Can Drawings Distort the Truth?
USE: What buildings and spaces will be used for
AMOUNT: How much would be built on the site
LAYOUT: How the buildings and public and private spaces will bearranged on the site; and the relationship between themand the buildings and spaces around the site
SCALE: How big the building and spaces would be, their height,width and length
LANDSCAPE: How open spaces will be treated to enhance and protectthe character of a place
APPEARANCE: What the building and spaces will look like, for example,building material and architectural details

Axonometric Projection Isometric: The three major axes make equal angles with thepicture plane.
Dimetrics: Two of the three major axes make equal angleswith the picture plane.
Trimetrics: The three major axes make different angles withthe picture plane.

Isometric: projection of a three-dimensional subject, inclunedto the picture plane in such a way that its three principle axesmake equal angles with the picture plan and are equallyforeshortened.
Dimetrics:projection in which two of the principle axes areequally foreshortened and the third appears longer or shorterthan the other two.
Trimetrics: projection in which all three principle axes areforeshortened at a different rate.

Oblique Projection
Elevation obliques: A principle vertical face isorientated parallel to the picture plane.
Plan obliques: A principle horizontal face isorientated parallel to the picture plane.

Perspective Projection One Point Perspective: One horizontal axis isperpendicular with the picture plane, the otherhorizontal and the vertical axes are parallel with thepicture plane.
Two Point Perspective: Both horizontal axes areoblique to the picture plane, and the vertical axisremains parallel with the picture plane.
Three Point Perspective: Both horizontal axes as wellas the vertical axis are oblique to the picture plane.

One Point Perspective projection portrays a three-dimensional form by projecting all of its points to apicture plane by straight lines that converge at a fixedpoint representing a single eye
Perspective Projection
Two Point Perspective projection more closely mimics abinocular image.
