How do architects use architectural representation to convey form?

Architects use architectural representation to convey form through the use of various visual techniques and tools, such as drawings, plans, diagrams, models, and computer-generated images. These techniques allow architects to communicate their ideas and designs to clients, stakeholders, and other professionals involved in the building process.

Architects typically use different types of drawings to convey different aspects of a building's form, such as elevations, sections, plans, and details. They may also use 3D models or computer-generated images, which can provide a more realistic and detailed representation of the building's form.

In addition to these visual techniques, architects also use descriptive language to convey form. They may use technical terms to describe the various components of a building, such as the materials, shapes, and structural elements. By combining different modes of representation, architects can effectively convey the form of their designs to others.
