What is the purpose of architectural representation?

The purpose of architectural representation is to communicate the design of a building or structure to various audiences, including clients, contractors, engineers, and city officials. It is a means of documenting and visualizing the design intent of architects so that others can understand the project and collaborate effectively. Architectural representation can take many forms, such as drawings, 3D models, renderings, animations, and physical models. The objective of architectural representation is to accurately and effectively communicate the design intent, including the spatial relationships, overall appearance and aesthetic, structural systems, building materials, and other important details. This helps to ensure that the design is accurately realized and successfully executed in the construction phase.
