The role of lines in architectural representation is to convey information about the building's form, structure, and spatial relationships. Lines are used to define the outline and edges of a building or part of a building, as well as to depict the proportions and dimensions of its various components. They may also represent the location of structural elements like walls, columns, and beams, or convey information about materiality and texture. In addition to their technical functions, lines in architectural drawings can also convey a sense of movement, emotion, and style, helping to communicate the architect's design intent and vision.
