In the early phases of design they first must produce a series of design drawings, or typical study drawings which are the designer’s principal means of thinking. The presentation aspect of drawings are a major part of the design development as the architect refines their idea and design into clear, coordinated set of drawings following all aspects of the design. Once the client has approved of the fully developed design or additional design issues that have emerged have been addressed, construction drawings are then produced.
