What do Architectural plans typically show?

  1. Structural details

  2. The actual design of the project

  3. Electrical wiring

  4. Landscape design

The correct answer is: The actual design of the project

Architectural plans primarily serve as a visual representation of the overall design and layout of a project. They illustrate the configuration of spaces, dimensions, relationships between different areas, and the intended aesthetic aspects of the design. These plans are essential for communicating the architect's vision to both clients and contractors, ensuring that everyone involved has a clear understanding of how the finished structure will look and function. While structural details, electrical wiring, and landscape design are important components of a complete building project, they typically fall under specialized drawings or plans that complement architectural plans. These other plans include details that focus on the technical or functional aspects of the project rather than the overarching design intent that architectural plans convey.
