Interior and sectional perspective

Interior perspective drawings are a useful way to describe the intended function of a room or space. At interior scale, the sense of interaction that the potential user might have with the space, the atmosphere of it or how they may use it can be communicated.

Often an interior perspective drawing is combined with a section drawing so that the activity that might take place inside the room is conjoined with the sense of how the building is constructed and what the relationships between the interior spaces are. These sectional perspectives connect the viewer with the space more directly by associating the building with a potential experience.

Scale

Describing a building accurately will incorporate a variety of scales, but selecting the appropriate scale will depend on the size of the building design. A small house can be drawn at 1:50 scale, which will show (in relative detail) the building and its suggested furniture layout. A larger house or building, however, would be insufficiently described at 1:50 scale and would need to be described at a minimum of 1:100 scale. A larger development, perhaps a development for a block of apartments, would need to be described at a minimum of 1:200 scale – if aspects of landscape and the external surrounding area are important 1:500 may be used (but this scale is relatively diagrammatic).
