Plan View

Plan view is a two-dimensional drawing of a building or structure that is viewed from the top, giving a bird's-eye perspective of the structure or building. It is primarily used for architectural purposes and is an important tool for architects when creating blueprints for buildings. It is a way for architects to visualize the building in its entirety before it is built, allowing for adjustments to be made to the structure before construction begins. The plan view is a crucial component of architectural design, providing an easy-to-read representation of the building that can be used to understand the layout of the structure.

Masonry is an art form that has been around for centuries, and its use in architecture has been well-documented. Plan view is an architectural term that refers to the two-dimensional representation of a structure in its entirety. It is a top-down view of the building that allows architects to visualize the way the building will look and function. By understanding the spatial relationships between the components of a building, architects can better determine how to orient the design elements. Plan view also allows for the visualization of circulation patterns, rooflines, and other features that need to be considered when designing a building. It is essential to understanding the overall composition of a building.
