Architecture is all about drawing lines and connecting dots to create fascinating elements of design and bringing them to life. Geometry is also all about lines, dots and angles. Thus when drawing sketches or architectural plans, you often use geometry to figure out the actual details of the plans. Here is how to use geometry in architecture. Draw out your basic plan. Start with basic shapes and lines. Check to make sure all your required elements are included. Measure out the scaling and mark as such on the draft. Figure out what the actual measurements of the lines (wall) you have drawn will be and mark them in parenthesis or quotations so it is easier for a builder to look at. Take one section and break it into a series of angles, points, rays and lines. If there is an exact right angle (90 degrees), start there. Mark it and make your way through the segment, figuring out the degree measurements of each angle. This information is essential to the builder so the walls all match up an
