A convention is formed as an agreement between people with a shared interest. Accordingly, conventions dealing with the representation of architectural or urban works derived over time from practice and agreements on usage. They are only meaningful when recognised by at least both the author and intended viewer.  \nThe adjective ‘conventional’ today has negative connotations, as it implies an unquestioned copying of traditional solutions or styles. Yet it is impossible to advance disciplinary practices and knowledge without first knowing agreed conventions. Thus it has always been accepted that conventions are adjusted during application, requiring a continuous reassessment of their appropriateness. Conventions are not strict and final rules but general principles. The confirmation or challenge of these rules is an important part of the thinking required during design.  \nThe principal aim of drawing conventions is to ensure the communication of a design idea and project. While early design drawings are almost unlimited in their scope and form, construction drawings are strictly coordinated and follow standards prescribing their content, scale  \nand graphic representation. Which conventions are used depends on the intention by an author and the context in which they are presented. Meaning, a typical construction drawing follows conventions of how to describe the relations of building components, it does not, however, usually explain the sequence or method of assembly. Similarly, an urban plan might indicate building footprints but normally does not determine their specific architectural forms.  \nThe way conventional rules are established and evolve directly reflects on changing artistic intentions and available media. Cultural exchanges and technological advances, such as the invention of the printing press, tracing paper and photography, had significant effects on how and what we draw and how we read a drawing. The axonometric projection, for example, while only developed in geometric terms in the 17th century, was used prior to this for decades in Japanese narrative depictions of dwellings and towns in their surrounding landscape. The axonometric was therefore an expression of very different understandings of reality – one to establish an empirical representation, the other to convey the thresholds and life unfolding between different environments. Although drawing conventions  \n16 Conventions  \nseem normative, they are just a form of interpretation. New technological and representational means lead to continual expansion of disciplinary knowledge, and eventually results in new conventions.  \nOne recent technological advance in particular – the computer-generated drawing – has fundamentally changed the way we conceive and represent a design. While in the past the two-dimensional plan and its orthographic projection defined the design process, today we easily develop designs directly in three dimensions and as easily make changes to them in 3D models. In addition, computers have introduced a new realism – that of the photographic rendering. Computeraided design (CAD) has made many old drawing skills necessary to produce a hand drawing obsolete, withdrawing equipment such as T-squares, rapidographs, triangles and templates a relic of the past. Axonometric or perspectival projections are now readily available once a 3D computer model is created, thus requiring new skills, for example, that of 3D modelling. Likewise, the rendering of drawings has changed, as has lettering and hatching. Rather than having to carefully plan a drawing before its execution, CAD drawings and models are often started without a final drawing in mind. Especially  \nthe creation of different views and renderings, includingthe setting of materials, lights and shadows, is something that can be easily experimented with or defined according to changing parameters.
