Covers what a program includes, how a floor plan is viewed from above, and how to think through sequence, light and views, room size, furniture fit, occupant needs, and flexibility. Provides example room layouts, a sample ADU program for Mr. Krabs, and typical symbol/size references for walls, doors, windows, fixtures, and stairs.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":30,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/technology/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/how-architects-work-drawing-floor-plans-design-and-create-drawings/649698/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/how-architects-work-drawing-floor-plans-design-and-create-drawings/649698.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"GGG","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-27","2026-10-24",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":19},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What does an architectural program define for an ADU floor plan?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"A program specifies what spaces a building must have, based on how people will use the building.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What is a floor plan, according to the document?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"A floor plan is a scale drawing showing a space from above, similar to a bird’s-eye view inside the building.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What drawing conventions are used in architectural floor plan sets?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"Architectural drawing conventions are graphic, symbolic representations of real design parts (such as doors, windows, and walls) drawn in a standard way so everyone reading the plans understands them.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},649698,1793030230,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":29,"category_name":30,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":19,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":36},962093532725,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_276721f389ce27ea32af1340a28f341c","How Architects Work  \n- & -Drawing Floor Plans  \n~~Look & Feel (Mood Board)~~  \n~~Program~~  \n~~Spatial Organization ( Bubble Diagram)~~  \nDesign & Create Drawings  \n(Floor Plans & Elevations)  \nPhysical Model  \nHow do architects turn a program into afloor plan?
