So, Architectural graphics imply graphics (visuals) focusing on the designing and construction of buildings. In addition to communication, Architects use graphics to help client understand design intent. 

In architecture, designs are prepared using:


Sketching

SKETCHING: Freehand drawing is the quickest method to conceptualize an idea. Perspective and isometric drawings represent 3 dimensional objects on a 2 dimensional surface.


3 D Model

MODEL MAKING: Model is a 3 dimensional representation of your design or concept. This will be a mock-up or a prototype of the future design.


Drafting

DRAFTING(Manually): After sketching and if approved by the client, one can  start working on the process of producing a technical drawing i.e. a draft. This will help to convey the design to the craftsman or worker who makes it.  


Drafting tools

DRAFTING(Software): Drafting using Computer aided drawing(CAD). There are several software for architects to conceptualize the most complex designs like Autocad, Archicad, Revit, Rhino, Sketchup, etc.

However, above mentioned are just the tools to execute your ideas. An architect uses these tools to express their inner creativity and design remarkable structures.
