Axonometry in architecture
Axonometry in architecture is a graphic representation technique that visualizes an architectural object or project in three dimensions on a two-dimensional plane.
Unlike perspective, which seeks to reproduce the visual appearance of objects as perceived by the human eye, axonometry uses uniform scales along the three main axes (x, y and z). This means that dimensions are preserved without distortion, enabling actual distances to be measured directly on the drawing.
Axonometry offers a clear, detailed view of the structure, simultaneously showing the sides, top and sometimes bottom of a project, making it easier to understand the spatial layout and relationship between the various elements. This method provides a global and detailed vision of the architectural whole.
At ERHÉ Architecture, axonometrics (known as "axo" in our jargon) complement the other visual elements of a project, be it the model, the floor plan or the collage. All these elements provide a clear and varied vision of a project such as an extension or renovation.
