Architectural Symbols

Architectural symbols are graphical representations of different features (such as doors, windows, stairs and appliances) that appear on blueprint plans or elevation drawings.

These are usually found on blueprints, or engineering drawings, of homes and other buildings.

The graphics themselves can vary in appearance from one plan to another, but can usually be distinguished fairly easily once you have a basic understanding of their meanings.


Below are some sample symbols for you to review.

There is a link at the bottom of this page to open a .pdf file that you can download and print a copy.
