What is "elevation"?

Elevation refers to one of the vertical faces or sides of a building, showing its height and design features. In architecture, an elevation drawing provides a detailed representation of how that side looks, including elements like windows, doors, and rooflines. This type of drawing is essential for visualizing the building's exterior and can highlight different architectural styles and materials used. Elevations help architects, builders, and clients understand the overall appearance and proportions of a structure, contributing to the planning and construction process.
