scale drawings
Miniaturized architectural plans
Scale drawings are representations where all dimensions maintain a consistent ratio to the actual object or space depicted.
Architects, engineers, and cartographers use them to show large things—buildings, machines, land—at manageable sizes.
The scale (such as 1:100 or one inch equals one mile) allows accurate measurements to be taken from the drawing: The scale drawing showed the kitchen at one-quarter inch per foot.
