Architecture
Architecture is the art and technique of designing and building, as distinguished from the skills associated with construction.
See Descriptive geometry and Architecture
Art
Art is a diverse range of human activity and its resulting product that involves creative or imaginative talent generally expressive of technical proficiency, beauty, emotional power, or conceptual ideas.

Axonometric projection
Axonometric projection is a type of orthographic projection used for creating a pictorial drawing of an object, where the object is rotated around one or more of its axes to reveal multiple sides.

Cone
A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base (frequently, though not necessarily, circular) to a point called the apex or vertex.
See Descriptive geometry and Cone
Design
A design is the concept of or proposal for an object, process, or system.

Dormer
A dormer is a roofed structure, often containing a window, that projects vertically beyond the plane of a pitched roof.

Ellipse
In mathematics, an ellipse is a plane curve surrounding two focal points, such that for all points on the curve, the sum of the two distances to the focal points is a constant.

Engineering
Engineering is the practice of using natural science, mathematics, and the engineering design process to solve technical problems, increase efficiency and productivity, and improve systems.

Engineering drawing
An engineering drawing is a type of technical drawing that is used to convey information about an object.

Gaspard Monge
Gaspard Monge, Comte de Péluse (9 May 1746 – 28 July 1818) was a French mathematician, commonly presented as the inventor of descriptive geometry, (the mathematical basis of) technical drawing, and the father of differential geometry.

Hyperbola
In mathematics, a hyperbola is a type of smooth curve lying in a plane, defined by its geometric properties or by equations for which it is the solution set.

Projection (linear algebra)
In linear algebra and functional analysis, a projection is a linear transformation P from a vector space to itself (an endomorphism) such that P\circ P.

In three-dimensional geometry, skew lines are two lines that do not intersect and are not parallel.
