First, I must say I don't know, but here is my
impression:
The architect has a copyright in the design, while the
draftsman has a copyright in the drawings. The design
may be fixed in the drawings or the building.
Also, the draftsman is typically an employee of the
architect, but that is a less interesting situation,
therfore not worthy of much analysis. (The work for
hire doctrine takes so much of the fun out of
copyright law.)
So, let's hear some corrections . . .
