Hello...

Not sure, can you provide some more details?

From what I've seen from a family member who studied Architecture, they just use the original version of "Graphite" pencils.
A good brand is Staedler. A pack will contain a set of about 12 pencils or so (each one is called a grade) but each of them have differences the user might find useful.
Then there was something called "Mechanical" pencil at some point, which is just like a pencil with a very fine tip that's sort of refillable too.

The graphite pencils weren't really that necessary asides for use cases in borrowed art courses, that's to say it was literally used for drawing (sketching), not even architecture. I don't know sha

Then for the main architecture-related stuffs, most times there was a particular grade of pencil they'll be asked to use for doing stuff like assignments, etc.

So back to the specific response: To my knowledge, a set of graphite pencils and a mechanical pencil (you'll get fine tip for neat lines at all times without needing to sharpen), both from trusted brands.

Goodluck to whoever is studying btw.

Graphite pencils are majorly for art...

0.5 to 2.0 mechanical pencil is what I know they use most. You can get graphite refills for the mechanic pencils as well.
