Yes, absolutely, a layout pad and or layout paper can be used for architectural drawing. It is traditionally used for technical/architectural (sometimes known as orthographic) drawing.
Orthographic Projection/Drawing is nothing but representing a 3-Dimensional Object into 2-Dimensional drawing. it is a form of parallel projection where all the projections are orthogonal to the projection plane resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in viewing plane so, Another name for Orthographic Drawing is "Multview Drawing"
Orthographic drawing, views have no perspective foreshortening.

orthographic drawing is a drawing that communicates the shape and size of an object through a series of related two-dimensional views.
Six views are possible for an orthographic drawing, though three views are usually enough.

Orthographic sketches are usually in a 3-D form. This type of drawing is sometimes done on graph paper and shows a cut-away version of an object.
The purpose of an orthographic drawing is to accurately represent an object in two-dimensional form using multiple views (front, side, top, etc.). This allows for a clear and detailed representation of the object's shape and dimensions for design and communication purposes.
An orthographic drawing is one that uses a sort of perspective that does not portray an object the way it would look in a natural space. It shows each side of the object as flat and parallel to the "picture plane." It's not too unlike cubism. (Braque and Picasso explored drawing people and object by showing all sides at once.) This is used in order to give accurate engineering/mathematical dimensions. It is used for the fabrication of mechanical parts, furniture...
All drawing is a form of projection in itself. If you mean how do you project orthographic shapes to trace then the best way would be to place a light 180 degrees behind the object you wanted to draw. This would cast a silhouette (which is essentially what an orthographic drawing is) that you can trace.
