Drawing IV

All done for Architectural Communications for the semester. I spent most of this week working on the drawings (and by most I mean Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and lots of time in between) and I think they turned up OK. I stuck with what I knew I was good at in this presentation. It was important to build my drawings around what I thought about the building but also include my drawing strengths. So I stuck with military projection! It's my favourite drawing approach (I also used in extensively in BENV1080), although apparently it's a bit outdated.

The 3D drawing was by far the most fun. Drawing the huge axonometric was great because even in its early stages you could see it piecing together, and it just made me want to finish more of it.
The layered plans was also built on this idea of the military projection. I wanted to build a sense of traveling between planes with this drawing, and I think/hope I achieved this with the centre axis as the stairwell. The elevation and section were placed next to the axis to sort of "build up" to it, using the profile of the landscape to try to draw similarities between the building and the environment it is in.

Either way the drawings are now off for a year to pretty much be never seen again (not that I mind). I happy with how this course turned out, it allowed me to practice what I wasn't very good at but still gave me an opportunity to strengthen some of my more developed drawing techniques. Check out my final submission below.
