Drawings – Page 6 – mofussillab

Some ideas behind this drawing :

The studio i am presently teaching is about public buildings, where section is being used as a tool to generate publicness. This drawing is an attempt on that line of thought.
I was thinking how in the offset printing days, when it was very expensive to use colours, the drawings had to be black and white. Even the thesis reports around 2 decades ago had the same limitation. So one had to be sharp with the parameters available – linetype, lineweight, hatches (as a replacement to colour). These limitations made the drawings focussed. Today a good laserjet colour A3 print costs around 20 bucks , which is super reasonable compared to the early days of colour printing. But still it requires the same effort and care to make a good drawing.
It is an isometric drawing – looks more objective (or alteast architects would like it to sound that way). This helps to add or edit lines when you have exported from a 3D software to a 2D vector based software (Autocad or Illustrator). If it was a perspective, it gets more cumbersome to edit, as lines are not parallel and vanishing. An isometric can be also scaled easily and repositioned, which is not possible in perspective composition.
There is an echo of Shodan House here. Solid base – porous terrace framed by a flat roof. This is extending the idea to a larger scale.
