Chicken Point Cablin, short term assignment due 7th Oct.

Morning gym and study of Chicken Point cabin, USA.

Morning gym; houses and elevations. We had to deduce how the elevations were from the axonometric.

Getting started!

Side elevations and their sections.

Front and back elevations, section and plans

Axonometric and little freehand sketches

Portait seminar

Just some of the portraits I did during the seminar, in the style of Giacometti and my own.

Ebeling house; short term assignment; DORTMUND

Drawing 4 sections and an axonometric sketch of Ebeling house, in Dortmund.
I was happy with the axonometric, taking into account it is my first one, and it doesnt look out of proportion ;) I really enjoyed this task.

The first freehand try-outs in my sketching book (A4) 

The process of the axonometric

Getting my head around some small problems... nothing that cant be solved!

The plans...

The final lay-out 

The final axonometric, freehand.

Morning gym; starting to think about axonometrics

We started like every morning, with the Gym, drawing buildings and sketching places.

folding a paper and drawing it from observation.

Starting to think in 3D

The Cafeteria Task (for Monday 30th Sept)

Starting the cafeteria assignment.
We took measurements in groups, doing quick sketches and then we proceeded to do freehand plans, sections and elevations of the building.
I used a scale meter to get the proportions and ratios right. Construction lines are made with a 3H pencil. Then, I did the outline with a 2B pencil, leaving the construction lines underneath.

Getting started with our team drawings. We made little groups of 3 or 4 to take and share measurements, which made everything clearer when the moment came to draw the "more accurate" sketches. 

The process of drawing the section. First, construction lines and light pencil marks. Then, going over with 2B (freehand) and adding finer details. Finally, shading the section.

Side elevations of the building.

Front and back elevations of the building

Plans of the top and bottom floors plus the third section. 

 I am learning many things from this assignment and I am really enjoying it. It is dynamic and different; we got to do team work as well as individual work and it is widening my perspective as well as 3D view. I would like to use a ruler, it is a natural urge, but drawing lines freehand is helping me out and teaching me to do it slowly and carefully. This project is purely inspiring!

The study of a leaf

Morning work in Architectural expression;
we had to chose a leaf and draw a plan, an elevation and 5 sections (minimum).
This exercise is, I believe, part two of the croissant exercise.
