Arch 1142 - Drawing Workshop

Below are photos of my final work from the drawing workshop of a family house of Mario Botta in Switzerland, an extraordinary building 5 stories in height.

As it was done on trace it is a bit difficult to see some of the detail, so I've taken some close ups to show this.

This is something to note for next time, namely that I should consider legibility/readability and use greater contrast on the trace for detail.

The composition reflects the stepped nature of the mountains around the site, and a collage showing the building placed on a Google earth image along with a perspective from the base up gives a sense of scale.


The plans, elevations and sections are all done in different styles for experimentation.

Arch1142 - Atlas of Colour - Tunnel

Here are pictures of my film tunnel.

This tunnel is based on the colours experienced in the film of Frank Herberts novel, Dune.

The three colours in the centre of the vortex are the colours of the three "houses" on the planet: Atreides, Harkonen and Ordos who are constantly muscling to control the spice on the planet Arakkis.

Surrounding the vortex are countless sand dunes as seen in the movie.

These images show the front section of the book with with all the exercises.

The book follows a sequence based on a timeline of ones life, and the colours which one experiences and enjoys throughout life.

My book is based on the precedent S,M,L,XL by OMA.
