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.
