Workshop 3: Architectural Drawing

The cup exercise.
I find it a little bit hard to do this exercise because the cup has many curvy lines and it hard to measure too. But I finally come up the idea to give a tone into the cup by using charcoal to emphasize the dark and light.


This is the cup that we use.


This the 3D exercise. If you see carefully, I use dots to create the shading of the buildings and the surrounding, such as trees and people.


This is the shadow exercise.


I decided to draw Riva san Vitale House by Mario Botta because I think the building is very beautiful and very interesting to draw. It's just some pictures of the progress of my work. I use T square to draw and rotring pen.


This is the plan showing the floor and the bridge.

The north elevation.

The section.

This is my final drawing. I want to empahsize on the surroundings of the building so I decided to create a 3D drawing with the surrounding of the house, such as trees and mountains.

I also want to give a sense of 3 Dimensional thing by making layers to the drawing. As a result, the drawings are "pop out" and it is very nice.

In this final submission, I also want to give an attention to the tone because I love playing with tone so I created the drawing by using charcoal and white chalk. Furthermore, black and white colour create nice graphic in term of positive and negative.
