Sectional Perspective

Well, we're so nearly at the end. As we all frantically try to organise our final presentations, finish our models and delve into the dangers of printing I wish good luck to all.

As [probably] the penultimate post of the year, here is my sectional perspective drawing. As with the visuals, this is hand drawn and then Photoshopped. I've based this on the section submitted in my Tech Report, there are a few things I'd like to still tweak on this, but it's 95% there.

Visuals

When thinking about how I represent this building in three dimensions I decided to try several different ways. I've used sketches and models throughout the design process, with little 3d computer modelling. I wanted to try and do something I've not done so much of in the past so rather than 3d renderings have opted for a large physical model and a series of sketches/drawings to explain the site and proposal.

The image below shows the crèche, which is adjacent to the main entrance of the school. Hand drawing is not my greatest strength, so I've gone for the clean line drawing with photoshopped textures, shadows etc. Although it doesn't instantly come across as being hand drawn, I'm happy with the outcome and intend to use this to produce a few more visuals as well as a sectional perspective.

The image at the bottom is a photo of my physical model, taken on my phone so apologies for the poor quality. I just have a few dozen trees to make and then it'll be done.

As always, I'm interested in any comments you may have.

Preparing the final presentation

It's been a while since my last update and I've been very busy. I just wanted to update with some development images I'm preparing for the final presentation, hopefully to get some feedback. These will be the first three images of the presentation, showing the location plan and the concept behind the proposal, I won't explain them too much as hopefully they'll tell you what you need to know.

Any thoughts or comments gladly welcome.
