SJ 04 - Tracing

SJ 04a

Tracing appears to be more challenging than I thought it would be, especially without ruler. After this exercise, I can feel that it helps a lot in drawing straight lines without rulers.

Steven Holl is the assigned as our architect for my group. We were asked to do some research on his works and projects and then pick one of the buildings and trace the site plan, plan, section, elevation, and perspective of the building chosen.

The building that I chose is the Herning Museum Of Contemporary Art.

This building is actually divided into a few different sections, very different from other museums build previously.

The Site Plan:

The Plan View of the Ground Floor:

The Section View:

The Elevation of the building:

I actually had a hard time looking for a perspective view of the Herning Museum Of Contemporary Art.

Finally, I manage to find this picture but the it was a night shot. So it was rather challenging to sketch.

Perspective View:

And something additional, a light diagram of the Herning Museum Of Contemporary Art.

Architectural symbols/templates are very important when it comes to plans. It helps save time when it comes to drawing plans. Below are some examples.

These symbols are mostly used in landscape architecture.
