FREE UNIT goes drawing for a week

drawing workshop in New Forest


I ll be cooking Korean food


 per my earlier email  - "During that week you will be drawing by hand only and  mainly in section. You will draw and model your project at scales from 1.1 to 1.1000. moving through these scales several times during the week.  The aim is that you make spatial and material progress and make decisions from the scale of a detail, through enclosure to siting and landscape"

So the week goes like this. 

Monday and Tuesday with us  - one cycle of drawings covering all scales.

Wednesday and Thursday alone  - the same cycle of drawings again but including a sketch model at each scale.

Friday Morning interim pinup

Monday 28th Final pinup in EG at 2.00 and discussion of IDS presentation.

Thursday 31st IDS presentation.

Think of it like a  pecha kucha or an exam! . Each scale must be completed in two hours. Then 30 minute rest and so on. If you let one slide into the other then the whole point is lost. That is that various scales are integrated by being present in every other scale. So you can make and see a decision about the relationship say between heavy plinth and lightweigh enclosure at the scale of 1.1 and 1:1000. So you start on Monday with 1: 1 then 1: 1000  then 1: 10 then 1: 500  then 1: 20 then 1:200 then 1:100.  A total of 7 two hour sessions by the end of Tuesday when we leave you. 

All of theses drawings are sections completed in pencil or similar. Try to set up a common format of page size and orientation. Also set up a system of line weight and drawing convention so that we can recognise say aluminium as it appears on every drawing. Clearly many scales can only show be a fragment of your project on a single A1 or A0 page. This is ok however your 1: 1 must be present in every other scale so that it acts as a point of reference.
