Monday

For tomorrow, print 1 sheet 36 by 36 inches with both building drawings ( floor plans and sections) on it.

These drawings should be done in the 2-D program of your choosing. Autocad, illustrator, or form-z is up to you.

In this drawing there should be a hierarchy of control lines, regulating lines, centerlines, setbacks, guidelines, and context limits. These should show geometric rhythm, hierarchy, and proportion in the Palladio villas and in the Corbusier buildings. USE LINE WEIGHT and LINE TYPE to delineate these conditions (centerlines are almost always a long-short-long combo) types of lines. NO COLORS- Grey scale only and use even that sparingly. NO POCHE, NO HATCHING and NO TITLES. All drawings should be the same scale


As you work with these drawings, you should also be organizing the information into layers, meaning use separate layers for each different building element: interior walls, exterior walls, columns, control lines, cut lines, etc. etc.
