🎨 Old school architectural graphics

Hi all!

Competition of municipal housing projects in the historic quarter. Fragment of the project

It's hard to believe that computer programs have appeared in the architects life quite recently. I remember very well the time wen we prepared the project's demonstration materials. We used for that huge sheets of paper measuring 1x1 meter. The sheet was wetted with water and stretched on a wooden frame. Then there was work on tracing paper - the composition and technical aspects were decided. After that, on the sheets, we drew with pencil the solutions worked out on the tracing paper. Then we outlined the entire #drawing with a rapidograph.

The whole drawing was looking like this:

In principle, at this stage, many architects stoped their work. This is considered a sufficient level for the specialist to be able to read the drawing. But if there was enough time and you are overwhelmed by the passion of creativity, then you can continue working on graphics. At this stage, the architect is faced with a difficult choice: to work in color or in monochrome...
I usually prefered to work with Chinese #ink.

If there was enough time before the deadline, I would add the entourage elements - trees

My trademark on the #drawings is the figures of people around a some car. This scene has a certain meaning. At the car there is standing a mafiosi in sunglasses. Two pensioners are passing by. They are carrying the products wich bought in the store. A woman looks at the mafiosi with disapproval
