Exemplar 3 - Sendai Mediatheque by Toyo Ito


This section by Toyo Ito is quite contrary to the more simple and colourful style as the first exemplar. Although the elevation in this case has taken on that method of visual representation, the section is quite technical. 

The most noticeable aspect of this section is its equal, even line weight, which makes the section appear neater. It seems that it has been drawn in this manner due to the high level of detail and complexity through the design of this building.

As I have concentrated on the tone and colour previously, I think it is still important to have an exemplar that illustrates the necessity for clear structural detail, and I propose to use an even line weight when adding the internal structural elements to my drawing. Although I may have it greyed out as mentioned in previous posts, I would still want to be able to have a clear, concise representation of the design.
