Final Section Drawing

For the final section, I began by drawing by hand all the initial linework that needed to be done, ensuring that the internal aspects were done in the even, thin line weight as I had seen from Toyo Ito's more technical sections. The main outlining of the building, as well as the floors had been done in a bolder line, as was prominent with most of Renzo Piano's sections. This was easy to do, and I had included the main item to the building, the shelving in the library, to draw attention to the core of the building - the most important focal point of the section.

 

I had then added the colouring, careful to know where the lines of light would come in, adding shadows in the darker corners as taken from the exemplars by Steven Holl. I added a strong, distinct gradient of purple where people would dwell. After scanning the image, it seemed sharp, but I would then alter this image digitally to make the colours seem softer, as well as add in the background to suit the manner that Renzo Piano had used. In addition to this, I would try and superimpose a real image of the sky into the background to give the section more depth.
