PROJECT 3

Contructed 2-Point Perspective Renderings

DESCRIPTION
Project three has us rendering from plans of an existing structure. We must first analyze the plan and from this flat diagram, create a dimensional, 2 point perspective drawing.

The plans we will work from are to be taken from a selection of buildings that are signature examples of the modern aesthetic in architecture. These drawings will provide the groundwork for the perspective renderings, section drawings, elevations model making as well as the final presentation board. The links below will provide a lo-resolution jpeg for review. The drawings will be printed and handed out at the beginning of project 3
