Drawings and Models

Pencil drawing from the early studio years: a fort bastion on a hillside and a lake palace seen across water. The studies work on tonal range, proportion, reflections and the relationship of a building to its ground. The habit of drawing by hand carries through into every later project.

Design at the studio was made with the hands as much as the pencil: sheets drafted at the bench, study models cut from card and foam, and massing tried out directly on top of the site drawing.
