Session Tuesday 27th Oct

We are all going out on a visit to a site in London, making use of the good weather we hope.
Please make sure you arrive at the studio on time in the morning, and be equipped with cameras, sketchbooks, pencils, some kind of measuring equipment (a 3m tape?) money enough for underground to Hampstead, subsistence etc and brains.
In the meantime we hope you have equipped yourself with the basic orthographic drawing equipment for use when you get home, basically:

drawing board (in production)
set square
clutch pencil and sharpener (or other)
architects scale rule
pad of layout paper
sheet of graph paper and acetate for use with your drawing board
masking tape

Session Tuesday 20th Oct


Tomorrow we're going to talk about drawing. I shall be talking about sketching because I was never very good at orthographic drawing. I shall also be looking back a while to '84, when I spent three months on a Moto Guzzi 500 traveling Europe and compiled a sketchbook of what I did. Twenty five years on I'll show you the drawings for the first time.
This picture is of me a little earlier- growing up with a Honda 250 G5.

Materials

The lintel over this window is curious. You would expect the bricks to 'want' to fall off. So there is much more to the phrase 'truth to materials' than meets the eye.

This is the villa by Mies van de Rohe in Berlin 1933.

This is an image of sculptor Robert Smithson in the early 1970's. He is contemplating the molecular structure of glass and coal vs the appearance of glass and coal (coal looks irregular but is regular, and glass is the opposite).
