HOPE WAS FADING - WEEK 10

Well after a couple of weeks of struggling to find a. the time and b. the courage to put pen/pencil to paper, I finally started to explore the possibility of quite a circular building with many curves within the interior.  Unfortunately after the week 10 tute, I became to feel as though hope was fading...... and that the chances of getting some kind of impressive building together by due date was becoming impossible.  I joined this theme group because I was way out of practice with my hand sketching, and although I once was able to pull off beautifully hand drawn perspectives that were painted with guach and rendered with pencil.... 10 years of doing other things like raising a child, getting married and for the last four years working in an office where I have used Revit on a daily basis, has put me in a position where I now have some kind of stage fright when it comes to hand sketching.  All that aside,  now having realised that Brett actually wants us to draw without the use of Revit and that I probably won't pass the subject unless I change my ways, I have tried to put pencil and pen to paper and try to be one with the yellow trace.

So after realising that the revit drawings needed to be put on the shelf, I took on some of Brett's advice about adjusting some of the levels so that some overlap rather than having a central hollow core to my building. 

I did try to work with a circular type form however I got to a point where  I just could not seem to work out how my facade would work.  Usually I am ok with working from the inside out and allow the functions to dictate the form, however on this occasion I have decided to can everything and start from scratch.  The circular type building is just not working out for me.

Below are some scribbles from the circular days.
