STEVEN HOLL
After much consideration of the many different styles, I decided to stick with my initial gut instincts and choose the styles that consistantly (even after going back and forth), still stand out to be the better interpretations of sectional drawings.
The above section is one of two or three that does appeal to me, firstly for the variation in tonal values - the monochromatic scheme allows the reader to instantly judge depth through use of shadows. The careful and restricted placement of figures emphasises key path/method of travel within the building and enables the reader to intrepret scale within masses of space without clutter of too many figures. The overall form of the building is excentuated as the main focus.
The above section appear to be in line with the style used in the first image. A similar technique is used to suggest depth and shadow.
Most of the othe examples of Steven Holl's appear to be a little more technical rather than presentation type sectional drawings.
From what I can see (within the those examples found) he doesn't appear to be a big fan of the use of figures within sections.
