HAND-DRAWN ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS/RENDERINGS

PROJECT 1: almost wireframe, single color use.
note the thicknesses of cut versus projected, and even different thicknesses for different cut materials ( concrete/stone versus wood and steel) 
note the single use of color ( brown for wood in section, and green for greenery. walls are filled with same color in section/plan)



PROJECT 2: heavy color use
The colors are concentrated on the project, leaving the context light grey/wireframe ( rendered site plan & section)
In the site analysis, the rendering is diagrammatic. all buildings are grey and the only color are the ones that shows information ( red for fields of visions, arrows and contours, yellow for solar diagram, ect..)
