i promise - this is not self aggrandizement - i'm just the biggest supporter of hand drawing - i specialized in it at school, and i'm dying to teach so that i could help re-institutionalize the use of the hand drawing to express as well as generate design ideologies in studios. this has a glimpse of some (ahhem) hand drawings.. i'd literally spend days in studio on an 80 square inch section of my drawings. thanks for this thread - and keep posting!

i hate when i scan images and i get that shadow on the side. it happens with books and separated drawings.

I'm certainly sorry to hear that. . .

An alternative is to use your camera; I retrieve most of my book-bound images that way. It can take some ingenuity to get a flat and evenly-lit image, though.

So, hand-drawn over a sketch-up ? What about all those wiggly and slightly irregularly-spaced parallels ?

fair enough criticism -- but, it still has more of a "done by hand or partially by hand" feel though than the ones posted above by metamechanic.

i'll be more careful in future.

Thanks. Well I'm learning -- are we saying that every line there was done in Sketch-up Pro ? It all looks so completely hand-drawn. . .?

personally, I think it is a certain amount of hand work, applied over some sort of computer generated perspective. but, who knows for sure, other than the creator?

Ha ! Well there's perfect perspective, and a nice regularity to the squiggle, probably, and some other goodies -- wht's not to like ?

i don't think every line was drawn in sketch up. i think it was manipulated in psd, maybe with some extra hand drawing, especially the trees and the sky. but the building has gotta be sketchup.

The architecture. I suppose the drawings are quite accomplished. I like the Sant'Elia and the Venturi above more. . .

i hadn't seen that more 'polished', detailed sant'elia drawing before. starts to look like otto wagner. no wonder they didn't publicize that one more. he was WAY too establishment; that would have been embarrassing. the ones that look like they were dashed off in very little time and with very little detail are much more futurist-appropriate.
