Versailles, France Plan of Hunting Chateau - 10/28/23
An ariel view of the palace and surround landscapes that Louis XIV’s resided and hunted in. The main components of the sketch are the symmetry and proportions. The view conjures up visons of the ties between monarchs and religion. After a semester long class studying the architecture of the old world, this sketch stayed with me.
Ur, Mesopotamia. The Great Ziggurat of Ur-Nammu - 9/1/23
One of the first sketches that I did in the class mentioned above was the Great Ziggurat is quite memorable. The thought that was put into this structure is impressive, part of the reason it stands out to me. The corners of the Ziggurat was aligned with each of the cardinal axis. From a straight on view the building can be split down the middle in perfect symmetry. The style is traditional to ancient Mesopotamian architecture. Seeing buildings of the past, inspires me to create designs that can stand the test of time.
