Takero Shimazaki – 7H

I chose this view as I am always attracted to the complexities of geometries and the lines that scaffoldings and structural bars create on building sites. This one is a particularly amazing and complex site on Fenchurch Street and my eyes were immediately drawn to it. However, I decided that this site was interesting as it could be any location, but at the same time was very specific to London in its scale, complexity, the background buildings and the cores being created. 

“Temporal Fragments of Lines, London”
A series of 3 sketches by hand on card with colours/paint in digital application

I wanted to make a drawing that was more abstract than literal, so that the drawing itself was a kind of an architectural ‘idea’, rather than just an observation. So, I separated some of the ‘surfaces’ and the ‘objects’ from the ‘lines’ and the ‘bars’ in the way colour was applied to the drawing. I have always being fascinated by the delicate lines and lightweight elements forming spaces.
