The Moods Of Architectural Illustration Conveying A Feeling

By Tom Tripp

Different forms and various shapes appear as we contemplate architectural illustration - conveying a feeling܂ There are sharp edges‚ and ´there are curved ones‚ and pointed rooftops and flat ones܂ The original illustration ´tells ´the beginning of a story܂ As you flip ´through ´the pages‚ ´the inside comes alive‚ and ´the outside dresses it all܂

When using different materials‚ other feelings and moods will surface܂ Brick is serious‚ uniform‚ set exactly evenly܂ There is no room for much variation܂ It is classic and strong܂ Wood is soft‚ and it gives a warmer feeling܂ Stucco coverings are very uncertain and uneven܂ They will be colored afterward ´to finish ´the effect܂

Stone is sometimes uneven all over a building܂ Although it needs ´to be matched‚ so ´that angles can look like ´they fit ´together‚ ´they are not so uniform܂ There is much variation‚ and a lot ´to look at and take in with raw stone in ´the architecture܂

The height of a building states its grandeur܂ As it ´towers over us‚ we have ´the feeling ´that it sees all‚ perhaps knows all܂ There is also a desire ´that one gets‚ ´to get ´to ´the ´top‚ ´to see what it sees܂

Cone shaped roofs give a sense of comfort‚ and ´that ´there is safety inside܂ A flatter rooftop stands stubbornly‚ unaffected܂ The pitch of certain roofs convey ´the idea ´that nothing can ´touch it‚ and indeed‚ it is usually created ´that way for ´the weather elements in the region܂

The illustrations ´that an architect creates portrays ´the skeleton of a building܂ When all illustrations are put ´together‚ ´the body of it becomes real and alive܂ All of ´the shapes become connected܂ The inside is understood‚ along with all of ´the infrastructure܂ And ´the outside is ´the final dressing ´to ´the creation܂ The exterior drawings convey a feeling‚ a mood ´that others will also feel from ´the architectural illustration - conveying a feeling܂
