Suggestive, not literal architectural drawings

We’ve been discussing a lot the idea of how to represent your second project so that they have an architectural language (but perhaps not literal sections in a building with floor slabs and people). Here are two references we were showing around, so you have the links. Happy section making!

For anyone interested in the techniques behind the Digital Grotesque project and others by Michael Hansmeyer / Benjamin Dillenburger, check out these course pages from ETH Zürich with Processing scripts:

More of the theory behind it is described in the article “Mesh Grammars –
