Elevation and Section 1500 - 1600

This drawing in pen and brown ink with brown wash offers us a unique view of an unconfirmed building. The work’s composition is neatly divided into elevation on the left and section on the right. Note how the facade, rendered with careful attention to proportion and detail, contrasts with the building's interior, which reveals a complex arrangement of spaces. The stark lines and shadows create an almost diagrammatic effect, typical of architectural studies, while the use of a single hue across the drawing enforces a unified visual experience. There is a clear interest in revealing the building's structure, highlighting the relationship between exterior form and interior space. This dissection challenges traditional notions of architectural representation, inviting us to consider not just the appearance but also the spatial and structural logic of the building. It asks us to look beyond the surface and consider the underlying frameworks that shape our built environment.
