Some Notes on the Last Review

Many of your drawings rely a whole lot on representation via the outline of things- their trace. There are more lines and points to a thing than it's profile.

Emphasize the ground line in the section and minimize the visual impact of the box below it.

How would you talk about this in terms of movement and sequence?
Is it best described by talking about how you'd proceed through the spaces in the garden?
or, is it about the history of the place as made up of shifts in boundaries and surfaces of the garden?

Did this place change over time in a way that, when drawn out, reveals something significant about the underlying relationship between the form and the sequences of event that happen in the place? Is this axo drawing of movement and time in the place historical time (Chronos) or is it about the experience of sequenced movement (Physio) across the forms of the garden?

If someone asked you to make a place like this, a place that has the same formal and evental structuring then what would you make? How would you break the architecture of the garden down to building materials and labor for estimating? If you were charged with laying this place out, what would you do? Where would be your first transit line? second? third? What types of those transit, geometry, boundary, and zone lines does the drawing have? Break them down into sets.

As you lay this thing out in Axo, construct it, just like you think you would if you were constructing it. Draw it in that sequence, notate your linework, and don't delete any lines you draw, just organize them to read with like lines.

Does the garden have a clear bounds or does its boundaries project out? Is it distinct from wilderness or does it gradually dissipate into the surrounding wilderness? How important is the idea of a boundary in your garden?

You can't answer all of these questions solidly- some of them don't really have an answer in your garden. There are good questions somewhere in there.

The main thing is: construct your drawings like people will build the thing. If you're not sure how it's built use your drafting skills to investigate the garden graphically. How do you build the drawing so that it is built on it's own right. Lay it out. Draw relationships.

Translate the geometries of constructing the gardens / grounds into the geometries and notations of a drawing.
This axonometric drawing technique will do that for you.
