Wuhan
This is a drawing of a modern building situated outside of Wuhan, China. I wanted to draw this building because of its geometric composition and symmetry, symbolizing simplicity and complexity in Chinese modern architecture. The drawing involved protractors and pens to achieve its symmetry, which symbolizes simplicity in its composition as well as complexity in its construction.
The drawing took one hour to complete and involved carefully studying how all the layers and frames in the building come together as one central point. Working on this assignment has refined my accuracy skills while reminding me that architecture is a universal language. As I worked on this assignment, I better understood how different styles within other cultures have interpreted modern architecture.
