ORDINARY ROOFSCAPE

MS09-045 TRANSPARENT DRAWING

To round out the week, a last travel related page regarding ordinary roofscapes.

Drawing above of an ordinary roofscape in Ortahisar, Turkey.  I snapped this photo.  Then I did my drawing at a later time.

Although I drew just one segment of the roofscape, there are many other segments that I could draw from to try and capture the three dimensional volumes of this fantastic geometry.

It seems almost unbelievable that there would be this incredibly rich geometric offset, both in plan and in section.  If you designed a building that did all of this, it would be published immediately.  Yet these builders simply did what they needed to do.
