Tadao 4x4 house: this page with be mixture of section, elevation and storyboard perspective views.... top left corner will be mixed media drawing of Akashi Stait Bridge and Inland Island .

I want to put a lot of emphasis on the views as 4x4 functions as a monument or a watchtower than a house, in my opinion.

Below is the result after adding water colour as background wash. The bridge will be drawn in larger scale just to give a visual impact to the page.

The cut-off section in the center will be highlighted to show circulation of the house

white boxes above will be filled with perspectives to illustrate relationship between inhabitants and space.
Experiment- drawing a city view when looking out from the large glass wall and over lay it with a section. I think this experiment will work if I remove details and just have outline of the viewing boxes.

On progress..

attempt to show:

1. use of space between two house; one focus on monument/views whilst the other is more client based

- want to show through perspective section and storyboard

2. structure-looking at the use of staircase & solid vs skeleton structure

3. material- concrete vs aluminium and glass

4. use of tatami mat as unit of measurement
