Scope and content
A sketch book of sketches, notes and pasted images, no titled included. Notes are made in blue and black ink with sketches in blue and black ink and pencil, spread across 11 pages in a 28 page notebook. The notebook uses a series of examples and comparisons of architectural representation and what is perceived in each representation, explaining the emotion evoked by mass, space, surface, line, colour and texture. It goes on to explain the "face" of architecture, and the manner in which the architect designs the main facade of a building versus the less important back of a building and how they are sometimes unrecognizable as one structure. It touches on decoration in architecture and the manner in which architects use different approaches to arouse emotions in a building. There is a loose pasted image on the third page.
