Description

Ground plan and elevation sketches for groups of storefronts arranged around a gentle stream and waterfalls with landscape elements, with wide pedestrian-only streets and walkways. Village could be a "real" town center, a theme park village, a gaming environment, or more? 

Architecture is an assembly of different influences as noted on the plan. The general "look" or glue that holds it all together is an Italian/Tuscany style for the massing, roof shapes, some materials, and general flavor, while many individual buildings have other influences. Hopefully, the whole thing "comes together." I designed each group separately.

Technique: Each of these groups was drawn separately in pencil on white vellum over graph paper in scale 1/16" = one foot, mostly using a 4H pencil for general outlines, window and door arrangements, and rough details, followed by a 2H pencil to darken and define everything, followed by H and HB. At this stage, proportion is everything! Getting it exact comes later, and each complicated detail can be drawn in a bigger scale as a separate drawing, such as a column, or a lamp, or a detail of a brick pattern. I then scan, darken a bit, arrange on the "main sheet," clean it up, and label everything. Measurements are rough, feet rounded off to nearest foot.

Updated on 10-22-2019 with more detailed ground plan, updated elevations, some with slight corrections to slope.

This is an interesting article. I, too, have now begun to take an active interest in construction and find out what conditions must be met for the main types of construction activities. By the way, in this article I found a lot of useful information about construction https://www.celsia.io/blogs/top-things-to-know-about-construction-and-the-eu-taxonomy , and also found out what taxonomy of the EU and why it is so important. Here on the blog you will also find a lot of other useful information, and I recommend that you get to know Celsia better, because they can become your reliable assistants.
