Plaza Resurrection

This graphics course was woven together with a theme: to resurrect a Bahamian building that was abandoned halfway through its construction. It was constructed of concrete and concrete block, not unlike most buildings on the island. The building was originally intended to be a mixed-use, with shops below and apartments above. Students were required to make forty rough detail sketches on-site, then to make accurate analytical drawings and a model depicting the building in its current state of dilapidation. The final assignment was to use these drawings as a base, and with layers of trace and vellum, design something transformative and new, in effect resurrecting the place. Students each constructed a final model to reveal their new design also.
