TEXT & ILLUSTRATION BY MATHIAS KRUSE JACOBSEN, UNIT 2/3 D
Project contribution, exhibited at Drawing of The Year 2017 at Aarhus School of Architecture in relation to the theme “Everyday Utopia”. The drawing is a reorganized city centre of Aarhus. By translating the parametric growth pattern of plants, I have by coordinating key points and digital manipulation, redrawn Aarhus as a botanical metropolis. The growth can be ever extended and is scalable. The process of drawing began with studies of plant systems and the branching patterns during growth, then a tracing by hand on A2 with key points marked (where branches part) scanned and redrawn in Rhinoceros, reorganised flowing along curves. The cadastral and outlines of buildings are all from the “Aarhus Bymodel”. 80x80 cm
