PENCIL SKETCHES & PHYSICAL PROCESS MODELS

Exploratory lead pencil sketches for urban space analysis & design process modelling

These sketches are done on site in order to analyze public squares and street life in central Barcelona. Studying the relation between indoor and outdoor urban environments is crucial in understanding how a design affects human behavior and usage of a place. For example, the spatial qualities of vegetation, facade interface, scale, or movement patterns have great implication for how the place is perceived and responds to dimensions of public and private space. The conditions for pedestrian life in the urban landscape are of particular importance for neighborhood vitality. Studying site specific qualities through sketching have contributed to my understanding of spatial concepts. The physical models are made as part of various design projects, testing physical qualities such as light, scale and volume.
