ARCHITECTURE The Museum of Everyday Portland
My previous “recipe” drawing, which can be read mostly as plan, needed a section drawing in order to explore my ideas about these spaces with their heights, thicknesses and relationship to the site’s quarry edge. However, it became apparent that a conventional straight cut section would kill the life in the ideas at this stage, so I imagined the route that someone might take and cut the section along this journey through the building.
This has resulted in a section where the level changes are only shown where this person had ventured Parts of it overlap where they might have got lost and doubled back on themselves, and the background elevational ideas are only present where the visitor would have passed by and caught a glimpse of them.
