Draw-It!

Task: To hand draw the plans and elevations of the Rose Seidler House and render this according to a theme chosen that represents the house.

When researching about the house, I found that Harry Seidler's parents commissioned this house. Seidler aimed to emphasise simplicity and slight childishness as his parents' son. However, there is an internal feature wall where the geomtric shapes and primary colours contrast with its organic and free flowing lines.

To emphasise minimalism, I did not draw many lines present on the given plans, such as those representing the timber plank directions. I tried to make all lines and corners very crisp.

In my renderings, I aimed to reveal the simplicity that Harry Seidler tried to convey in the Rose Seidler House.

From the Draw-It! Workshop, I have learned the significance of line weight and thickness and have developed these tecniques to communicate space, emphasis and the 'story' of a house. These drawings provide a scaled diagram for viewers to gain a comprehensive idea of the skin and external structure of the building.
