skeletal letter exercise, ADI S106 Interior Design Communication. Understanding a circle as it moves in 3d space and becomes elliptical as it is rotated away from the picture plane.

“Depth Cues”, ADI S106 Interior Design Communication. the understanding a circle is applied to the drawing of the underside of the arcade at the Boston Public Library in Copley Square. Letterform exercise merges with the the drawing of the underlying geometry of the parts of the columns in the arcade.

students don’t believe that the gaps in 1/2″ resilient channel to prevent sound bridging are called “dog bones”. Resilient channel is often incorrectly hung upside down. shown is the correct orientation so that the attached gypsum board cannot pull it downward and flatten it, defeating the purpose of the break.
