Sectional Perspectives

Photoshop practice from Friday

Sectional Perspectives of Park Tower, credits to LTL Architects

The use of colored poche instead of the conventional black is really effective as it  contrasts very well with the rest of the drawing, making the cut portions stand out instead of getting lost in the composition. Adding a perspective beyond the cut line helps to tell the story much more clearly, as activities beyond the point of cut get revealed in one diagram.

This technique is effective showing cuts in any orientation, even in top-view. The use of both artificial and realistic images, as well as hand-constructed perspectives, adds a lot of depth in an otherwise traditional mode of representation.
