Scope and content
Architectural drawings on a large rolled greaseproof sheet to study the design of The Third Eye Centre in Glasgow as a side project which is directed by the tutor of the third full-time year course. This large rolled sheet consists of the architectural drawing of the building's ground floor plan in scale 1:100 showing its main functional spaces. It also consists of an enlarged part of the ground floor taken from the front side of the building with its upper floor plan, both in scale 1:50. This sheet also includes a sectional perspective in scale 1:20 taken from cash desk booking focal point looking towards its both sides to upstairs floor. This drawing consists of several human figures with humourous comments to give a sense of the real life of this social space. The rolled sheet also includes a coloured drawing of the front façade in scale 1:20, where the architect coloured this drawing from the back of the sheet.
