Site 1 : Canal, Mile End (Part 1)

Quick sketches on site
Looking into the history of the area also helped to unlock certain key aspects of the area. Present and past would differentiated in terms of both the physicality and the social pattern of the community within the site. 
The detailed mapping of the site was scaled up to a general overview of the Regent's Canal(from the site to 1.5km to the north of the canal). The purpose was to figure out the whole social pattern and places of interest along the canal.

Look at the work of the great architect draughtsmen and you will see that a finely crafted line drawing stands the test of time. They are a measure of the care that the architect feels for the commission. The drawings of Vilhelm Wohlert, no matter how sketchy or tentative, show extraordinary sensitivity in composition, weight of line and detail. Sadly, pencil and paper no longer centre in the creative act. Today’s designers often appear detached from the drawing process and it shows.
