Research into drawing illustrations in relations to my project

For this section I looked at several draft/drawing illustrations in relation to my personal work from the different architectural principles and languages I chose for my project. These illustrations show form, precision, proportions in the use of the several classical features and characteristics, and geometry of the entire piece. These heavily inspired my zeal towards this project, the drawing process and the overall output.

The illustrations/drawings were derived from the book 
I quattro libri dell'architettura by Andrea Palladio.




These were perfect in showing exactly how to draw 
in all its technicalities. Elevation, floor plans, the 
philosophy behind geometry and symmetry with 
the general idea behind the language, are all exemplified. 




My personal drawing studies I made and some I imagined.
All are my drawings. 



My personal designs





The drawing illustration for the museum 
although I am not "yet" on the mastery level of Palladio,
this will suffice.

Mimar Sinan

Mimar Sinan is considered the greatest Ottoman architect with his master pieces he transformed the landscape of Istanbul as well as other Turkish cities and was responsible for over 370 structures. Sinan was considered to be the architect who pushed the dome beyond its limits making the largest dome ever seen through out the Christian and Islamic world as his genius enabled him to tackle the problems that came with construction. His work is highly influential to me because of the profusion of domes and simple but yet complex architecture.  Examples of these are the Sehzadebasi Mosque made of marble, Ashlar and Granite, and the Süleymaniye Mosque consisting of granites, marbles, limestones and others  Sehzadebasi Mosque Ariel photograph of  Süleymaniye Mosque Reference list: Britannica, (n.d.), Sinan Ottoman Architect.

Islamic Architecture

Islamic Architecture is an architectural style that pertains to the religion of Islam, which may either stem from Muslim majority countries or countries which have either been conquered or highly influenced by Islam. Its style has evolved from Ancient empires such as Mesopotamia and Rome, and from not so distant centuries, they have been influenced by Chinese and Mughal Architecture. Islamic Architecture is famous for its symmetrical silhouettes, radiant colors and rich patterns which have all been key parts of its image, since the 7th century.  Islamic Architecture is a compilation from several countries spanning across continents. There remains a consistency with its ideals and the ethos of its design and feeling it creates to the viewer. From its main association to Mosques, to other religious or secular structures such as tombs, palaces, public buildings and forts.  On this post, my main focus would be on domes and the Ottoman Empire but I will briefly expound on other cha...
