Sorry to have been aloof to this thread, but I want to thank all of you for the kind words. I will post some more drawings soon!

I really admire your drawings, you are very talented. I like doing dream drawings of my house and property, but will never match you. Thank you for sharing, and it is wonderful that you really enjoy what you do.

Nice to see a classical architect on here showing his work. I'm glad there are firms out there that still do thoughtful traditional work, as my professors at University led us to believe that classical architecture is dead.

 

Lovely drawings by the way. Wish I enjoyed using trace as much as you; I just find I don't get as nice of results as I can on other papers.

Yes - what is going on in colleges! Teachers there regularly seem to come out with the most alarming piffle. One colleague of mine went to a class on a cad program she was interested in to be told that on a very high-profile Sci-Fi film recently produced in that city all the drawings were done on such-and-such a computer program, and that they were e-mailed to the workshops directly. Unfortunately for the lecturer, she had worked on that very film and new better - it was mostly designed and drawn on trace in the traditional manner.

It seems that the narrative thought suitable for the GP ('general public', of which the lecturer was, in this context, a member) is nearly always wrong.

How did I miss this thread before now?

These are amazing drawings, and I'm very inspired by them. To the point that I just spent 20 minutes looking at the websites of local art stores to see if I could find similar tracing paper (I did find the same weight in a couple of other brands, and may pick up a roll of each see how they do, given that the more expensive brand is still pretty cheap at $9 US for a roll of 12" x 50').

Are you a student at University of Miami? If so your professors should know that classical architecture is anything but dead. Miami is one of the few programs still teaching some of the lost wisdom.

No, I went to Miami Univ of Ohio. Graduated a month ago and off to graduate school at Roger Williams University for Historic Preservation.

 

I've been thinking about chaning my name here at FPN since I no longer go to Miami but I'm not sure how many problems that will cause.
