axo- is this readable?

  1. i like it! i think it's readable, it's just a very complicated building which takes a bit to get the head around. I think it would look good if you had it opposite a render (of the same view) on a double spread. ie. render on one page and axo on the facing page. that would look really good and would be very clear what's going on

  2. yeah sweet good idea, i did try the actual exploded axo rendered but i didn;t think you could read enough, but yeah i will get around to doing a render and make it a little easier to understand.

  3. or even some colour might make it a bit easier to understand? lightly shade in a random colour for each thing you're showing, then it will be easy to see where exactly it goes in the little perspective on the top left?
    or not..

  4. Yeah I agree with the above comments, give the rendered view a go, one thing though, you could maybe even simplify it a little? just things like the ramp handrails mightn't be necessary? But i guess it just depends if you want to go for a complete axo showing all the details, or if it is going to be somewhat more diagramatic. but yeah anyway i think its a really clear and good idea!

  5. hi evie - lovely drawing - i think you could make it work harder for you - what other things might it communicate? you could do another set of drawings that go with it (as separate "descriptors") that explain things such as circulation paths / public vs. private areas / anything particular to your position statement and concept / etc. - this will help guide the viewer as to how to read the drawing - as well as explaining your ideas.
