We ♥ Exploded Axonometric Architectural Drawings
Tuesday, March 29th, 2011
Healthy Fit Water Bottle Wall Axon
I’ve always been a huge fan of Exploded Axonometric Drawings. Posting the Middlesex Lounge Axon got me all nostalgic. Axons are a great way to explain how your design pieces together, and to visualize the individual components of your project. Here are a few others that I have worked in the past.
The image to the right was for a gym in Woburn, MA… The axon helped us explain how a wall that separates the entry from the gym fits into the overall space. By pulling apart the wall, we get a sense for how it fits both in plan and perspective.
Harbor Islands Pavillion Exploded Axon
Sometimes, axons go beyond building components to explain how things actually function. The drawing to the left shows how a design for the Harbor Islands Pavilion can collect water runoff into a pool at the front of the structure.
Below, we again pull the roof off, displaying the circulation through the building. Diagrams like these can become invaluable for giving quick insight into your design thinking. Being able to quickly get your point across is always key to a successful presentation.
Norwalk Housing Exploded Axon
Finally, I have included axons for a housing complex design in Norwalk, CT. The parking garage drawing was useful in showing that something even as mundane as parking was thoughtfully considered and integrated into the landscape. The building axon shows how the floor plates, skin and roof structure work together to create the overall mass.
Remember to always include your process in website materials, as you are not always simply being judged by your completed work, but by how well you communicate your ideas!
