Description:

Work shows the ground floor plan scaled to 1:200. Details included are the location of the building with regards to the adjacent road names, various different entrances that are labelled for different usage as well as the river that it is situated next to. Created on tracing paper (printed in colour- mainly navy blue and turquoise) and then placed on top a sheet of white card, forming a sandwich with the Melemex cover. From a set of 8 sheets detailing designs/plans for a complex that includes a theatre, games area and shops. Each sheet has been created on paper, but has a Perspex/Melemex cover stapled to it, resulting in a glossy protective surface.
