On our bike tour we drew several buildings limiting our drawings to three, five, and eight lines. The first building I drew I focused my first drawing on the two dimensional voids and solids of the building found on the façade. The second drawing I did of this building, I focused on the angled perspective of the building because it was important to show the particular location of the building in relation to the surrounding city. The third drawing, I focused on combining both the angle of the building as well as the lines that created the voids within the façade.

In the third building we visited, I focused my drawings on the angles and cuts of the building. In my first drawing, I focused on the simple overview of the corner cuts of the two relating buildings. The second drawing, I drew lines to start to connect the “cuts” of the building and show the relationship between the two buildings. The third drawing I started to show the continuation of theses lines in the façade.

Despite my struggles with the physical biking aspect of the tour, I did find the experience to be very beneficial. It was a good way of looking at architecture in a different way and to see a major part of the city in a fast and easy way.
