This is a series of sketches based on the pathway between Riggs Hall and Tillman Hall on Clemson's campus. They were all very quick sketches done in around 5 minutes each. The diagram on the right shows where each view is found in the span between Riggs and Tillman, within the canopy of trees. The purpose of this sketching excercise was to capture the feel of entire space. The atmostphere changes as you continue down the path with different feelings of shelter by the trees and then more open space when you approach the space in front of the student union. Being able to quickly capture the feel of a space through sketches such as these is an important skill to have as a visual thinker and designer.

When sketching you begin to notice things about a space, that would never be seen or found important by first glance. In a sketch study of the Fluor Daniel Building, I began to learn things about the space that I never notice even though I walk by this building every day on my way to class. I spent several hours just outside observing the space, the way that it is constructed and the way that individuals move througout it.

The top sketch explores the interior of the building and the way that the bridges connect the space horizontally and vertically. This sketch also begins to show the connection between interior and exterior space through the curtain wall system.

The second space shows the connection between the arcade spaces between the new packaging science to the fluor daniel building and the way that the canopy space feels overhead.

The third sketch shows the view looking from the Flour Daniel building toward the chemistry building and Fernow Street.
