Sketches from Spring Break in Greece!

This sketch is of the New Museum for the Acropolis.  This building is under construction in Athens, Greece next to the Acropolis.  The structure is built on top of ancient acropolis grounds and the interior of the building pays respect to that.  The floors are partially glass that illuminates the ruins under it.  The sketch studies that connection from the old to new and how the new construction respects the old.  

This is a sketch of the Church of the Holy Disciples located in the Ancient Greek Agora.  In this drawing I wanted to look at the special axis of the church.  Also,  I started to explore the         contracting and expansion in such a small space.  The three entrances to the main hall all have different special effects that I found interesting.


This sketch was done in Santorini, Greece studying one of the many churches on the island. The thing that is most striking and noticeable about the church is the classic double crossed barrel vault and that’s what the sketch is exploring in axon, plan, and section
