ROMMarch 2013
Independent Project
Pencil drawing I 8” x 10”
Inspired by the Fall 2012 Drawing
Assignment from ARCH 250 displayed in
the MacDonald Harrington Building,
I decided to put my own modern twist on
the concept of a building and its context.
The ROM is a vibrantly modern addition to
a historic, monumental building. I chose
to display this by depicting the addition
in the stone, which represents the historic
piece of the composition.
Although such a modern addition
protruding from the stone should seem
out of context here, it does not due to
our preexisting understanding of the
ROM’s historic beauty, emphasized by
its dramatic addition.

The world’s most powerful weapon is

Our culture is so wired to, and feels so

these powers come?
In the end, who, or what, has the power?
