Whitbybird - graphic analysisBook 1

This is a collection of graphic illustration in context of Whitbybird engineering design. A cross section of work produced during the past couple of years, this is by no means a complete collection of drawings available. Rich in information the primary aim of these drawings is to convey smart engineering solutions devised by the practice. The idea is to attract the viewer while imparting technical information and concepts at a level which is clear and understandable to a non engineering brain. A unique and successful selling point for the company.

That's enough words, more pictures.

Homerton College

Two buildings under a single roof canopy and separated by an internal 'street' area (atrium). The faculty of education provides inspirational space for learning. Key to this structure is prefabricated larch frames assembled on site.
