Here are some sketches I made on our last tour sketching por la isla. This time we decided to draw from the “Tren Urbano” (San Juan’s only metro line).
inside the train car; the curved buildings of el monte housing complex (where I live); tunnel entrance; san juan’s courthouse façade detail; and grab bar detail.
rum testing laboratories’ building at san juan’s botanical gardens; and escalators atrium at centro medicos’ station.
covered platform at cupey station.
last sunday i went with my students to plaza de armas in old san juan to have them develop a few spatial / analytical drawings.
sketching this space has always proved to be a good exercise that challenge students to see beyond the ordinary in other to understand the design intentions that shape the space.
although every time I do this exercise I make a drawing to illustrate the ideas, this one has always been my favorite. I made it when I took my first design studio students back in 2002.
