One of the reasons I chose the Knut Hamsun Centre as an exemplar was because of this section sketch and its effective use of colour and tones to show light and the various levels of the building. This sections shows the various architectural elements within the building including various windows that allow light into the space. This is another similar example to my underground community. The level layout and square form of the building also draws similarities to the underground community dwellings and public spaces which allow alternating levels like the ones seen below to allow for light and ventilations through the underground space.
Like the Simmons hall sketch, I will try and use the colours and tones seen within these two sketches to show the quality of the space within. These techniques should prove very effective in my sections where light, shade and the various interesting spaces will be amplified by the colouring techniques in these sections. I think I will have to experiment a lot to get the exact look I want right.
