WIP 5 Plates

A few days have been spent struggling to formulate a clear drawing of the Rockefeller Re-Brief.  The explanation in text remains relatively clear I feel, even though it needs tidying.  The re-brief will be situated over the existing Rockefeller Center, which in itself has a very clear boundary. My main struggle has been to draw ways in which the Rockefeller Center can be re-briefed now, according to current social, political, climatic events, in a drawing that does not attempt to redesign Rockefeller Center as an extension of the old, but instead begins to create a dialog regarding which elements of the Center can be utilised, and perhaps exemplified in the Re-Brief.  I feel as though I need to direct any discussion on the Plates away from my novice attempt to redesign Rockefeller and more into the Fictional arena, in terms of the drawing, of a discussion around the principals of a Micro City today, and how that can influence my next task to create a first Plan of the Inverted City.  Maybe I'm reading into this a bit too much!  It's a challenging task - not least to get the image to work with my ideas.

Below is a small extract of the kind of drawing that will be shown, although it really is work in progress!  There's going to be many layers to this drawing....
