Plaza Mayor, do and re-do




The first study I did on the Plaza Mayor was focused on repetition and the differences that stand out from this repetition. The repetition in the plaza created a backdrop for all of the important historical events that took place there. I wanted to express that, but I didn't really get it accross in my first iteration. The second time, I did a more analytical elevation drawing to show the repetition of lines and elements. I combined this with pictures of other historical architecture typologies to show how architecture could be used as either foreground or background to influence public opinion. Finally, I sketched the different activities within the plaza to show its current uses.
