“Dis/continuous Genealogies”, Oxygen House: A Near Triptych on the Act of Breathing [1993] _ Architect: Douglas Darden.

“Oxygen House is perched on a depressed floodplain north-northwest of Frenchman’s Bend, Mississippi. The structure is designed for Burnden Abraham, an ex-train signalman, who must live in an oxygen tent. In the early Spring of 1979, after torrential rains, the railroad tracks on which Abraham worked were flooded. They were never fully repaired. That following summer during a routine operation, Abraham suffered a collapsed lung when a train jumped the track and sent metal debris puncturing his right lung. Three years later the railroad company put the property up for sale. Abraham purchased the plot where he once had worked. He requested that his house be built over the scene of his near-fatal accident. Abraham also requested that he finally be entombed in the house.”

COMPOSITE DRAWING - TEd’A ARQUITECTES

constructing a composite drawing.......mock-up of a collage of separate drawings.

“....Drawing is a matter of rigour and precision. With the drawing, the space is dimensioned and calibrated.”

Here I took a riverside view and added in part of a cathedral, a tree, the local swan sanctuary’s stairs and boathouse, as well as a passer-by’s dog. I moved the grass closer and simplified the bridge and the block of buildings to give the idea of a quaint village setting instead of a city and create a new atmosphere.

This was more of a subtle composite drawing. I moved the cathedral in the corner closer, added the bridge in the background and the tree in the right foreground, as well as simplifying the buildings, putting it into the same type of territory as the previous drawing. I chose changes to emphasise depth in the image. I like the way charcoal works in terms of texture and light.

Here I added a bridge and a flying bird to the view of a house by a lock in the river. I really liked the existing scene but felt that something was lacking in the composition on the right, wanting something that would contrast against the heavy greys in the rest of the image and to add depth. As the bridges and birds are such a prominent part of Worcester in my mind I thought that they would complement the river theme.
