Will’s Bar pro­ject, Dra­wing (what I re­mem­ber of it)

Bri­tish archi­tect, Will Al­sop, of­fe­red a vi­brant lec­ture at the Ca­na­dian Cen­tre for Archi­tec­ture in Montréal, pre­sen­ting his de­sign pro­cess and a va­riety of crea­tive works (sho­wing every­ting from con­cep­tual mo­dels to pain­tings, dra­wings, pho­to­graphs and di­verse ani­ma­tions). Here is one dra­wing for the Will’s Bar pro­ject that ex­plo­res the idea of crea­ting an unu­sual buil­ding to at­tract peo­ple; to make them cu­rious about the space.

The exhi­bi­tion Will Al­sop: OCAD, An Ur­ban Ma­ni­festo will be, fea­tu­res Will Alsop’s pre­pa­ra­tory work for the Sharp Cen­tre for De­sign at the On­ta­rio Co­llege of Art & De­sign (OCAD) in To­ronto and re­veals spe­ci­fi­cally the role of pain­ting in his de­sign process.
