Choose any corner of the façade, then zoom in, in, and in. This measured drawing shows about 4000-6000 bricks, none is the same. It is the elevation of St Mark's Hamilton Terrace, a Gothic Revival building in London, which was damaged by fire in 2023. With most plaster on its wall removed, the bricks, seepage, and traces of alteration were exposed. 21 x 102.5mm London Stock Bricks comprise the wall's main structure. The "surfaces, blemishes and undulations" of every brick are recorded in detail. The site was inaccessible because of its structural instability. However, by using photos taken before the fire, video clips by archaeologists and drone images as references, I was able to sketch and record the existing ruins. After consulting specialists, I drew a line elevation with the Rhinoceros and printed it on an A0 sheet. Then I used fine pens and mechanic pencils to draw over it to give a texture. Four weeks or 150 hours of work were spent to achieve a photo-like texture. This drawing was drawn during my Y3 studies at Kingston University London. It was a finalist in the Student Hand Delineation group of the Ken Roberts Memorial Delineation Competition 2024.
