Importance of the Section

A recent project in the design phase has highlighted an approach that has been slowly evolving over time at Conwell Architects. That is - the importance of the section. The section is where the qualities of the space are formed, light is curated and forms expressed. Of course, the plan is not diminished in importance, but rather attracts a different goal - efficiency. An efficient plan ensures a building flows and functions as intended with value for our client budgets.

With this in mind, we have looked to communicate the section in our projects in a consistent graphic representation. We aim to produce one simplified section of each project to compare and express architectural qualities in their context.
