This blog is intended to be a continuously evolving archive and record of my work as part of the Rationalist Traces M.Arch unit at the University of Dundee. Hopefully over time a coherent theme will become evident in the work posted and by the end of the year this blog will serve as an artefact in itself, showing a clear narrative and iteration in my year's work (fingers crossed). -- Gregor Tait --

X-ray / Cut-away




The completed x-ray drawing of the castle can now be used as the base for a series of cut-away drawings exploring how the individual rooms and spaces are held within the solid mass of the tower house form. 

The idea for this type of analysis came from the anatomical drawings of Andreas Vesalius, which peel back skin and muscle in order to explore how a complex arrangement of different organs and processes fit within the three dimensional structure of the human body.
