CPD - Devilish Details

We all know the devil is in the detail - the more unique and unusual we want our architecture to be, the more detail we are required to provide.

But some of us are … big picture thinkers, and even thinking about details sends us into our procrastination caves, while others can go a touch too far, providing too much information that the detail is beyond comprehension, or renders the art non-viable.

Still, in the interest of improving our skills, our production and our expertise, it is time to grab the .05’s from the drawer and bring details to the fore.

What roles do details play within our projects?

Who is looking at our details, and can they understand them?

How can we become better at drawing details?

We’re going to get a sneak peak at some fine details that show us ‘how this was detailed’.
