Sketching Wolfson’s new building by Robert Eyles MSAI (Member of the Society of Architectural Illustrators) I was asked by the project architect, Marion Brereton, to record the construction of the new Auditorium with hand-drawn sketches to contrast and supplement the more usual photographs and webcam pictures. As snapshots they each took an hour, more or less, and were all done on site. The sketches were made at about two-week intervals, so that each view changed noticeably. Buildings usually appear to grow slowly at first, then speed up, before slowing again externally, which is when the interiors exhibit the greatest progress once the exterior envelope is ‘watertight’. The watercolour wash and pen for the earlier sketches helped to define the different elements of the building and the construction paraphernalia, the materials and finishes. The media changed for the subsequent sketches to coloured pencil and pen; and then to pen and pencil. As the building form and scale became apparent, and as the weather became colder, pencil permitted the sketches to be done more quickly. But the final view is in watercolour once more, the weather now permitting (16 May <strong>2013</strong>): the building is practically complete, but one or two clues show that it was not quite ready to ‘hand over’. The final view is reproduced on the cover. It was exhibited with the others outside the Auditorium when it was opened, and a selection follows here. Photographs of the site in January and August 2012 appeared in last year’s <strong>Record</strong> (p. 51). 48
