Study for City Depressions
1969

A conceptual architectural drawing featuring two overlapping images of a perspective construction with vanishing points. The images are set against a background with hand-drawn lines and geometric calculations. Handwritten notes and calculations are scattered around the images, suggesting a work in progress or a study in perspective and design.
