21.2 (left)
This isometric view shows buildings
in less abstract terms than in Figure
21.1. Now the public monuments are
given architectural form. George
Square is at the far right. The drawing
distinguishes between monuments
and background buildings in order
to show the relationship between
the two.21.3 (opposite)
The termination of Ingram Street by
the Stirling Library (formerly the Royal
Exchange) makes a dramatic sketch.
The drawing is rendered with sunlight
on the main façade and shadows
expressing the depth of the
colonnade. Notice how the eye is
taken into the adjoining spaces by the
arcade to the right.180 Understanding architecture through drawing
