An Architectural Satire II

Digital Architectural Illustration
sat·ire
/ˈsaˌtī(ə)r/
​
noun
  1. the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
​
The first "An Architectural Satire" piece focuses on the overall environment and the capitalism of architecture, this second addition aims to express the contradiction of architecture practice at a more personal scope. This piece reflects on the industry's sacrificing nature with long hours, work-life-off-balance, egotistic design, divisions, and seriousness. The illustration is presented falsely as a one-point perspective, which is a common representation technique used in architecture drawings, but it is actually stitched together with multiple skewed planes. This illustration is only presentable at this precise angle, which itself is a critic to the pretentiousness of architectural practice.​
