I was drawn to the way both these examples had clear materiality, and while the lighting is extremely subtle it still expresses spatial qualities and depth. Lighting is not overly exaggerated, as is often found in sections, and I find the very refreshing. I believe that it is a better representation of of the true experience of the building.
Linework:
As with Nouvel's W hotel, linework is extremely simple solid fill, separating the solid structure from the spatial voids. I find this extremely effective, as it draws the eye to the spaces, while clearly separating one space from another. In a non technical section, where experiential qualities are key, I think this may be the most effective option.
Furniture and People:
In the first image, Furniture is used to show the function and zoning of the spaces; the people also highlight the function of the space through their actions, while also illustrating scale and movement. The second image contains very little of this, and as such space zoning is unclear.
Background and Context:
The first image has clear context that flows almost seamlessly from the section; this context enhances the tone of the drawing .The second image is set on a plain black background, which while contrasting excellently with the white linework, is not as expressive and captivating as the first image.
