After the conceptual sketches are reviewed - first by the principals, then by the client - it's time to put together some proposals. If I manage to dig up any photos of my proposals, I'll add them here later.

Once a proposal is agreed upon, the designer (or his/her apprentices) begin working out some of the pragmatic details: how do you build certain shapes, what do you have to do to get approval by the local architectural review commission, pass local earthquake and energy standards...

The following are some drawings I used to present how these issues were to be addressed. The first two drawings involve solar studies; the local ordinances required energy efficient buildings.

The next two drawings are design development cartoons, detailing the bank's interior and how it's ceiling and lighting was going to work.
