For Norman Foster I found he had a very refined style to all of his drawings, which consists of detailed line drawings in black and white and most importantly he always shows how the spaces are intended to be used.He does this my showing the spaces filled with activities, people, and in the case of the Renault distribution center vehicles. He always manages to fill his sections with life no matter what scale or what stage of design (shown in the images below) and as such his drawings successfully portray their validity.

| Large scale drawing still showing activities |
His section clearly shows an appropriate amount of detail in the structure, even including footing types and locations, this adds to the accuracy of each drawing whilst not detracting from the quality of the image. This delicate and refined composition seems to be quite a skill and one which I will attempt to transfer to my two sections.
Whilst the section excels at portraying acivities and details it lacks in the use of colour and tone to portray light conditions and also showing the context which the building is situated. These are aspects which could be improved upon for my own sections.
