How much technical thought was put into its design?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mandalika Justine Roberts: Technically speaking, the machine is designed around the existing technology of cutter suction dredgers, which are capable of a scope of work from land reclamation to riverbank protection. I\u2019ve also been inspired by Dutch artist Theo Jansen\u2019s \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strandbeest.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">strandbeest<\/a>\u2019 kinetic sculptures, and blended these ideas in conjunction with the excavating mechanical \u2018arms\u2019 from the dredger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This resulted in the brutish appearance of working machinery. It has an animalistic presence, but on closer inspection, it appears robotic. Whilst the technical details are plausible, I opted to weave this hyper-engineered concept into the scavenger narrative, focusing on man and machine interacting with architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55371 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Exploded-Axonometric-635x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"635\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Exploded-Axonometric-635x1024.jpeg 635w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Exploded-Axonometric-186x300.jpeg 186w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Exploded-Axonometric-768x1239.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>What were the primary challenges of conceiving your work, from forming the idea to the actual physical process of drawing?<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Predictably, there were technical issues left, right and centre. I sat down with my grandfather, an ex-naval engineer, and the architect in me challenged him to \u2018make it work\u2019.\u00a0 He came to the conclusion this would cost too much, take too long and logistically not be fit for purpose!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understandably, this enigma took many iterations. However, all the refining and redesigning allowed me to work to a final drawing which could best summarize and showcase the complexity of the project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55528 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Suspended-In-Time-1.jpeg\" alt=\"one drawing challenge winner 2019 mandalika roberts\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Suspended-In-Time-1.jpeg 2000w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Suspended-In-Time-1-212x300.jpeg 212w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Suspended-In-Time-1-768x1086.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Suspended-In-Time-1-724x1024.jpeg 724w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>For your piece, why did you choose that specific illustration technique and format?<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to best convey a sense of the sublime narrative, I chose to shroud the drawing in atmospheric fog. At first this went against by best instincts, as I had spent a lot of time 3D modeling, rendering and drawing the composition to then obscure a lot of that work. However, I\u2019m delighted that the risk paid off. The black and white palette and framed vignette were chosen to emphasize the chiaroscuro drama.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Do you have any other work as conceptual as this?<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my work, I enjoy creating a balance between drawing fine-tuned orthographics and producing wildly unpredictable conceptual renderings. I\u2019ve also designed another series which is based on a recent natural phenomena in Thanet, UK, where drastic environmental changes had a catastrophic effect on marine life. The project is a crab-apocalypse-inspired gluttonous seafood extravaganza, where restaurant meets theatre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55526 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Machine-Study-MK-I-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2500\" height=\"3540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Machine-Study-MK-I-1.jpeg 2500w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Machine-Study-MK-I-1-212x300.jpeg 212w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Machine-Study-MK-I-1-768x1087.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Machine-Study-MK-I-1-723x1024.jpeg 723w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>What connection does the theme of your work have to you and your experience?<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this particular project I was inspired by London\u2019s Mudlarkers.

People from all walks of life would try and identify the artifacts, work out their potential value and historic symbolism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I gave it a go myself, of course, and found nothing more than a discarded supermarket trolley, a spatula and a broken clay pipe.

Granted, these are not your usual orthographics, however, the workflow was almost identical to that I use in practice. From precedents, to research, to sketching preliminary ideas; I developed a highly detailed 3D digital model from which I extracted 2D orthographics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I worked in AutoCAD to produce line weights and from the 3D model, extracted texture, tone and shadow renders. All of these layers are then pieced together in Photoshop and accentuated with photo textures for depth and atmosphere. I did, in fact, go a step further in creating this drawing by reworking in digitally drawn elements to exude the fantasy grunge effect<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55524 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Mooring-1.jpeg\" alt=\"one drawing challenge winner 2019 mandalika roberts\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Mooring-1.jpeg 2500w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Mooring-1-300x212.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Mooring-1-768x543.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Mooring-1-1024x723.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>What one tip would you give students and architects looking to win next year&#8217;s One Drawing Challenge?<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be brave and be bold with the composition. Architectural narrative can speak volumes. I sought to address the question: if this complex project had a single cover image, what would it be?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graphically speaking, the drawing doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be the whole story; it can be compelling to leave the viewer asking questions so entice them with enough to want to read on. However, questions need answers, so be ready to provide the depth of research and thought behind the visual aspect. Curiosity can be powerful. It is, after all, what drove my imagination into fabricating what lies beneath the River Thames.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55373 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Machine-A-Mechanical-Mudlark.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"9933\" height=\"7016\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>What does winning the 2019 One Drawing Challenge mean to you?<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is such a great honor to receive this.
