Board Room: Ground Floor 1939

Eggers and Higgins, Architects, made this architectural study, "Board Room: Ground Floor," on paper with graphite and watercolor. There’s a precision here, a measured approach to space and form. You can almost feel the cool detachment of the architect at work, mapping out the bones of a room. Look at how the watercolor washes gently define the planes and volumes, it's as if they're trying to evoke a mood with just a hint of color. I wonder what it's like to design a space, to imagine its possibilities. What does it feel like to make a room, thinking through every line and angle? I imagine a dialogue between the artist and the building itself, a dance of ideas and materials. I’m thinking of Agnes Martin and the way the grid can both constrain and liberate, creating a space for contemplation within its structure. Architectural drawing always involves an imagined inhabitation. Ultimately, this piece reminds us that art and architecture are intertwined, both products of human vision and imagination.
