Sketching : Inspired by the Architectural Building Designs at Dubai Internet City


Some of the buildings around Dubai Internet City

 Sketch #1 (Hardly sketches)

Sketch #2 (the buildings as I interpreted it to clothes)

Sketch #3 (Doodle sketches)

Earlier, I posted that I was exploring Dubai Internet City. Actually I was trying my luck by submitting my CVs, from one office to another. I was lucky to land my first interview on the same day. I have 3 hours of spare time before the interview. I decided to wait for my mom’s lunch break at a coffee shop on Dell’s building. I was sitting near the window and looking outside. Across the cafe was the IBM building. I stared at it for a while and realized that most of the building there has the same architectural structures. What I noticed about most of the buildings there are they have similar structures, rectangle or square in shape (very masculine because of the pointy edges) and the buildings are mostly made of glasses (that looks like mirrors to me). Then I took out scrap papers in my file case and took the pen mom put in my bag earlier that morning. I was happy the the ink is blue, perfect for the mirror like glasses that inspired me. I began sketching just so I can kill the boredom I was feeling while waiting in the cafe. Annnnd Voila! I know, it’s a rough ‘rough sketch’ but hey, I think I really translated those buildings into clothes. (at Dubai Internet City)
