an architectural doodle

It's fairly obvious that I love medieval architecture. So sometimes I make it up.

Although it should be noted that an imaginary history of this imaginary castle, were it to be written, would have to spend a lot of time on its post-medieval reconstruction: the inclined roofs and flat terraces are hardly possible prior to the baroque era and the form of the garden and its terrace suggests the influence of 18th century English garden design. The castle would probably have achieved its current form by the early 20th century. Perhaps it is now the property of a heritage trust, since it is clearly not important enough to be acquired by the state...


It was drawn with a felt marker on a standard piece of 8.5x11" printing paper. There may be a syllabus on the verso.
