Warsaw. 63rd Competition of the Circle of Architects for the Development of Ujazdów, Belweder, and Adjacent Areas. Entry No. 3. Fig. 3. Perspective view of the entire area covered by the project from a point above Czerniakowska Street at an altitude of 750 m. Sosnowski, Oskar 1880–1939, architect. Urban planning competition entry for Ujazdów Warsaw, architectural design and drawing, 1919., A flat, rectangular drawing on beige paper shows a detailed, bird's-eye architectural map of a parklike area with a network of curved and straight pathways, circular and oval open spaces, and many outlined building footprints. The drawing lines are dark gray or black and vary in thickness to depict edges and shadows; there are shaded hatching marks in darker tones within some open areas. The paper has a worn appearance with slightly darker beige margins and faint creases; the outer edges show small imperfections and a narrow darker border. The layout includes several round plazas, a few rectangular plazas, and a grouping of small building shapes with pitched roofs and domes, connected by radial avenues and smaller roads. There are a few tree-like rounded shapes near some paths and a few irregular shaded patches suggesting planted or textured areas. The overall palette consists of beige background, dark gray or black linework, and subtle darker beige shading.
