This elevation of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (formerly Victoria Terminus) in Mumbai was carried out as part of research for the forthcoming book 'Form Follows Fuel', written by Barnabas Calder and Florian Urban with myself providing research support, carrying out calculations and illustrating. The research aimed to calculate the embodied energy within fifteen buildings throughout history to provide a comparative analysis of energy used in construction in relation to fuel sources available. A digital model of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus was made, based on original drawings by Frederick William Stevens in 1878, from which the elevation drawing was created. The drawing demonstrates the level of detail the research project went into in establishing material volumes as accurately as they could be from available information. The research aims to provide quantifiable embodied energy figures against historic buildings providing comparative analysis. The process of measuring, modelling and drawing of each building was crucial to this and shows the importance architectural drawing is in this new field of architectural history.
