Architecture is something I have always been extremely passionate about. Even
before I knew what architecture was I was building with Legos and drawing floor plans with sidewalk chalk. Now, with two years of
architecture school under my belt, I have learned that the field of architecture is far
more complex and beautiful than just how a building looks. I believe we as architects are granted with a tremendous amount of privi-
lege and responsibility. This is a responsibil-ity that must be approached with diligence,
care, and attention to detail. Because the buildings we design are not just of a works
of art, but also, create and define culture and society.

Handheld Object
For this project, we were to analyze a handheld object of our choosing. I
chose to analyze a wine bottle opener. The analysis took place through a two part project: hand drawing and digital
drawing. My main focus was to illustrate how this tool operatated through move-
ment.
hand drawing
Once the hand drawing was completed, we were allowed the opportunity to bring it into photoshop to make adjust-ments. I chose to use a ‘glowing edges’ filter to create an inverse effect to cre-ate more contrast in the drawing.

digital drawing
This project allowed us our first opportunity to explore and develop newly learned draw-
ing techniques both digital and by hand. The digital drawings were completed using
autocad and adobe illustrator. Some of these drawings were taken into photoshop for ad-
ditional editing.
The wine bottle opener , although simple, operates through a complex arrangment of moving parts. The objective of these drawings was to analyze and illustrate the movements and how they are interrelated to the purpose of the tool: Opening a wine bottle

Mapping Project
florence, italy path selected close aerial
florence italy the capital city of the
Italian region of tuscany and of the province of
florence. It is the most populous city
in tuscany
we were told to select a mile long
path in our se-lected city. I chose
my path based upon significant
buildings and the water feature.
this is a close shot of a building along my selected path,
the basillica di san lorenzo, one of the
largest churches in florence, italy.

along the one-mile path lie five significant archi-
tectural works. this viewpoint lays
the groundwork for the analysis.
part of the spacial analysis included
the skyline at each stopping
point. each architectural work
yeilds a unique shape.
in additionn to the analysis of horizon,
the ground space was also captured at each landmark. the lesson; build-
ings create space.

facade design
once we completed the spacial analysis for our selected city, we
began designing our first model of a facade. this project was composed of two parts: a physical model and
later a digital drawing using google sketchup. This design process was interesting in that we didn’t design
then build, we designed by building. once the model was completed, we
placed it between two buildings in the city we had just analyzed in our
mapping project. This is a unique and interesting approach to design that allows you to begin thinking in
three dimensions.

my spefic design intention was to create a building not not only
immitates nature but also attempts blur the gap between indoor and
outdoor. the wooden detail on the front mocks a waterfall poor-
ing out from under the rooftop terrace. the roof detail is tilted up to allow airflow and filtered
sunlight to enter. the porches and recessed body help to erase the
line between indoors and outdoors.

after the facade project was complete and the semester ended, i de-cided to redo the proj-ect in my free time. the following in the facade of a building placed in a mountainous context. below are photos and applied filters.

music video analysis
for the first part of this project, we were to
analyze a selected music video. i conducted my alal-
ysis based upon musical elements such as percus-
sion and melody.
once the physical model was completed, i brought a picture into photoshop. After applying a ‘glowing edges’ filter, I placed my model in a space context alluding to space setting of the music video.

select diagram model
the video i se-lected is called this
binary universe by bt. the specific
frame selection was based upon percussion and
melody.
the majority of my analysis was was
spent creating a language to tran-scribe the music
and document lighting changes.
once we had a set of diagrams,
we translated them into a physi-
cal model. each of the six screen
shots translated to a unique space.

this project gave us an opportunity to create a landform on which our next project would be
designed. the final re-sult of this project was
a 30ft x 30ft undulating landmass.

planar experience
for this project, i really explored the use of planes a perfect cubes. I tried to create a feeling that the shapes were sliding past one another.
door window stair
The general idea of this project was to take an interpretaion of our smoothe
contour from the foil project, this becomes our landform or site. We were to create
three “moments” on/within/under this landform and connect them with a combi-
nation of windows, stairs, and doors.

with both my study mod-els and final, i focused on planar design. everything
is working off of 90 degree angles. each component is
noticably it’s own rather than creating just a single object.
i aimed to create a space that is very open and closed
at the same time. with the heightfield as my context, i
force the visitor to weave in and out of the landmass un-til they reach to final lookout
point that is perched at the peak of the model.

process and inspiration
before creating our final model, we engaged in intensive study model building, technical draw-ings and searching for inspiration. I took inspiration from the prairie style and created models with planar feel that attempt to blur the edge between indoor and outdoor space.

The concept of my portfolio case is
transformation. My case is to undergo a most drastic transforma-
tion being that it starts with a simple cube and falls out to reveal mini
models of each four major projects
completed.

this was our first opportunity to design on an actual site. the first part of this
project was consumed by rigorous analysis of our site. the hope is that
ideas would spawn from the site rather than design preference.

with the introduction of a new architectural
element, site, we spent a lot of time analyzing it.
we were able to make frequent site visits since
they were located on campus. before any
design decisions were made, we created many
diagrams to learn what the site was asking for.

this was our second opportunity to design on an actual site. but this
time, we only visited our site once. we relied on photographs and satelite information to make inteligent design
