Perspective

This piece was a study of the diminishing size of columns in perspective as they recede into the horizon line. A grid

technique was utilized to ensure straight and to-scale lines. Although this piece appears simple, it required accuracy and patience.

Window & Door Elevations

These pieces involved the study of 2

different architectural styles found in our resources in the studio as well as an additional style found on Samford Campus. As shown, I focused on French and double-hung window styles as well as French and modern glass door styles.

This piece was my personal study of Bermudian-inspired Architecture commonly found at Alys Beach in Florida. Specific Details such as terraces, whitewashed walls, masonry detailing, and the highlighting of local as well as natural materials were noted in addition to the drawing to provide further analysis.

First CAD Elevation Materials Used

This piece involved the study of the summer kitchen structure on the Poplar Forest property. I focused on the symmetry of the West elevation so that I could learn different tools in CAD specifically the different hatching tools to add dimension and detail.
