BARBARAJENRETTE ARCHITECTUREPORTFOLIO
IF I WAS TO DESCRIBE MYSELF AS A DESIGNER, I WOULD FIRST LOOK AT WHAT I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AS A STUDENT OF DESIGN. I HAVE CREATED STRONG CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS THAT HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED AS ELEGANT, BEAUTIFUL, AND INNOVATIVE. LOOKING BACK ON IT, I MISS IT BUT I LOVED EVERY MOMENT NO MATTER HOW CHALLENGING IT MAY OF S E E M E D . I’LL START AT THE BEGINNING, I WAS WIDE-EYED EYED AND OPEN TO EVERYTHING. I KNOW IT MIGHT SOUND CLICHE BUT I WAS SO EXCITED TO BE THERE. FINALLY SOMETHING I WAS EXCITED ABOUT AND COULD PUT ALL MY ATTENTION TOWARDS BECOMING A GREAT ARCHITECT. THROUGH OUT MY EDUCATION I MOTIVATED MYSELF TO TRY NEW THINGS AND TO PUSH THE ENVELOPE OF WHAT I THOUGHT ARCHITECTURE WAS. BY DOING THIS I FOUND MY WORK ETHIC AND TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS TOOK ME FAR. THIS GAVE ME THE ABILITY TO BE VERY EFFECTIVE IN PERFECTING DETAILS AND ENSURE THAT I PRESENTED A STRONG DESIGN. AS TIME WENT ON MY PASSION AND EXCITEMENT OF ARCHITECTURE GREW DEEPER. NOW BEING AWARE OF THIS PASSION I KNOW THAT I WILL BE A STUDENT OF ARCHITECTURE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, I WILL TAKE THIS MOTIVATION AND TRANSLATE IT INTO ANY OPPORTUNITY THAT IS GIVEN TO ME . I WONT LET ANYONE THAT IS WILLING TO GIVE ME A CHANCE.

THIS PROJECT WAS GIVEN TO US AS A REAL WORLD APPLICATION. WHICH ALLOWED US TO DETERMINE HOW TO INTEGRATE GOOD DESIGN WITH THE CONSTRAINTS OF BUSINESS IMPLEMENTATIONS. WE WERE GIVEN THE TASK OF DESIGNING A GREENHOUSE AND GROCERY STORE. THIS WAS TO DRIVE COMMUNITY INTEGRATION AND STRONG BUSINESS PRACTICES. I ENCOMPASSED THE ENTIRE SITE BY MOVING THE MASS TO THE CENTER AND ALLOWING INTERCHANGEABLE GREEN HOUSES. THIS CREATES AN ADAPTIVE SITE THAT WILL GROW WITH THE COMMUNITY.

THE TASK WAS GIVEN TO DEVELOP A RIPARIAN EDUCATION CENTER. THIS I FOUND WAS A CHALLENGE BECAUSE, HOW DOES ONE MAKE A RIPARIAN EDUCATION CENTER INTERESTING AND APPEALING TO A LARGE AUDIENCE. I FIRST BEGAN TO CONSIDER THE MAIN ENTRANCE THROUGH THE SITE AND THAT WAS A BIKE PATH. MANY COMMUTERS TOOK THIS PATH IN THE MORNING WHILE HEADING TO WORK AND THEN AGAIN UPON THEIR RETURN TO HOME. THIS SITE NEEDED TO FIT A LARGE DEMOGRAPHIC FROM YOUNG TO OLD, AND ANY OTHERS IN BETWEEN. I BEGAN BY CREATING AN INTERESTING THRESHOLD.

THIS PROJECT WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. I LOVED THE IDEA OF CREATING A GALLERY THAT WOULD FIT THE SITES NEEDS. I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT A FURNITURE GALLERY WOULD BE A GOOD ADDITION TO THE HAMILTION BUILDING THAT WAS ADJACENT TO THE SITE. I WANTED TO DRAW MY INSPIRATION FROM THE VERY OBJECT THAT WOULD BE DISPLAYED THERE. I WANTED TO EMULATE THE BENT WOOD EFFECT. THIS BEGAN AS A ROOF APPLICATION BUT I FOUND IT WOULD BE MORE POWERFUL AS AN INTERIOR APPLICATION. THIS WOULD DRAW PEOPLE INTO THE ARCHITECTURE TO ALLOW FOR BETTER CIRCULATION.

PHOTOGRAPHY
PHOTOGRAPHY IS JUST ANOTHER OUTLET FOR MYSELF TO CAPTURE A MOMENT OR MEMORY. I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY BECAUSE IT ALLOWS ME TO HIGHLIGHT THE BEAUTY IN ANYTHING. I PERSONALLY LOVE PHOTOGRAPHING ARCHITECTURE NEW AND OLD. IT’S A REMINDER OF WHERE I HAVE BEEN AND GIVES ME THE GOAL TO TRAVEL FURTHER.

I FIND ART TO BE A GREAT THERAPY TO ME. I ENJOY MAKING UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL PIECE. MY GOAL IS TO TRY EVERYTHING ONCE JUST TO SEE IF IT SHOULD BE ANOTHER OUTLET TO EXPRESS MYSELF. I LOVE TO CREATE SOMETHING AND TAKE THE TIME TO SEE IT COME ALIVE. I FIND THIS VERY SATISFYING IN DRAWING AND PAINTS WHICH ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE PAST TIMES.
