M. Arch Portfolio

When my interest in the field of Architecture first arose, I tried to figure out if an Architecture career would truly be a passion for me or just another simple childhood dream. To broaden my knowledge of the Architecture field I enrolled at Skyline Center into the Architecture Cluster which in return fired my interest in Architecture and with time made my decision much more clear. I was set; I would pursue a master’s degree as an Architect.

At Skyline High School I was taught some of the basic techniques int he field of Architecture for example: drafting, free hand drawing, one point perspective, two point perspective, and a few other drawing methods. I was taught the importance of time management, deadlines, collaborations, presentations, quality of work and more. I became familiar with widely known architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, Le C’ourbusie and Frank Garry, all from whom I gathered feedback and inspiration. Even better, my high school senior year college course, focused in the area of design, now still provides me with immediate feedback in the architectural filed and also, even though just a little, familiarizes me with a college atmosphere.

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE 2020 WHATEVER

I plan to continue my study in Architecture even further and graduate with a master’s degree in Architecture. I want to spend time working with real architects and making contributions to the society with my work. I know that education is the only constructive path I have to take and that I have a pretty long way to go, but with hard work and dedication I will definitely get there.

An IKEA showroom is re-imagined as a home suitable for a musician. the pre-existing elements of the showroom (Totaling an area of 143 sqft.) serve as reference points for new interior and exterior spaces.

This project elaborates on the idea of “the cube” where techniques such as spatial proportions and spatial additions/subtractions are explored. Similar techniques are used in the landscape design where the architectural elements of the house are referenced.

hedges, trees, and the pool all serve as space diving elements and or as walls.
