PERSPECTIVE DRAWING
My first perspec+ve drawing that I got influenced by off a picture on the internet and a:er watching self tutorials. I was very curious when I saw examples of perspec+ve drawings because of their cool way to interpret a story. The story with a start and no ending. If you were to start at the end of the road and walk the way that the pic ends in perspec+ve, you will keep on walking forever because even though the edges cut off the photo, the photo is s+ll going on in my head infinitely. One of the cool things I found out about drawing perspec+ves is that it taught me this one point perspec+ve where you start a point in the middle of the page and draw your lines outward from there. Which really allowed me to see the vision of the perspec+ve drawing beEer, instead of drawing all your lines inward, in the direc+on of the middle of the page, which was my ini+al thought and first mistake.
LAYOUT OF GLEN ABBEY GOLF COURSE
Over the last 30 years, the Glen Abbey property has come to define the character of the Oakville community. Being apart of that community and growing up in it has made glen abbey not only a golf course but also a place I can go to upliB me and enjoy the scenery. It also has a diverse past that contributes to its cultural heritage. Its lands were home to Indigenous peoples recognized under the 1763 Royal ProclamaJon. Its current form was designed in 1976 by legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus and one of my golfing idols beside Tiger Woods. Glen Abbey is one of Canada’s most famous and prisJne golf courses. The course is one of the first courses in the world built for spectators, thanks to its combined stadium design with a hub-and-spoke layout. Both design features that have influenced golf course design around the world.
My submission is a pencil sketch representaJon of the course layout.
DETAIL DRAWINGS
Combined are four detail drawings (without the 5tle blocks to fit all 4) that I’ve done on the computer over the last two years of my tech design class. The two beam details on the leB are what I did last year in tech design. The top picture is a boCom bearing of a beam that has a 2’ x 8” con5nuous wood plate bolted to a steal beam. The boCom picture is a flush bearing that uses steel joist hangers, with hangers aCached to both sides of the joist, in order to hold the 5mber joists and create more support. The two details on the right are foo5ng details that I did this year in tech design class. The top picture is the foo5ng of an interior bearing wall that has 2’ x 6” studs installed in them and a 6” x 16” con5nuous concrete foo5ng. The boCom picture is the foo5ng of a typical steel column that includes rather a much larger concrete foo5ng of 32” x 32” x 10’.
STAIR SECTION
This Stair sec,on drawing is the first thing that was taught to me about architecture technology in tech design class. I was taught that a sec,on drawing includes all the dimensions as well as labels and the ,tle block. This par,cular stair sec,on is 8’- 0 1/8” in rise and 8’-2 3⁄4” in run and only includes the first set of stairs leading up to the landing. We only did the first set of stairs so it would allow for more space to write in more notes and dimensions.
LANDSCAPE DRAWING + SITEPLAN
The first picture on the le: is a bubble diagram of my landscape plans for a building that I envisioned. The bubble diagram consists of a tennis court in the back with a pool and numerous amounts of vegeta+on such as carnivorous and deciduous trees as well as hedge bushes, black mulch, and flowering beds. The second picture is the same idea of my landscape bubble diagram but used the technology in the so:ware to add a liEle more extra things to really make it a beau+ful and inclusive space. These are the following changes I made once I started doing it on siteplan. First change I did is move the hedge bushes from the middle of the backyard to the top right which allowed a big open space in the middle for what is now 3 gazebos, barbeque, and a flower bed. Second, I replaced the tennis court with a basketball court because my friend suggested the tennis court while I was drawing my bubble diagram and I ended up switching it because I feel basketball is more inclusive as it holds up to 10 players on the court at once.

BUILDING MODEL
The building model is something I created using a combinaJon of scrap Back pieces of paper, tape, hot glue, and popsicle sJcks. The. Building idea comes from my inspiraJon of athleJcs faciliJes and commercial gyms. The boUom right pic shows the corner of the building where the rock-climbing wall is, which extends all the way up to third floor from the second. The pictures of the back show where the basketball court is on the second floor as well as the porch and benches on the first floor which are behind those three 10-inch sono tubes that I used as glue sJcks wrapped with black tape as extra stability for the floor above it.
FIRST FLOOR PLAN WORKING
My first floor working plan of a fitness facility I created. This floor plan effecJvely shows all the factors of a working style floor plan. From beam schedule to open schedule and resizing to dimensions, I officially perfected my 110’ by 73’ dream commercial gym. The plan has 3 fire exits (one North, one East, and one West) as well as every machine and a a variety of weights that you need for your workout. With an extra addiJon of the supplement store at the boUom leB and the recovery room beside the store to the right, this gym is guaranteed to have everything you need.
PRESENTATION STYLE ELEVATION
The picture to the right is a presenta,on style rear eleva,on of my building that shows the different dimensions of the heights of my walls as well as posts and the founda,on. While a presenta,on style is not my favorite style for floor plans, it most definitely is for eleva,ons. Because on presenta,on style eleva,ons you can really play with the design as well as the important notes and dimensions that go along with it. The door at the boNom right is the north fire exit, and the canopy and quoin can be found on the side and top of the walls.
PHOTOGRAPHY –POSITANO, ITALY
I visited Italy for the first ,me this past summer and it was a place I instantly fell in love with. Using a uniform, geometric composi,on and the characteris,c whitewashed stucco and ,led roofs, the architectural style of the buildings of Positano is generally described as “Italian Vernacular”. When I got there, we were told that Positano was alternately seNled by Greeks, Romans, and Pisans. It is surprising that a large number of buildings have survived intact. It is a long road full of mopeds on top of a preNy high up hill, where I took this picture on an iPhone 13 camera displaying the sun and its effect on the beau,ful city of Positano.
PHOTOGRAPHY – BASCÍLIA DE LA SAGRADA FAMÍLIA
One of my main reasons and inspira/ons to apply to architecture will have to be the Sagrada Familia In Barcelona. Over 150 years of architecture and s/ll not finished. The use of light was, in my opinion, the most cap/va/ng aspect of this architectural masterpiece. As you moved through the structure the light shiEed and changed.
11 X 17 PAPER ASSIGNMENT
My project was inspired by the NYC Transit Hub and the Calatrava Oculus that represented a bird being freed from the hands of a child. Inside the Hub, birds flew overhead, trapped. It was a strange irony. I interpreted the Hub as a spiral cocoon in which the bird flew. The process was to create a template that allowed the spiral and bird to be brought to life with a single cut. The second cut was to free the sculpture from the excess paper. The spiral, hand drawn, was painted silver to give it a lighter feel and hide the pencil marks. The bird was colored in natural hues. The sculpture was suspended from the light source, which represents the path to freedom or the ,p of the Oculus.
