Mapping Savannah A dip of the toe into the vast ocean of architecture, Mapping Savannah acts as the introduction to my architectural studies by defining a place. Each map is a visual representation of personal interaction with my home town.

This project asks that on dissects and organizes geographical locations and then convey that thought process visually. Each Map is a 10x10 box with scales that vary for 1”=3000’ for the City, 1”=300’ for the Neighborhood, and 1”=30” for the Immediate Environment. An achromatic color scheme is applied to distinguish special features, population density, and public to private areas in each map.

Essence Of Hinman Finding the essence of architecture is about a keen eye and hands on investigation.

The Essence of Hinman is a freehanded formal analysis of the Hinman building that includes multiple illustrations of sections, elevations, floor plans, and an axonometric of the building.

The challenge presented in this project is to think analytically as an architect, to view structures and projects through various lens and perspectives to distinguish all components and inner workings. This project is a practice of an academic study and dissection of a subject similarly to how an individual in the medical studies the human body.

Formal Organization in Cubes This project is a formal practice and first attempt at a design problem. The cubes provide limitations in both the amount of cubes as well as how they can be added.

Cubes are added to the central 8x8 cube either as voids or solids. The objective was to create a dynamic structure that conveys the organizational concepts with little verbal explanation.

Architecture is a principle that requires one to consider and operate within a set of constraints. The cubes serve as a lesson on how architects practice designing in accordance with limitations and how to best employ and maximize the constraints.

Hinman Pavilion Creating a pavilion is about encompassing the ideas of human interaction and collaboration. A pavilion needs to embody the ideals it represents by creating an active dialogue both with the community and the location that it is situated on.

This project serves to interact with the concept of place and space to accomplish the goal of fostering a sense of both connection and individualism. The Hinman Pavilion is designed to be a juxtaposition to the practical, scientific Hinman building and the STEM campus that it is situated in by being a portal to a more fantastical place.

Design and Built Enviroment The Projects created in 1060: Introduction into Design and Built Enviroment, are untililized to encourage students to explore and master the fundamentals and basics of architectual principles, building crucial skills that every practicing architect should have in their repertoire to call upon.
