I. Eagle Scout Project

In 2014, I stared my project with the preliminary design of a trail seen to the right. The trail is located at the guadalupe river state park infront of the learning center. the park asked for a trail that had the same entrence and exit but I thought that the flow of people walking in and out would cause problems so I crossed the trails so it would flow in and out easily. Since I was in a state park all of the materials had to be from Texas. The trail is filled with gravel and the surrounding area is filled with dirt from the park. The border of the trail was made of ceader poles and the border of the raised garden beds are rocks in the area.

After the first design was rejected by the park I had to redesign the new layout and widen the trail by 1 foot to acompany ADA regualtions.

The first weekend we layed out the cedar poles used from trees in the area and got the general idea of how the design I drew up would fit in this area. Following the design the cedar poles fit in the area.

After the second and third weekend we installed the rock on the outer wall for the raised garden beds and the gravel inside the trail.

After the fourth and fifth weekend we filled in the dirt from the park and finally secured the ceder poles with 2 foot rebard.

II.Negative Space

In 2016, for the final project in studio 1 we chose a plant to digram. Looking at a plant and seeing the interesting interation between the objects and the space that is left between them.

Taking the drawing of the plant and analysing the connection the steams, base and flowers we anaylsed the area of the plant that all the part interacet.

9

Taking the original design of the base plant in order to get the general out line of the plant.

Taking constrcution lines of the plant we also analyed all the cricles located with in the structure of the plant .

10

We also looked at the major horzontal line (blue) and the vertical lines(red)(left).

After analyzing the circles in the structure of the plant we too the tangent lines from the cricles of the plant(right).

11

Finally after the other steps we combined the general outline of the plant and negative spaces made between the object and the spaces. Iterating the 6 inch square area of final design and allowing a continual flow between the four best models.

III. Axonometric Drawing

Atfer examining the nine square grid we looked at the possible out come when using full and half walls.

The first plans where orthaginal and later were iterated to include curve walls and cut walls for more design posibilities. The final steps where cutting out diffrent section of the axonometric drawings and creating the carved and extruded plans.

IV. Digital Media Projects

This was my first year working with computer programs like photoshop and ilistrator. The project to the right was used to define the practice of cropping and oragnizing the pictures to create a exquisite corpes.

17

Analyzing the properties of organisation such as the secret cannon and the golden rectangle. Taking the rule of thirds and seeing how the secret cannon and golden section fit within each other. Finally finding how the types of intersections interact with each other by shading the diffent areas with diffent gray scales.

18

The purpose of this project was to plan out an urban collage to show the proportional differences between the first, second and third layers of a urban skyline.

19

The most important part of a building is the interaction with it’s surroundings. The most important surroundings being light. Using 3 diffrent places and times at which the sun rose and set I created a puzzle-like design in order to show the diffrent aspects of light in our lives.
