Design 3: Rowhouse -The fourth project of Design 3, the class was tasked with designing a rowhosue for a chosen client. This rowhouse would be located in the Philadelphia neighborhood of Sharswood. Students chose an available lot and designed their house around the percieved wants and constraints of their clients. Finally, this rowhouse would be transformed into a playable animation.

-I chose a family of four, a mother, father, 19 month old daughter and a grandmother. This likely expaning families wants and needs were transformed into this rowhouse.

VIS 3: CABIN COMPETITION Cabin Competition

-For this project, all students enrolled in Visualization 3 competed to model, render and create a selected real cabin. This was a fast paced project, taking up three weeks split into three separate sections (modeling,rendering, media creation). The project finished with a final poster (last slide of this project).

- I chose to model Cabin 192, designed by JiA architects and situated in Panama.

Design 3: Diagramming a Community

-For this Project, the class was tasked with diagramming a neighborhood, Sharswoods. For the first couple classes, students brainstormed and researched to create a thesis of research important to the community. I chose to focus on the history of the neighborhood, past present and future, to forecast and analyze the community.

VIS 3: A SMALL SPACE -Our second Vis project of the semester, A small space was an exploration of new software. This was the first major project focused on the CAD program Rhinoceros and rendering program Enscape. This project saw the conversion of a set of plans into a 3-D building, and the use of Enscape, Photoshop, Illustrator and other media to transform the small space into a vibrant set of rendering with a purposeful artistic style.

I chose to model my Design 2 final project, a compact house design for architect Tadao Ando

DESIGN 3: COMMUNITY CENTER -For our final Design 3 Project, the class was tasked with designing a community center addition for the Sharswood neighborhood. Everything from materiality to type of structure was up to the student, however, this design had to fit with the students given thesis for the project. What would Sharswood benefit from and why? Our class was also tasked with transforming this project into a playable animation.

-My thesis designated children as the most important clients for the project, but stressed flexibility and community interaction within the interior and exterior spaces.

About the Student -Hello, my name is Jack Tarbox, I am a sophmore at Jefferson University, currently pursuing a bachelors in architecture. I have been interested in design my entire life. This interest has taken many forms, such as sketching house plans when I was five, drawing a passenger ship when I was ten, designing tanks and airplanes in high school, and creating animations of structures at twenty. My passion for design stretches farther than conventional architecture, at some point I have conceptualized and sketched everything from houses and RVs to ships and aircraft.

-I have always found technology to be by favorite means of design creation. Like many other people my age, I spent countless hours building in Minecraft. This stemmed into SketchUp and AutoCad, and since has expanded to over a dozen programs and software applications.
