About Me
My name is Jaden Adjei. I am a student graduating with a B.A. degree in Architecture from the University of Maryland. During my education, I refined my skillset using different techniques of traditional hand drawing and digital software to develop my design style. My design ethos focuses on fostering community by emphasizing meaningful and diverse experiences throughout the built environment. I gravitate towards design concepts such as symmetry, hierarchy, and scale to keep the people at the forefront and design for current times and generations to come

Jackson House Case Study
Jackson House
This project’s objective was to take the Jackson House in Big Sur, California and rebuild the entire model; both the exteriors and internal structural systems. Once the floorplans were complete, we rendered the final building in Enscape. This project tested my knowledge of Revit and served as the foundation in my understanding of the software

Takoma Langley
For this project, we had the opportunity to work with the Takoma Langley Crossroads Development Authority and develop concepts on re-imagining the space for local businesses and the community. My concept was for the area to allow local seating that would serve as a hub for pedestrians and potential customers. It also would allow opportunities for promotion & provide lighting at night.

HANDRAWING, MODEL MAKING
Piet Mondrian’s paintings are mainly known for using geometric forms and grid structures. This project aimed to examine a part of his famous painting “Composition II with Red, Blue, & Yellow” and reinterpret it as a 3D object. To accomplish this, diagrams were created to explore the compositional elements found in the painting. The party diagrams were then used as the basis for a 3D model.
