Focusing on the fundamentals of orthographic representations. Exploring model making, shape, light/shadow, drawing techniques, texture, and visualizing spaces. Investigating textural aspects of materials and geometries around them. The utilization of charcoal as a medium to demonstrate light/shadow effect, and other geometrical aspects. Along with exploration of existing and conceptual spaces in the forms of models and drawings.
Beginning to study the local climate and environment around us in terms of acoustics, program, vegetation, and sun path. From there, we began to develop conceptual forms that play with light/shadow and the ambience of the space in all three dimensions. Creating spaces that breathe in and out while experimenting with the tectonics in euclidean space.
A multi-family residential complex that caters to the growth of an urban farming community. The clients cater to married couples with one or two children.
The site is located in Marietta, GA. It is down the street of Marietta square and is open to the urban environment. To further enhance the complex, the site includes amenities such as; green walls, vines, garden spaces, and plenty of vegetation throughout. Therefore, creating a vibrant and scenic appearance that blends the urban fabric and the revival of the natural habitat.

- MIX-USE OFFICE COMPLEX
Utilizing the material of wood, the office complex will be composed mostly of wooden glulam members. The concept shall follow a form that expresses maximization of natural daylight and views of midtown Atlanta. In order for a column free office space, necessary bracings and structural components shall be on its exterior. The concept should facilitate the user experience as an interactive and artistic space in an urban setting. Local or existing habitats and plants should also be conserved or added on. The main goal is to experiment with the structural frameworks both logical yet expressive
SITE ANALYSIS
MASSING INTERATIONS
During my Summer of 2022, I worked as an intern at Leggy Bird Design and worked closely with interior design & owner, Victoria Lidstrom. We spent our time sketching floor plans, and elevations for a residential home in the neighborhood of Draper Lake, located in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. Along with that, we also consulted local architects & civil engineers for their feedback structurally.
