JARED COMPORA 2022
PORTFOLIO







The studio was presented a task designed to have fun and explore new techniques, but with intent. The project was centered around an abstract piece of art designed by Bradley Walker Tomlin called “Number 4”. These reproductions are all focused around manipulating the piece and its attributes to create not a brand new composition, but also not an exact copy of the original piece
We then transitioned into 3D model study, and the intent was to recreate the movement in the original piece, alluding to the many different elements acting on each other through shape, layering, and transparency.
LIGHT IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF ARCHITECTURE, AS IT CAN AFFECT THE MOOD, ATMOSPHERE, AND FUNCTIONALITY OF A SPACE. EFFECTIVE LIGHTING DESIGN CAN ENHANCE THE AESTHETICS OF A BUILDING AND AFFECT THE SPACE TO MAKE IT COMFORTABLE OR INVITING. EFFECTIVE USE OF LIGHT IN ARCHITECTURE REQUIRES CAUTIOUS CONSIDERATION OF THE LIGHT SOURCES, INTENSITY, AND DIRECTION, AS WELL AS THE MATERIALS AND SURFACES THAT IT WILL BE SHINING ON. THE MODEL WAS DESIGNED TO CUT AND CREATE NEGATIVE SPACE WITH THE LIGHT AND CREATE AN INVITING, ETHEREAL FEEL. AS THE LIGHT HITS THE OUTSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE, THE LIGHT ACTS AS NEGATIVE SPACE ON THE BASE OF THE STRUCTURE.
The site, located on the UDM campus between the Library and Architecture buildings, is underutilized and often ignored by students and faculty. This location, adjacent to meditation and prayer space for students and faculty to My goal was to create a space where individuals can find or connect with themselves, the earth, or a higher power. The location of the site, which is secluded yet easily accessible, supports the peaceful design concept.
“Space itself is not obvious, cannot objects in space; or the structural itself can only be sensed-that is, the senses, but it’s effect is upon rationalized, measured or depicted”
cannot be visually perceived; one sees only structural members that encloses the space. Space is, felt; its quality is apprehended by means of upon its emotions, and cannot be readily be depicted” –Geoffrey Scott
