FUNERARY CHAPEL

FALL 2023 STUDIO 1 NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY

03 My first semester in graduate school at North Carolina State University we were tasked with designing a Funerary Chapel in the predominately Arfrican American Mount Hope Cemetary. The program consited of support spaces, a chapel to seat 60 people, outdoor gathering space and a memorial garden.

A competition was given as my final design project before graduating with my associates at Wake Technical Community College, with the goal of designing a space consisting of all the elements the program issued within the parameters of the site provided. The rendered site is the provided plan, with no indication of location and no sense of the surrounding environment. This is why I depicted the exterior in a more ambiguous manner, leaving the exterior finish/facade to be determined by the surrounding environment and one's own interpretation.

The programming with the required spaces had been provided, but not their sizes, leaving me with the problem of creating the footprint of the building I had in mind. I then divided the spaces based on the area indicated by the floor plans. After which, I designed the interior space not only to meet code but also to be easily navigable and to separate the spaces in an organized manner.

FARNSWORTH HOUSE SPRING 2020 The Farnsworth House is an iconic design that addresses the question, "What is modern design?"

This project was also used as an introduction to the Revit program. Using only a few of the program's many features, this design was able to provide the foundation for learning how to use floor and roof systems. Curtain walls, a difficult aspect of Revit to learn, were taught in this house.

In addition, structural columns, isolated footings, stairs, and how to manipulate them from the basic families within the program were covered. We were also able to investigate components ranging from kitchen appliances to furniture, as well as how to model in place components such as those seen in the cabinets above the fireplace. This project provided me with the motivation I needed to become as proficient in Revit as I am today.

INTRO TO REVIT WAKE TECHNICAL

11 Revit is an extremely powerful and useful tool in Architecture.

This project helped me develop my understanding of it. This small office building was the second project that fueled my knowledge of creating plans and documents. Though this project is more technical, it was the foundation for the many projects that came after. The foundation that taught how to create levels, a site, ramps, and many more essential components of architectural design. This office building more focused on the details and how to efficiently present a plan that can illustrate the desired outcome and a finished built structure.

FOUNDATION

LIGHT CONSTRUCTION WAKE TECHNICAL

MAIN FLOOR

13 During my time at Wake Technical Community College, and the development of my technical drawings, we began to learn about light construction, steel beams, light weight concrete over metal decking, construction of building without wood members. This project was the case study as we moved through the course. Creating each new component of the bookstore on Wake Tech’s campus as it was taught in class. We were given the original plans for this building to recreate and learn all the elements that go into a commercial building. This project furthered my understanding of reading and creating plans, through the many long nights and hours spent tying to understand how everything was to fit together.
