House STA / Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten An Advanced computer applications in Architecture assigment, concisting in the recreation of an existing house and use computer softaware for renderings of realife materials and features. The picture above shows the present property chosen for the replication project. The house was re-design as a new two-storey wooden construction built by Dietrich Untertifaller Architects in Australia in 2020.

Lumion

Page. 4 - top right and bottom right images Revit and Lumion skills were used for these renderings to show different textures provided by the bulding being re-created. Materiality and human scale were main features from the lumion software. The use of color, furniture, textures, cars, animans, and people made the Lumion renderings very detailed and efficient.

Endscape

Page. 5 Revit and endscape skills to maximaze the rendering materials proposed for the project. Night ligthing and natural dayighting were critical aspects to make the the renderings efficient and deteiled. The addition of cars and furniture were provided for sense of scale and reality.

Transforming District Design of hARTline and Home

The Neighborhood City The Neighborhood City is a proposed project that serves as an arrival point for the Hartford community. It is a welcoming place designed to gather people in the surrounded areas through public spaces and parks. The site for the design of the project locates next to a proposed linear park, the hARTline. The hARTline is a presently proposed project to create a linear park with several nodes along its way providing vegetation, pedestrian walkways, bike friendly paths, parklets, etc. Its purpose is to make a linear path that allows connection for the community and neighborhood.

The Neighborhood Park will be a community connector offering different amenities along the way. We intent to offer a recreational community center that provides indoor and outdoor sport spaces for the young and adult with learning activities. We also offer a numerous amount of vegetation with parks and plazas to bring the community around

Developement of Traintracks along the hARTline A masterplan concept design proposed by the studio at the University of Hartford, to connect the campus with the Connecticut’s riverlink. The proposed design spaces for the master plan involved the barely used traintracks(the hARTline) and the streets parallel to the tracks(Homestead ave). The program for the tracks was to involve the development of bicycle friendly paths, green spaces, art design, sustainability, accessibility, atractions, amenities, and site design.

Section 2

The following renderings show the concept proposed for the development and design of the traintracks. The idea is to make the space along the train tracks walkable, bike-friendly, accessible, safe, community engaging, and art driven (urban graffity walls).
