In this class each lecture I followed principles in Architecture from the book, The Language of Architecture: 26 Principles Every Architect should know. And from this, I made an Art Book showing the different priciples from work that we did in the class.

The “Book� was supposed to be an untraditional book using the principles as guides to make the book itself.

For this project I made a box with three compartments to hold the book. In each of the compartment, there is a accordian style pamphlet that has a principle on each folded page. The principles are shown through drawings, pictures, and other representations from assignments in the class as well as projects and drawings from other lasses

In this project, I along with two of my classmates, Sam Amick and Thomas Bordeaux, created representaions of the Domus Museum using Rhino. In this class, Media and Modeling I, we were taught the basics of the software Rhino where every week we would learn new commands and functions that we used to create short assignments. For this project, we found drawings of our study and then recreated them. From those initial drawings we extruded those drawings and made a model of the museum. This project is supposed to show the the 2-D and 3-D representations of the building as well as show the construction elements through an exploded axon.

Similarly to the Domus Museum Study, from Media and Modeling I, for this project we recreated a model of the building using the Rhino extension, Grasshopper.

In Media and Modeling II, we followed tutorials each week where we learned how to construct things in Rhino using Grasshopper. In this project, I worked with a classmate, Noelle Rayment-Cruz, to recreate the Absolute Towers. In Grasshopper when making the model, we made the tower by the floor slabs and had the interior glazing based off those slabs. After recreating the tower, we also mad a variation in the composition changing the shape of the floor slabs, the height of the buildings, and the points of rotation on the building. Along with the 3D models we also created diagrams showing the rotation of the building as it progresses upward.

In this project I was given a set of 9 boxes of different sizes and with them I had to create a system of combining them through functions of addition and subtraction. We had to make 2 sets of these systems with the second being a variation of the first. For the first composition of boxes I used primarily addition with the exception of one cube that I used to subtract from the largesr cube to allow enough space for the other cubes. With those other cubes I added them together in a stepping motion, having the smallest cubes start at the bottom and then as the cubes progress upwards, getting larger as they went up.

For the second composition, we were alowed to add rotoation to our cubes. So for this I used more subtraction functions than the first, where every time that I rotated a cube I subtracted to allow apertures to open up the space.

In this project, we were set to create a building where the spaces were controlled by light. There needed to be a space for sleeping, working, and eating. Each of these spaces need different lighting at different times of the day. In the back room there is light that filters in during the morning. At during sunset Throughout the day, light comes in the main space, through the fins where there is a table for both working and eating.

The idea for this space was for soft light to come in so a person could work throughout the whole of the day.

Being in our first year studio we learned how to draft plans, sections, and perspective drawings. From those drawings I then created a foamcore model and made lighting studies showing the light at the different times of the day.

For this project we looked at creating an infill project on Georgia Tech’s campus where we could create a space for people to study. I was assigned to make a study carrel off of SKILES West facing facade.

Having classes in SKILES I had an understanding of the strengths of the building as well as what could be improved.Currently the circulation at SKILES is not ideal, where it doesn’t connect to the courtyard, arguably the nicest part of SKILES. For this carrel, I not only wanted to create a space for people to study but also an alternate way for people to circulate throughout the SKILES courtyard. For that reason there are two different types of circulation. One that is a for regular circulation, for people going to their classes, and another for a slower circulation on the larger steps where people can sit on the stair and just enjoy being inside the courtyard. The actual study carrel, at the top of the stairs, is located futhest in the courtyard.

From the formal design project, I was given a clasemates composition to work with and create a pavillion by using different commands in Rhino. The commands were: Boolean, chamfer edge, scale, shear, and rotate and with these I applied it 5 times to the initial composition to find what elements I could use to make a pavillion. From those elements I did more iterations using multiple commands rather than just one to create the pavillion. Looking at the initial compositon and seeing where my classmate put their cubes, I wanted to create a promenade throught the pavillion where people would walk around the cubes in a winding motion.

For this project we went to a neighborhood in downtown Atlanta called Castleberry Hill where we had were assigned a plot of land to make a studio/living space for two artists. The two artists I chose were a glassblower and studio photographer. Looking at castleberry hill, I saw that there wasn’t places for people to congregate together. The aim with chosing a glassblower and a studio photographer is to draw people in to the space. Often at amusement parks, glassblowers have studios where people can watch them make glass as well as have people make glass themselves. The photo studio, being in the age of social media, can also draw people in as people love to take pictures. When designing the space, I had a plaza leading up to the building also drawing people into the space. Along with our builidng for the artist we had to propose an additional massing that would also be in the plot given. With the initial building, I had the exterior wall move in a winding motion going from one side to the other, and with additional massing, I connected the winding motion from the initial to the new massing.

For this project, I worked with Jared Abrahamian where we were assigned to first study Celtic Knotwork that we would later use for our building. Looking at 2 pages from the Lindisfarne Gospels we contructed the different knotworks and broke them down to their simplest form to learn how to make celtic knots of our own. When we made our own configurations, we then made them into two sheets that could be used for the structure of our building. Then when we had the sheet we pulled, cut, and moved them to create a variation of spaces. From this point we were given our site and program for the building. In the heart of Chicago, we were told that the program had to be a club for a group of people. Because of the close proximity of design colleges we thought that we should make an inventors club. In this club there would be machines that people do not have access to, machines like laser cutters, 3D printers, and other expensive machinery.

Along with workshops, there will also be studio spaces where people can work on their projects, galleries to show off the work, collaboration spaces, and research libraries. The building also has wellness functions, such as a Cafe, a gym, hotel rooms, and coffee shops.

Looking back at our initial sheets and how we used them, we took what we liked but then made a stonger process and established a set of rules to guide the structure and overall shape of the building.

We started with four screens and rotated the inner two clockwise to allow for more light to filter into our building from the south west, as the surrounding buildings north and east of the site block the sunlight.

To allow for more varitation in spaces, we cut and pulled the interior screens and then applied our knotwork to the screen. To create apertures we had rules that we applied to the knots using a method similar to Conways Book of Life, where our knots when becoming too populated would die off and create openings. When we had the all of the knotwork applied with the rules and thickened them, we added floor slabs, the facades, circulation cores, and the other architectural elements. From this point, we then created visual representations.

These are the initial studies and research of the Celtic knotwork, the top showing the contruction and break down of the knots studied in the lindisfarne gospels. Below are the configurations and sheets that we made based off of the research done on the top. And finally there is a diagram showing the iterations of the sheets being cut and pulled.

For this project, using only concrete, we were assigned to make a pavillion in a park. Looking at the Church of Lalibella as a precedent, I wanted to place the pavillion in the ground in a similar style. After designing the pavillion, I then made a two sets of sections and plans, one that shows the whole of the pavillion and the others that are a more detailed plan and section, zooming in to show the construction details of the pavilillon.

For this project, we were assigned to make a bus stop on the Georgia Tech campus. Using frame construction, I wanted to create a bus stop that was more simple to showcase the steel frame system as well as the corten steel plating. To allow for more light, each of the I-beams are separated to allow for a unique lighting and shading condition.
