Hello,
I am Julio Luis B. Buenaventura, a first-year College of Architecture student at the University of Santo Tomas.
I am currently taking Architecture to pursue my ambitions of becoming an architect. When my eyes were opened, its focal point showed interest in anything relating to firmitas, utilitas, and venustas–architecture. Over the course of my stay in this program as a freshman, my understanding of architecture is constantly evolving. But in essence, I can define architecture as a response.
In this portfolio, I have compiled my works that reflect my experience and progress in the Architectural Graphics 02 course

REFLECTION
Architectural Graphics 02
I have always admired the practice of architecture ever since I was a young boy. The 103 Posadas, the home I live in, was designed by my very own grandfather and was the first-ever architectural structure I sighted the moment I was born It was a Mediterranean-inspired residence accented by traditional and cultural Filipino furniture and elements, making the house exotic but patriotic. My father would always tell me that during his time, when the house was newly built, it was considered modern for its time. He continues to explain that the houses surrounding the 103 Posadas would give the house a contrast due to its unique architectural design. I grew up listening to the perspective and experience of my father in the field of architecture From that moment, I pursued to have a career in architecture. My upbringing in a family of architects influenced me to make this choice.
Of course, it was not simply my upbringing that greatly influenced me to pursue architecture. It was my stay in the United Arab Emirates. I suppose the architectural economics of the United Arab Emirates allowed existing architects to share me their visions and creativity into reality. Among the architectural structures I have always adored include the Burj Khalifa and Burj-Al-Arab
They both had a common attribute of representing a national emblem or
identity of the United Arab Emirates–the Hymenocallis littoralis and Arabian sail, respectively–in a monumental form. It is something that I will pursue once I have achieved my goal of becoming an architect
Now that I am pursuing architecture, I can say that I am still too far away from my vision and ambition. However, achieving what I want takes time, progress, experience, and reflection. In the Architectural Graphics 02 course, I was allowed to further develop my creativity and skills in drafting and rendering through pen, ink, and graphite. It feels as if taking this course felt long, but looking back, it has only been 5 months I have learned a lot about how to translate plan views to elevations, sections, and perspectives. Identifying where shadows should be and how I can incorporate these drafting skills in my Architectural Design course. Not only did it teach me how to translate, but also read the architectural language in blueprints.
I would like to thank my Architectural Graphics 02 professor for making this semester a worthwhile journey. I am just so grateful for being enrolled in UST’s AG02 class which became my venue to further enhance what it takes to be an architect
