Ken'Niya Dennard's Undergraduate Architectural Portfolio

ARCHITECTURAL PORTFOLIO Ken’Niya Dennard 2023-2024

You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.”George Bernard Shaw The following is a carefully curated selection of my personal architectural works from 2021-2024. These are more than just buildings just as architecture is more than just constructions.

Architecture is art, and just as such, this is my artwork. These buildings embody my design language as an architect and serve as a piece of me.

Going forward, please enjoy this journey through my artistic career.
