WALL SYSTEM This project was completed my first semester in architecture school at the University of Kansas. We were instructed to pick an influential architect and a single piece they had done. I chose Thom Mayne’s 41 Cooper Square. Making models with notecards lead to a decision on making a mock model mimicking the facade of the building. After looking closer to the building I chose to show some of the smaller details. Giving emphasis to the outside of my model by scoring the paper to mimic the paneling shown on the facade. In the large model I also included the detail of the windows as well as their shading systems. With the few cut outs made, more emphasis was drawn to the original details of the building.

After completing our large models, the basswood was introduced. Once I did some exploration with the wood and the paper, I finally found the solution for how I was going to weave the paper into the wood and make a structure that would stay up with no support. It was difficult to glue the wood together and not get it on the paper.In the end I was very pleased with how the wall system turned out and the complexity found in simplicity. large model facade detail shot

SENSE + MOTION This project was completed my second semester of first year. The second semester was spent learning measurements of objects, elements and rooms expanding knowledge in use of scale. This learning carried throughout the entire semester in model making, drafting, orthographics and other drawings. The sense and motion project expanded on the idea of technical drawings showing movement executed. After performing a motion we dissected the position of the body and how we could abstractly represent the motion at full.

For my model, I chose to represent the movement between my wrists to the center of my chest as well as the movement between myankles and the center of my chest.

I thought this was the best choice because it captured the essence of the motion.

I enjoyed making this model because I was able to think outside of the box. The shapes and materials I chose were with purpose. I used a contrast between materials to make it easier to see the movement that was happening.

ARCHI PODS This project was also completed my second semester of first year. This project was the start of a learning curve from abstract work to more realistic work. Being assigned the task of creating a tiny home on campus living for COVID-19 student exposures and transitions to on campus, we had to think realistically. This project allowed for more attention to scale in real spaces as we worked with objects and elements in home.

My knowledge of architectural graphics increased as I began working with software to model out my ArchiPod.

PAT TERN CAFE This project was completed the second semester of my second year.

The project goal was to abstractly represent a culture in a cafe using pattern techniques. Through second year we increased our knowledge on research, demographics, creating a concept, personas, and much more. Second year could easily be referred to as interior architecture and design boot camp. For the project I drew inspiration off of Greek culture and historical pattern designs.

My main inspiration on the design was based off of the Greek sun God “Helios”. In my designs, it was clear they were easily comparable to the likes of sun rays and all things sunny. I made a repeating floor layout that extended out from the kiosk. This project allowed us to expand our software skills as we worked in Photoshop, Illustrator, SketchUp, Revit and Enscape.
