16 x 4 x 12 HAND MADE SELF SUPPORTED SITTING HAMMOCK SWING
PERONAL PROJECT SITTING HAMMOCK SWING
PRODUCED IN RHINOCEROS
MY PERSONAL PROJECT MADE USING BASIC WOOD 2 X 4’S, 4’ X 12’ X 1/2” WOODEN SHEATHING, AND SCREWS. THIS PROJECT WAS CRAFTED BY HAND AND USING ONLY POWERED HAND SAW, POWER DRILL, WOOD STAINER, A MEASURING TAPE, AND A PECIL. THE FURNISHED AREAS OF THE PROJECT CAN BE REMOVED, CHANGED, OR THERE CAN BE ADDITIONS DEPENDING ON CURRENT USE. THE SITTING HAMMOCK IS SELF SUPPORTED BY THE FRAME OF THE PROJECT AND HYPOTHETICALLY CAN MAINTAIN A MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF 300 POUNDS.

THE MAIN DESIGN POINT OF THIS PROJECT IS THE EXTRUDED SKY LIGHTS THAT BECAME TOOLS TO CATCH LIGHT AND BRING IT WITHIN THE BUILDING. A HIGHLIGHT OF THE SKYLIGHTS IS THE MECHANICAL LOOKING DESIGN TO PORTRAY THE ILLUSION OF THEM BEING MOVABLE. THE SITE OF THIS PROJECT IS ON STEEP TOPOGRAPHY IN WHICH THE BUILDING IS EXCAVATED INTO THE MOUNTAIN. THE PHYSICAL MODEL IN THE NEXT PAGE PORTRAYS HOW THE BUILDING WOULD FIT INTO THIS TOPOGRAPHY. THE MATERIALS CHOSEN FOR THIS PROJECT WERE CONCRETE, STEEL PANELS, STEEL BEAMS, GLASS, AND VARIES METALS TO PORTRAY THE MECHANICAL LOOK.
III .RENOVATION AND ADDITION
CLUSTERING OF MASSES
PRODUCED IN RHINOCEROS
POST PRODUCED IN ILLUSTRATOR RENDERED IN ENSCAPE
THE BASIS OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO RENOVATE AND ADD TO THE EXISTING TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY ARCHITECTURE BUILDING. THE CONCEPT USED FOR THIS PROJECT WAS CLUSTERING OF MASSES TO COMBINE, CREATE, AND ADD SPACES TO THE EXISITING BUILDING. NOT ONLY DID THESE SPACES CREATE AREAS TO LEARN, TEACH, AND SHOWCASE, BUT CREATED CIRCULATION TO CONNECT EACH CORNER OF THE BUILDING TO EXPRESS THE UNITY, SHARING, AND COMMUNITY OF ARCHITECTURE. MATERIALS CHOSEN FOR THIS PROJECT CONSISTED OF THE ALREADY IN USE BEIGE BRICKS, AS WELL AS CREATING NEW SPACES USING DIFFERENT COLORED STEEL PANELS, BEAMS, AND GLASS.

IV. CULTURAL CENTER DISECTING PLANS
PRODUCED IN RHINOCEROS POST PRODUCED IN ILLUSTRATOR
THIS PROJECT WAS MADE BY CREATING SPACES FIRST, AND THEN DESIGNING ITS FORM. THE FORM WAS DISCOVERED BY DISECTING THE PLANES USEDTO CREATE ITS SPACES AND THEN ANGELING THEM OUTWARDS. THESE ANGELED PLANES ARE USED AS APATURES TO BRING IN LIGHT AS WELL AS ENTRANCES TO THE BUILDING. THIS BUILDING WAS DESIGNED TO BE A CULTURAL CENTER WHERE ALL WALKS OF LIFE CAN BE ATTRACTED TO AND BE UNIFIED AS A SINGLE COMMUNITY UNDER ONE CRAZY ROOF. THE MATERIALS USED FOR THIS PROJECT ARE CONCRETE, STEEL BEAMS, AND GLASS..
