Trace Images 2D
Using our newly learned Rhino skills, we explored perspective by selecting a photo of a building facade that interested us—mine was from the Elk Grove center. From a single-point perspective view, I recreated the facade’s shape using line tools and the join command to define the overall form.

As we continued building our skills in Rhino, we learned new commands that made us more confident in navigating the program. We practiced tracing 3D images and used section cuts, elevations, and top views to better understand spatial relationships. These tools helped us develop our own version of a Paris public condenser.

Our site analysis revealed key views of the structure from passing cars, buses, trains, and pedestrians. Overlapping movement patterns and the sun chart were essential, helping us design with light and shadow in mind. Understanding the site ensures our structure responds to its environment.
Our parti diagram captures the core idea of creating a calming pause for students before entering school.
Inspired by air, land, and ocean, it guides the design toward a space that grounds, soothes, and prepares the mind—o ering stillness in contrast to daily chaos.

The Folly
Our folly project is a spatial journey designed as a transition between the train station and the campus, offering students and visitors a place to pause, reflect, and recharge.

Each zone invites people to interact, observe, and relax in ways that connect them back to nature and rhythm. The use of warm wood and natural forms emphasizes comfort, calm, and clarity amid the bustle of a parking lot. Thoughtful use of sunlight, shade, acoustic bu ering using fountains, and seating arrangements ensures each zone o ers something unique yet cohesive.
Ocean’s undulating, wave-inspired form o ers a sense of enclosure and tranquility, softening the presence of nearby vehicles and inviting a moment of calm.
