I. Viscom

In an attempt to better introduce us to rhino we were tasked with choosing a complex object of our liking and creating a diagrammatic step by step process of its creation.

To further develop our photoshop skills we were tasked with finding a piece by sculptor David Umemoto and combining it with a scene from Bladerunner 2049 to evoke a feeling similar to the original scene.

As one of the first assignments, the goal was to get us acquainted with photoshop. We used a store front and changed the interior to whatever we wished to show off our skills.

II. Studio

For the first project of the semester we built a structure that would house kayaks and serve as a shelter to them from the elements. The structure was designed to direct any water that landed on its roof towards two rain gardens designed for water drainage.

A building in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood that serves as an annex to the National Museum of Mexican Art (NMMA). The building is equiped with modular flex space for art exhibitions for the pieces that are salvaged. Its main feature is a series of four light wells that pierce through the heat of the building and end off on multiple floors as to maximize natural lighting and minimize artificial lighting.
