INTRODUCTION
My name is Quentin Eddings. I am a graduate of Normandy High School and soon to be graduate of the University of Missouri - Columbia Architectural studies program. For the past years of undergraduate I have adpoted a “ Form and function are one � , this qoute was made famous by Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, which is great for modern/contemporary styles. Thid style helps me to create forms that impact the people that use them. Also I design in the sustainable style as I think this style impacts the people that use the buildings I design. This portfolio showcases my work and growing abilities
