Bus Stop Project

Tectonic Study

Design Principal Study

After completing the single page graphic depicting the design principle (previous page), I put my definition into practice by completing a series of models.

The terrain for this perch model is based off of a feature in Acadia National Park called Thunder Hole. This area is known for the terrific sounds and clouds of spray that occur as the tide rises. The black and white photographs on the right depict some of the views one would experience at the park. The top image directly to the right is of Thunder Hole itself. The topography for this model was taken from the model on the previous page and then flattened so that less materials would be used.

Conceptual Bridge

I began this project by experimenting in my free time with a triangle concept that I had been wanting to use.

However, school began to get overwhelming and I had to drop the project. When the schools closed (COVID), there was a period in which we were allowed to choose our own projects (as long as they were approved by the teacher), so I chose to finish this model.

Case Study Housing Project: Entenza House

This project is based on one of the houses designed and built during the Case Study Housing Project directed by the magazine Art and Architecture in order to address housing problems occurring because of, and shortly after, World War II. The house that I chose to analyse was Case Study #09: Entenza House. This particular house was designed for the editor of the magazine, who was married, but had no children, and entertained guests and coworkers quite regularly.
