Building Analysis The objective of this project was to reasearch a chapel and study its facade. I was assigned the Seashore Chapel by Vector Architects in China. The chapel sits on the shoreline of the Bohai Sea, just east of Beijing.

Below: The drawing to the bottom left of the page depicts where the chapel is situated on the beach in perspective to the town of Beidaihe. It shows numerous buildings along with the countour of the surrounding ground.

Building Analysis

Left and Last Page: The images to the left and on the previous page were taken of a 3D model constructed out of three different materials. The base, made to represent the beach, was made out of cardboard, the foundation was made out of a stronger wood, and the structure was made out of white museum board to represent the white color of the chapel. The model exemplifies the main, key facade features that make the building unique. The images are taken with a light shining on the front as if the sun was rising.

Right: The drawing to the right is a line drawing of the northeast view.

This was done by making a 3D model in Rhino and exporting as a make2d to Adobe Illustrator.

Building Analysis Left: To the left is a collection of different hand drawings. There is a first floor plan, second floor plan, south facing facade plan, east facing facade plan, and a section cut from north to south looking into the building from the west. These drawn plans were used in making both the 3D Rhino model as well as the 3D physical model.

Boolean Operations

The boolean operations project was to familiarize ourself with and get comfortable using the boolean operations command, especially the boolean delete command. A design was to be constructed by a large block by cutting away using boolean delete. Here is shown the final design (top left), along with a make2D drawing with hidden lines on (right) and a ghosted view from Rhino (bottom left).

Boolean Operations Right: To the right is the final design in rendered form. This view is eye level looking at the northern enterance. Shadows were turned on and human figures were added to give the structure a more realistic look and show how it may be used.

Left: The diagram to the left shows two section cuts of the final design. The first cut seperates the east from west side, while the second cut seperates the top from bottom.

The cut surfaces were then hatched with orange lines to highlight the surfaces that were split. This was done to get a good view and understanding of how the interior area would be used.

05

Design Workshop For the design workshop, we were assigned with constructing an outdoor, open air structurein the area behind the Cooper Library on Clemson’s main campus. The structure had to meet Covid guidelines while being able to serve as a study space.

Right: To the right is an axonmetric view of my final project. The structure of the building is made up of many two foot by two foot open cubes, as shown below. This allowed for the open air to be carried through and a safe study space for students.

Left: The diagram to the left shows how exactly each cube is constructed and eventually stacked on top of each other.

Design Workshop Below: The drawing to the bottom right is a roof plan of the structure sitting on the site.

Above: The image to the top left is a floor plan of the structure sitting on the site.

Design Workshop

Left: To the left is a social distancing diagram for the site.

The blue circles represent the shortest distance one can be from another: six feet. The max copacity is also recorded by this diagram.

Right: To the right is a rendered view looking at the south enterance of the structure.

08

Masonry

Right: For our most recent project, we selected a facade of a structure that used masonry for the design.

We then made a 3D model of the chosen facade to understand how bricks can get stacked in certain ways to make a design in the wall.
