Senior Capstone Project

2009-05-21T00:43:00.001-07:00

This project is for my senior capstone class. It's a "design-build" project (something we design and physically build). The class isn't strictly architecture students, but open to all majors. Too bad the architecture students are still the ones doing all the work... figures. :) So, the class is doing a project for Sunnyside Elementary School. We are proposing to build a work shop for the school's environmental teacher. These are a few renderings of ideas, using recycled doors and materials. The goal of the workshop is to add more storage for his tools, and also add a chalk board wall and a cork board wall so it could be used for teaching as well. The doors would double to close the structure and also provide shelter.

"Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter." - Jean Paul Richter

Water Library

2009-05-10T22:30:00.000-07:00

Our studio theme is a "Water Library." Each one of us had to take a stance on what exactly that is. The site is located on the South Waterfront, and we are taking into account OHSU's proposed development for the South Waterfront (the image below). Since the library is located in a medical campus, I wanted the library to relate to that. So my water library is focusing on how water relates to the human body.

Confessionals

The building was inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy..... his travels through the woods, the inferno, purgatory, and paradise was all translated architecturally.

Additive and Subtractive

2008-12-09T17:52:00.000-08:00

These series were creating "space" by either only adding shadow or only adding light. They are meant to be abstract. The ones where only light was added, I started with a piece of paper covered, heavily, in graphite powder and only used an eraser to create variation of tones. The other half is only adding graphite, without erasing anything. They were done without any intention at all, allowing the drawing to become what it wants to become. Crazy right? ha. Welcome to architecture school.

These were made before I had specific spaces designed, so they are meant to be more experiential. All done by hand..

Watercolor Studies

This assignment we looked at specific paintings done by architects, and were to replicate the style. The architect I studied was Steven Holl.. So these are my replications of his style. He did a lot of light studies, hence my light studies. :)
