Scale: ¼” = 1’-0”
Objective: To design an interesting,
well conceived and spatially
satisfying townhouse for
cohabitation. This project revolves
around two people. Sheldon is a
computer programmer who enjoys
the quiet. Penny is an aspiring
actress who enjoys listening to
music and hanging out with friends.

The massing model was essential
in order to establish the spaces
for both Penny, Sheldon, and the
spaces they would share. I color
coded the spaces in order to
visualize how the spaces would
work together. (Penny’s spaces
are red, Sheldon’s spaces are
blue, shared spaces are green,
and black spaces show
circulation). This model
effectively shows how Sheldon
and Penny will be combining their
personal living spaces with shared
spaces.

Scale: ¼” = 1’-0”
Objective: Design an interesting, well conceived
façade for your “Townhouse for Cohabitation.” You
should recognize design principles as used in historical
precedents when designing the façade. You should
show your understanding of theoretical concepts of
transparency, as well as how light enters space.

PRECEDENT
SCHRODER HOUSE
GERRIT RIETVALD
UTRECHT, THE NETHERLANDS
1924
The Schroder house is arguably the only building existing today
that portrays the De Stijl movement. The De Stijl movement was
founded in The Netherlands in 1917. The movement was
influenced by Cubism. De Stijl promotes simplicity and
abstraction, as well as the use of horizontal and vertical lines in
rectangular forms. The use of the primary colors (Red, Yellow,
and Blue) are critical as well as the three primary values (Black,
White, and Grey). Symmetry is avoided.

Scale: ½” = 1’-0”
Objective: The aim of this project is to provide the
opportunity to experiment with the fine distinctions of
daylight. This will be done by utilizing and
experimenting with different types of formulation,
openings, distribution, and patterns to explore
daylight in a series of related but different rooms.

Indirect light is used to illuminate paintings,
and direct light is used to illuminate
sculptures. I used these ideas in my
museum design. I defined each of the
spaces by the use of platforms
THREE NON-PARALLEL PLANES
ARCH 141
DR. ENGLOT
FALL 2009
Materials: Foam Core, Spray Paint,
Corrugated Cardboard, Balsa Wood
Size: 8” X 8” X 8”
Objective: You will have three
planes. Each plane should be
disposed on either the X, Y, or Z axis.
The entire construction must be
contained in an imaginary cube. The
construct is to be viewed from any
direction. The visual integrity of each
plane must be maintained. Within
your project there should be at least
one defined space.
19
The objective of this project is to
create circulation around three non-
parallel planes, no matter which way
it is turned. I wanted to create
portals that allowed one to circulate
around all the planes
20
Space is clearly defined by eight
points. I needed to define each
space imagining that the eighth
point would be floating in space.

SPACE WITHIN A CUBE
ARCH 141
DR. ENGLOT
FALL 2009
Materials: Foam Core, Spray Paint,
Corrugated Cardboard
Size: 8 3/8” X 8 3/8” X 8 3/8”
Objective: Through the design process
you have developed a scheme that
communicates a specific organization
of three non-parallel planes. However
the scheme only implies the definition
of space. You are now required to
construct a cube that will act as a
container for the X, Y, and Z construct.
23
The cube needed to bring out the
important shapes of the construct to the
exterior of the cube. I wanted to portray
my defined space in the center to the
outside of each plane. I also wanted to
show the portals used throughout the
project. I wanted to keep the planes
somewhat consistent to create unity.

STRUCTURES AND VOLUMES

SPRING 2010
Materials: Balsa Wood, Chipboard,
Plywood, Mahogany, Acrylic Paint
Size: 13 ¾” X 13 ¾” X 8”
Objective: Given is a dimensional
grid, a list of structural members of
various lengths, and five layers of
defined shapes. Using a set of rules
outlined, you will express an abstract,
but ordered arrangement of spatial
volumes.

The idea I had for this
project was to base if off
of a typical indoor
playground. The term I
used to define this project
was a “Jungle Gym.” I
wanted to bring in
elements of a
playground, such as a
ball pit, tunnels, and
towers. I utilized the
shapes mandatory for the
project to form a “Jungle
Gym.”
SPACE AND COMPOSITION

PROFESSOR KELLY
SPRING 2010
Materials: Foam core, Chipboard,
Foam sheets, Spray paint
Size: 6 ¾” x 10 ¾” x 10 ¾”
Objective: To produce a three-
dimensional spatial analysis of a two-
dimensional composition; an
arrangement of three-dimensional
volumes based on the implied spatial
relationships existing in a two-
dimensional composition, a cubist or
purist painting.
Landscape with Houses at Ceret

In order to start this project, I needed
to determine which pieces would
belong on which layers. I analyzed
the painting, and determined the
layers based on shadows. The
shadows helped determine which
objects were in the foreground or
background.
35
The theme I chose was
day vs. night. Each piece
is either portrayed as
daytime or nighttime.
One plane held the day
pieces, and the other the
night pieces. The angle
of each piece was
determined by the angle
of the sun based on the
daylight of each object.

SCALE: ¼” = 1’-0”
Objective: You will design a vernacular
place for seclusion for one person; this
place may be described as a quiet place
for the observation of the inner self’ or
even a sacred place.
39
I wanted to create a theme for this
project. I decided to base if off the
famous novel, Lord of the Flies by William
Golding. This idea came to me, since we
needed a sacred place to be designed
within the limits of the project. I thought
about the book and how there was a
sacred place in the novel, which was
used for prayer and relaxation. I
designed my project around that idea. I
wanted everything placed in the project
to represent a theme in the novel.

The second space is the fire and bathing
area. This space shows the beginning of
the novel. This represents the time before
savagery. The bathing pool represents
cleanliness. The conch shell represents
power and order. The glasses show
rationality. The signal fire is the connection
to civilization.
The first space you enter would be “The
Scar.” The Scar is black in order to
foreshadow that death is to come. This is
the only way into the so called “Island.”
There is no other way out. You are now
secluded from the outside world.
The final space is known as “The Clearing.”
It starts out as a sacred area for the
character Simon, but become a
representation of evil. The “Lord of the
Flies” is placed in the center and represents
Beelzebub or the Devil. This is the final
stage of the novel, it represents the “Loss of
Innocence” and the “Darkness of Man’s
Heart.”
