V.U. - Community College Projects

Hard work and dedication to the Architec-tural Studies program at V.U. set a strong foundation for my architectural skill set.

The design projects shown were of con-ceptual content to learn the basics of design elements and techniques.

The top left pictures are from the “9-cube” project that is common practice to many architecture programs.

The next picture is of a hand-cut model for a theoretical wilderness retreat home.

The eleThe elevations to the left are projections from a famous floor plan (by Richard Neutra) in which we were to draw our own elevations from the given plan.

To the right is a hand drawn image of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Dana Thomas house.

The mission statement of the business plan for this project was to research the ergonomic balance between modern men and women and design solu-tions for furnishing prod-ucts.

The structural column grid was used with a modular approach to design the parti and floor plan for the building. Bubble diagrams and a facility program were also incorporated into this project.project.

The design of this building re-volved around materializing a conceptual image of music and a single spherical sound wave. The floor and site plans were derived by radially revolving the contours around a treble cleft symbol.symbol.

“Music is liquid Architecture; Ar-chitecture is frozen music.” - Johann Wolfgang. This quote was kept in mind as a verbal parti for the design of this per-forming arts center

Credits for this group project go to Hunter Wilson, Garrett Israel, Chong Min Jeong, and Thaddeus Andry. My own contribution includ-ed the development of the master plan, setting the context area, design of the overall concept, 3d-modeling, and rendering the 3d-modeling, and rendering the final production visualizations.

Our concept for this project was “An Artistic Voyage of Shipping Cul-ture.” Structurally, we imitated the levels of a ship with the multi-lev-eled theme. The goal was to cul-turally stitch together the two sides of the Anacostia river in Washington D.C.
