MARKETPLACE/ RESTAURANT                                                  PROJECT 2

For this project, my group and I went and looked back into our city of conflict, Raqqa, Iraq , to evaluate what was left. I designed a combination of a farmer’s market space with a restaurant as well as a grocery store. By combining all of these into one location, it allows for more job opportunities and a sense of community.

PRELIMINARY WORK
SKETCHES:

These are examples of my initial ideas when first given the project. I wanted to create a space to where there was opportunity for people to be able to be more independent  financially . I also tried to create a sense of community through the design by making many, normally separate buildings, into one.
IDEAS IN SKETCHUP:
This slideshow hows how I took my 3 favorite ideas and pushed them a little bit further and added more detail into them from my sketches.

FINAL MODEL
3D MODEL:

These are photos of my final 3D model. My favorite part about this was how it showed the slope of the land that I wasn't able to as well in my sketchup model
FINAL SKETCHUP MODEL:
​
This slideshow includes photos of my sketchup models. I spent most of my time on this program because it allowed me to play around with my idea and show all the detail that I had wanted to.

SCHOOL LANDSCAPING                                                             PROJECT 1

The project i designed for was one to design different aspects of a refugee camp. What I chose to design was the landscaping around the school. I wanted to be able to create a space where not only the school but the whole community could use as well.

PRELIMINARY WORK
SKETCHES/IDEAS:

​These sketches show my initial design for the landscaping around the school for the refugee camp. The first photo was my overall layout of the site including how I wanted community gardens, a soccer field, trails and even trees in there.My second photo shows my drawing for the canopy design I want to include into the design as well, this being for provided shade in the heat.
TREE RESEARCH/ SKETCHES:
​To further my research on the site, I looked up trees native to the area (Syria) and determined which ones would be most suitable to include onto the plan.

FINAL MODEL
CAD DRAWINGS:
​​
My final models were made in Auto-CAD. The first photo in the slide shows the site by itself, there were few changes made to the site from my initial design due to a change within the school's design. The second has the plan as to where the canopies are going to be placed throughout the site. The final photo is the two combined.
FINAL MODEL:

I based this model on my CAD drawings and included 3 variations of trees within it. I used my knowledge from my preliminary work as to what trees to use in it. In the top center of my final model there is a structure that's going to be used over the general eating area.
