Alexis Loredo : Architectural design 11

PROJECT 01: Superheroes

For this project we had to choose a historical woman, but she has to be dead in order to build her a memorial. The first woman that came to my mind was Cleopatra. 


This is a Collage based on her life. On the top center is her name in hieroglyphics, in the side is one of her quotes "I will not be triumphed over" meaning she will fight for the throne, which i put the chess piece in the middle to symbolize her taking over the throne from her brother. The bottom temple is what's supposed to be her house and the other is one of the temples that she completed because she completed temples not building from the biggening.

Site Plan

The site that I choose to put my memorial/foundation is Aswan, Egypt. I choose this spot because is on an island surrounded by lake Aswan, the lake connects with Nile River which is important to my client because she build temples by that river.

There is going to be some noise from a close by airport and a city. There are some cold winds coming from the north but there very light because the average temperature is 71.8F. Sun usually comes from the south and my site is close to to major road.

Memorial

This is a memorial that i did on Cleopatra. Is Shaped to be like an Egyptian temple, is going to look old on the outside but futuristic on the inside. 

3 concepts for the layout of my foundation. 

This are my 3 concepts they all have a same look and almost same arrangement of a village, but I still try to do something different for each one.

Exercise 
We did an exercise in class to develop more ideas. 

I came up with this arc design and I'm going to incorporate it into my design. 

2nd Nine Weeks

I decided to redesign my whole main building to something that represents my client. After I came with more ideas i made floor plans of them.
I started to develop more of the details and other stuff that I was going to incorporated. 

Then I made a model of my Site Plan, put some existing buildings and try to match the environment as much as I could.
Then later on I 3d printed my buildings and incorporated them.
The last thing was to build models of my structures.
