Bryan Carrillo: Architectural Design I

Project 01: Prairie Pavilion 

We were studying about the Texas Prairie and creating a landscaped with one word that made you think of the prairie. When I see the Texas prairie, I think of the word Immense, Immense means something that's very huge which is perfect for the prairie because the Texas prairie has a lot of land. 

Research: The Texas Prairie 

Word Drawing

IMMENSE

"Extremely large or great, especially in scale or degree."

GIGANTIC 
COLOSSAL
MASSIVE 
GIANT
​TREMENDOUS

I picked immense because the Texas prairie matches that description. I wanted my word drawing to represent my word immense, so I started using big shapes and playing with the positive and negative space. I did a lot of 90-degree shapes, and I also did circles. When people see my drawing, I want them to think that this drawing has big shapes which matches my word.

I noticed that the Texas prairie has some hills and a lot of land that looks like it never ends. This helped me create ideas and connect all of the negative space in my drawing.

Parti 

Since my word was immense, I wanted to create a model that matches my word immense, I used this side of my drawing because of the size, and the shape would help me create an immense model.

Final Model and Drawings

With my final model I used a lot of the shapes that were in my word drawing, I combined my pavilion model studies to my final model because each time I had an idea, and it would be better if I put all of my ideas together at the end.

project 02: Airbnb model 

In this project we had to make an Airbnb in the Texas prairie which had to relate to our word from the first project. My word was immense so I had to make sure that my building would resemble my word a lot.

I decided to move on with this design and make it my final model.

Elevations 

This is what my model will look like from the outside, I wanted to make sure that my building was immense and do have different materials.

Final Floor Plan

For my Final Floor Plan, I decided to make my house feel like when you come in there's a lot of space inside and in each room.

Site Plan

This is where I put my model in this site plan that is supposed to be a Texas prairie. Each topographic line represents 1' gain in elevation.

Final Model

For my final model I decided to make my building look immense from the outside and from the inside.
