Project 1: Wall Use in a State Park

Drawings:
For the first drafts of my drawings i was really invested in the idea of a building to learn and be a part of nature in. Weather that involved being up in the trees or under the water, just some place to be almost immersed in nature. The more concrete drawings at the end of the project came up to include both of these in one but also utilizing the wall that moves and "disappears". 

Model and Sketch up:
This is where my drawings really took shape because i could see how everything coming together. I saw how everything needed to be spaced accurately and how you could have two completely different experiences in the short walk from one side to the next.

Project 02: Maison Domino

This project was based around following the 5 pillars of architecture as according to Le Corbusie. As a group we also wanted the house to be energy efficient so I wanted to use lots of natural light. I also wanted t use the creek the runs along the edge of the property as a base for the house. I also wanted to use the trees on the side of the property for shade. ​

Design Process

Final Model and Design

For my final project i kept with the curved but then I really wanted my entire building to cure with the river. The hardest part of this was trying to keep my rooms a decent and manageable size. I also had to find a way to keep the pillars I wanted out of the way yet still a part of the building and the environment.
