Josue Aguilar: Architectural Design I

​Hello. On this project 01 I've been designing a day laborer pavilion for day laborers. In this project I've made a lot of research about day laborers and centers for the best of this project (and because I knew almost nothing about day laborers/pavilions). This project took more than a month to complete.

Research

Day labor word collection

​WORK
because they work very hard for us

RESPECT
because they deserve but lack respect

HONEST
because their work is very honest and respected for certain people

Drawings and Model

I started my project with 3 simple models, I call them "plane models" and every one of them represent one word and only one of them are going to be the "base" and starting point of my final model, the day laborer pavilion. I ended up choosing the one model that represented all words as the model was Honest, Respected, and showed hard Work.

Project 2: House of a metal worker

for this part of the project, I designed my "client" (who was a metal worker) his dream house. I didn't know much about a metal worker so I did some research on his job so I could understand better and know what I'm really dealing with.

Research:

so, after I did some research and learn more about my client's life, it really helped me understand my client's job and it also did help me think about concepts and ideas for my client's "dream house". with all of this information, I've made a collage that represents my client's profession.

concepts

when I made my concepts i tried to stick with the idea of my client being a metal worker EXCEPT for the first concept in which it was a cabbing because my client, besides metal working, liked to hunt on his free time with his pet dog Jasper and he desired to live in a forest. but other than the first concept, I've made three concepts in total and only one got picked to be the dream house of my client and I was happy with the model that I've picked because I feel like it did represent the three main words that I've picked at the beginning, and it represented my client being a metal worker.

model:

I've also made a small model representing the concept that I've chosen, nothing big, just a small, simple, representative model of the concept (although I did forget to add a detail but that's fine I guess).

AutoCad final concept plans:

this is the final part of the concept of this house, showing the elevations, full interior and furniture that I recommend placing inside the house (once again, I did forget to add some minor details on the interior plan).
