Juan Quintero:  Arch Design I

Project 01: 

In this very first project it was my goal was to illustrate a word that was specified to me. The word that was given to me was Dynamic. In order to illustrate Dynamic I must draw something with constant change, activity, or progress. I had some ideas in mind; because there where somewhat requirements I had to come up with different sketches that would meet them. The illustration is a 13 inch by 13 grid, and its based on big, medium, and small squares that slightly shift around throughout the drawing.

Project 02:

In my second project my goal was to design a tiny house with also specific requirements. I did some research on my location, which is in Oregon state Paulina Peak to be exact. The requirements were to build on a nice sturdy surface, and the square footage were to be less than 750 feet. Paulina Peak consists of very deep drained soils that formed in alluvium derived from volcanos; also the soil is usually wet during the winter, and spring, but moist during the summer and fall. The area also contains of Mountain Hemlock trees, which seem to grow 60 feet of altitude, and 15 feet in diameter. During the summer the winds approach from the south east, while in the winter the winter  winds approach from the north west. Since the area that I chose was somewhat narrow I had to elaborate my house. The house consist of three stories.
