4 WorkshoP NathaN Godbee
CharCoal studies
the objeCtiVe of the ProjeCts CarrieD out During WorkshoP Was to faMiliarize ourselVes With the essential Design Materials anD MeDia. first, light, shaDoW, texture anD tension Were stuDieD in CharCoal MeDiuM.

Material CalistheniCs
the seConD thing stuDieD in WorkshoP Was the state of Material ProPerties. this Was questioneD through the ProCesses of DelaMintation, Cutting, folDing, sCoring anD so on.

PhenoMenal sPaCe
the objeCtiVe of this ProjeCt Was to stuDy a sPaCe i founD PhenoMenal in one sense or another.. i founD this stairWay in the h builDing interesting for its DraMatiC anD Constantly Changing lighting ConDitions. this Was stuDieD through Pen, CharCoal, Pastel, anD Photos. a sense of blurring Was CaPtureD anD reProDuCeD to reCreate the boDily exPerienCe of the sPaCe

Material transforMation
this ProjeCt Was baseD arounD Putting a Material through a siMPle transforMatiVe ProCess anD stuDying the results. Photo, Pen anD Pastel Were useD to CaPture the burning ProCess of a MarshMalloW anD the CruMPling anD ironing ProCess of a sheet.

Material PerforManCe/ installation
this ProjeCt foCuseD on taking a Material suCh as CarDboarD, ChiPboarD or PaPer anD exPloiting it for its Material qualities. in this Case i took CarDboarD anD MaDe use of its Corrugations. after DelaMinating the CarDboarD on one siDe, it Was WraPPeD aroung axles anD barrels to Create a MaChineWork of gears, belts anD sPrings. a fraMeWork Was built out of CarDboarD anD roDs WhiCh aCteD as a truss systeM to suPPort the Parts as Well as an interaCtion With the MoVing Parts.

this ProjeCt foCuseD on the exPerienCe of a salient MoMent. stuDying anD eMPhasizing the eleMents that brought about this MoMent Were then the Design ProCess.My salient MoMetn Was looking through a WinDoW in a Dark Coffee shoP. My Design foCuses on alloWing light to enter into the sPaCe through narroW Passages to reCreate the effeCts of the WinDoW.

the Mlk Walk in sWeet auburn atlanta Was the juMPing off Point for the Design ProCess of this PProjeCt. We analyzeD the site before anD after the rally anD Chose a site for the interVention. the interVention folloWeD the ConCePt of reCreating a sense of the situation exPerienCeD in the MarCh.the aDDition of sCulPtures helPs to Create the feeling ofa n inhabiteD sPaCe. as on Passes through the tunnel, the sCulPtures allign to Create silhouettes of boDies.

PreCedent study - Carlo SCarpa - brion toMbs
this ProjeCt Was a PreCeDent stuDy of Carlo sCarPa’s brion Vega toMbs near treViso italy. in My researCh i founD that sCarPa useD a griD baseD off the nuMber eleVen to layout MuCh of his Designs. i analyzeD the Plan, eleVation, anD Details of the brion toMbs to finD Patterns anD Motifs. i sPent a long tiMe analyzing the ChaPel, to unDerstanD the Way he useD thiCk Walls anD stePs to Create illusiVe sPaCes.

this ProjeCt baseD in the atlanta botaniCal garDens is foCuseD on Creating a Personal , MeDitatiVe sPaCe. My Design is baseD arounD a roof systeM that eMulates the natural shaDe anD shelter of tree CanoPy. the offset oPenings in the roof alloW light to enter anD refleCt While sheDDing rain anD CaPturing rain Water for the green roof WhiCh sloPes out of the lanDsCaPe.
