3D Modeling and
Animation: I have
explored the
innovative
technique of 3d
modeling. It has
drastically
enhanced the
possibility and
growth of
Architecture and
Design. Living in a
world of cutting
edge technology
the idea of hyper-
realistic forms and
surfaces become
possible with the aid
of CAD. In this case I
have used
programs such as
PhotoShop, Rhino
4.0, and Vray.

This case study assessed my skill
level on representation and
communication with CAD. I
was given the opportunity to
use AutoCad, Rhino 4.0,
Sketchup, Photoshop, 3ds max,
Vray , an Illustrator. This
semester long project would
reveal my level of expertise
with the implementation of my
personal style. This extensive
process included in-class
critiques, multiple drafts/layout
designs, editing and
development which would
ultimately result in a final
presentation.

Rhino 4.0 (3D Modeling) The Essentials I took an additional digital modeling class to expand and
perfect my digital modeling skills. This will increase my
ability in designing dynamic architectural forms and
surfaces. By having this knowledge I can apply this to contemporary architectural design that will be present in
my graduate studies.

For the past several
months I have been
interning for a
jewelry designer,
Porter Lyons. Each
piece was designed
using Rhino 4.0.
These pieces will be
mass produced and
sold through Porter
Lyons. This is
evidence that my
investigative and
extended
knowledge of 3d
modeling can be
applied to product
design. Architecture
has provided me
with the proper skills
to effectively come
up with design
solutions.

Work/Live : Magazine St. Infill Project Presented with the challenge of designing a space that would cater to
an architect that lives and works in the same place. The program would
accommodate a full service architecture office on the first floor, and a
residence the would accommodate a family of 3 on the second floor.
My final solution would echo the symbolism of boundaries, and
manifest itself into physical minimalistic form.

2001: Writing Space Project: Walden Pond Concord, MA Intial research derived from reading Walden by Henry David
Thoreau. This writing space was designed with the conceptual idea
of ingesting nature. This is represented in the floor to ceiling glazing.
While taking in the lush surrounding the writer would intuitively project
his ideas upon the radiating landscape. Creating a organic
interaction.

Continuing The Pattern: My conceptual
design revolves around the natural and
physical patterns on and around the
Immediate site. The elongated striations
that run along the Shaw Center and
along the ground evoke a strong sense
of movement in the downtown area.
The impact of a contemporary pavilion
within this context follows the progressive
patterns of Downtown Baton Rouge ,
creating a perfect experience for a
digital arts venue.

2001:Pottery Studio: Additive Project Initially, I was provided with a formal site(white form core), and was allowed to add
upon it(chipboard and basswood). Program space of the pottery studio would
accommodate storage space, a pottery wheel, a work station, and protection from the
natural elements. Sustainable design techniques were implemented into the overall
design. My design solution includes a open floor plan, louvers, a window for cross
ventilation, and a striated screen that reduces heat gain. Ultimately, my design creates
a comfortable environment while the writer can still enjoy nature.

Art Gallery: Subtractive Project This project started with rectangular box (white foam core) in which I
was allowed to subtract from (chipboard).Gallery space would
accommodate ,1-2 people at a time.The dramatic sculpted interior
adds to the allure of the Chihuly glass vase. My solution depicts a
minimal angular exterior form that is a directly related to the dramatic
interior. The interior walkway leads to a spiral staircase that wraps
around the glass vase. The usage of the stairs are merely for
admiration of the art.

Arch 1001-1002:
Interlocking Spatial
Composition
1st year studio involved
a series of design projects that were
centered around
capturing and defining
space. The articulation
of space is highly
dependent on
perception along with
physical manifestations.
In my various design
solutions, shifting and
intersecting planes are formed by subtractive
and addictive
techniques. Space is
formed by the delicate
measure of
juxtaposition of different
material , light and
proportion.
