Media II Exercise 2-Differentiated Luminosity Final Model

Design & Technology Workshop

Here are some images from this semesters D&T Workshop...We took a popular suburban cookie-cutter single family house plan and ultimately deconstructed it to house 3 units: studio, 1BR and 2BR

More playing when I should be working...

Media Sketches

Here's some sketches for my revised media assignment...will be fabricating the model over the weekend and should have the final goodies up by tuesday

Neil Denari HL-23 Presentation

For Media II we had to select an architect and specific project to do a quick case study on, showing select works by that architect and analysis of the selected project.

I chose a fellow Texas native Neil Denari, whose office is located in Los Angeles (also recently opened in NYC). The selected project is his currently under construction HL-23 residential tower in New York City, part of the much talked-about High Line railway conversion.

Studio Exercise 1 Final Stuff

Finally this project is at an end!!! Here is the material for our final presentation: my very roughly done presentation boards for my design and for the design revision I did to another, and full-scale detail model for my design.

Media II Exercise 2-Differentiated Luminosity First Scheme

For our second assignment in Media II, we are to create a surface and aperture system that mounts on a wall and creates intriguing shadows. This is my first scheme, to be revised. The surface form is what I want but the aperture system is far too simple.

Experience

Poster for my topic of "experience" for theory...a collection of visually stimulating architectures and environments.

Sketches for mobile unit

Some sketches from Phases 1 & 2...will have the Phase 2 final stuff up on Tuesday

Mapping the Discipline

For our first assignment in theory, we had to make a map of the discipline of architecture. Rather than focus on the discipline itself, I chose to look at the key urban issues facing our discipline. To be further developed....

Mobile Health Unit Phase 1

Heres a quick study model of my first scheme for a mobile health unit, a 3 week charette were doing to both jumpstart learning Revit and get geared up for our main project, a health facility in Ghana.
