Portfolio

For my portfolio I choose to use all my work for this semester, and start a collection of small books for each semester until i graduate. I LOVE BLURB.com. Thanks Travis for introducing us.
I will only show the cover an the transition page; because you've already seen all of work my while exploring my blog...redundancy is not my style.

Ghana's Gala

Global Studios is in the process of building a school in Ghana. The 2nd year studio was given the opportunity of participating in a fundraiser event. We split in groups to tackle the work load. My group was responsible for a time line. Here are a few photos:

Spiritual Essence

Spiritual Essence is the dream of Sidney Pennix. A healing haven with treatments for cancer patients. With the same team (Ebony G. , Katherine M., and myself) began the programming process of the two buildings we've designed. Deliverables: digital presentation - one bound book (including FF&E, process work, and final presentation material) Here's what we presented on review day and following are examples of required material for the final.

Designers: Cassandra B. - Ebony G. - Katherine M.

We started with sketches!

la coupe - premier jet

Robert likes using french words to confuse us! Well, me anyway, I have to look for the definition each time. In this case, I think we're suppose to draw a section of what we'd propose for our building...which will be coming forward in our next assignment. Here's what I drew for that assignment.

la coupe - section cut
premier jet - first impulse after the discovery and analysis of the site

Communicating through Print

Each student was responsible for a 5 page layout for the book. Therefore, we divided the book in 5 chapters, communicating our fact findings of our architectural structure. Here's what my layout looked like!
