CoBIT

In this project, we were given space on campus that was being renovated and asked to create several renditions.

Audio & Visual Theater

This project was an elaboration on the previous (Experimental Music Venue).

Experimental Music Venue

​Your music venues were to focus on the use of color, light, texture, and sound.

Analog Center

In this project, we were asked to create an analog center for our campus. We were given several different constants, such as size and program. But for the most part, there was to be little to no electricity used. To account for this we installed solar panels and a water cistern. We were also tasked with optimizing the best lighting conditions within the building for reading. Lastly, we had to design an outdoor space.

Courtyard

In this project we were assigned a location and tasked with creating a courtyard deigned using the landscape and physical conditions to drive the  design. There was a large focus on the topography, weather, water, sun, and wind.

Chair Project

In this project, everyone chose a chair to deconstruct or transform. You could do this in any way you choose as long as you had a color scheme in mind. I chose my color scheme to form a painting I own.

Buildings On Campus

For this project we went around campus and photographed different buildings and conditions. We then took these images and picked one to create a relief model and the other a pencil drawing.
