RonChamp

This sketch of RonChamp, by LeCorbusier, explores the dynamic shading that results from the buildings intricate angles .

Laying it on the line


In preparation for the creation of my Zine, I made a prototype layout exploring datums and materials. I wanted to incorporate materials applicable to my time capsule, using crinkled aluminum to mimic galvanized steel.

Timely Progress






Things are just now falling into place as I make decisions about the location, construction, and materials of my time capsule. My design focuses on the strong community within first year Interior Architecture and our reliance upon one another. The dynamic structure is composed of 55, 24 gauge galvanized steel boxes, each of which contains the drawings of one first year student. Ideally, each box will be held together using pop rivets and the structure itself will be mounted on the wall, so to appear snaking up towards the ceiling. I have little doubt that my design will take some drastic turns in the near future, and it will be interesting to see where this can go!

Time Capsule Exploration



These are drawings exploring my designs for the Environmental Design first year time capsule. They focus primarily on form and shadow, therefore allowing a better understanding of the designs, themselves.

A little shady...




These are exercises from my design visualization class. each of which gave us a chance to look at shading in a "new light."

Drawing with Shade






In my design visualization class, we are experimenting with shading techniques to transform contours into shaded, spacial forms. These techniques include crosshatching. hatching. smudging, scribbling, and dotting.
