trammel fossil park
-tectonics and structural relationships/details -creation of inhabited space from abstraction -group creation of visitor center and observation deck for fossil park -rhino, vray, photoshop -second year solo and group project
Following the tectonic studies of the previous project, we gathered into groups of three to create a visitor center, observation tower, and investigative/interactive space for this local fossil park. My scope in this project was the observation tower. The idea is to have a stair within a stair; a closed, claustrophobic stairwell going up to a wide open deck at the top, followed by an open air walk back down into the underground investigative space.
rendering skills
-small collection of digital and hand renderings -first and second year

Ryterna Modul Architectural Challenge 2018 - Tiny House This was a solo competition that I competed in under the Design 3.1 name. The challenge was to design a tiny house of no more than 170sf. It needed to be built using modular construction techniques and was to accommodate 1-2 people for a week or two at a time. Because it is meant to be transportable, my idea is about adaptability and dynamism of the exterior form.
