ARC 181
Fall 2020 Professor Valeria Herrera Exploration of object and environment through physical representation techniques. Studies focused on form, light, and perspective.
2
TWO-POINT PERSPECTIVE STUDY Utilized skills from one-point and two-point perspective studies to create an intercross twopoint perspective drawing.
3
COLLAGE
Utilized skilles developed from shading excersizes to create an eight-toned collage.
4
OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
Small-scale study sketches using density of a single line to emphasize light and shadow.
5
SELF-PORTRAIT
Self -portrait using the exploration of color and space to portray shadow and highlights. 6
ARC 182
Spring 2021 Professor Joel Kerner Development of representational skills using digital software. Studies explored representational methods in relation to space and form.
7
FIGURES AND FIELDS
Used basic underlay of letters and shapes to create an abstract floor plan with geometric logic.
8
OBJECTS AND TAXONOMIES Representation of a figure through serial sectioning.
9
CONTEXT AND ATMOSPHERE
Digital drawing using concepts from our exploration of porous forms and graphic fields to create an environment for entourage. 10
PROTO ARCHITECTURE
Porous form created using stereotomic design strategies, pictured in plan (a) and elevation (b).
a
b 11
Transformation of the porous form into a structural matrix. 12
ARC 107
Fall 2020 Professor David Shanks Development of basic skills and understanding of form, space, and hierarchy. Projects ranged from abstract exercises and buildingdesign problems to case-study analysis.

CUBE STUDY
Development in stereotomic and tectonic strategies through a series of cubes. Cubes (c) and (d) focused on stereotomics, cubes (e) and (f) focus on tectonics, and cubes (b), (g), and (h) focus on both to create hybrid studies. Hybrid cube (b) was developed further through an unfolded elevation (a).

CASE-STUDY ANALYSIS Precedent house: Wall House India Architect: Anupama Kundoo Date: 2000 Location: Auroville, India
Axonometric studies of Wall House India, focusing on solid/void relationship, wall construction, and division of spaces.
15
Study models giving a physical representation of the design strategies utilized throughout the precedent project.
16
PROJECTIVE MODELS Physical models and conceptual design drawings for a projective model, based on the design strategies of Wall House India.
17
Rendered axonometrics of the projective models including entourage.
18
ARC 108
Spring 2021 Professor Debbie Chen Utilization of acquired skills to explore site-specific design challenges and case-studies. Projects focused on program, context, materiality, and construction.
19
THRESHOLDS AND SEAMS Sectional study of the University Luigi Bocconi (Grafton Architects 2008). Both the digital drawing and the relief model focus on circulation of space through thresholds and seams.
20
SURFACE AND MATERIALITY Front elevation and axonometric diagram using themes and techniques from a case-study building (Murcia Town Hall, Rafael Moneo 1998). 21
Interior perspective rendering and exterior perspective showing context and entourage throughout the space.
22
SYR ARTS INCUBATOR
Cumulative project incorporating design strategies learned throughout the year to create an art incubator. Long and short elevations and sections employ representational strategies to further develop the building and habitable
