A first year studio taught by Professor Kyle Miller with the help of his teaching assistant, Yiwen Dai, that explores how to define space and establish hierarchy in the built environment and provide an introtroduction to 2D and 3D representational techniques.

A first year studio taught by Professor Anthony Gagliardi with the help of his teaching assistant, Krystol Austin, that focused on the themes of sequence, material, facade, and threshold in the built environment.
This pavilion, intended as a voting place, was the culminating project of the first semester studio and represented the principle of defining space using stereotomic (carved out) and tectonic (additive) design techniques. I carved the central meeting space into the ground and then added gathering spaces and areas for voting, offices and bathrooms tectonically. I did this to create a hierarchy in the central space because the user would have to move through it first before entering into the adjacent areas which creates a sense of seclusion from the surrounding area.

Taking influence from the sections of Church Firminy by Le Corbussier and the University Luigi Bocconi, the Hybrid Section creates a new space which recognizes that, in their own way a church and an auditorium are both performance spaces. It takes distinct elements from each building and incorporates them to create a section that is almost unrecognizable.
This perspective, done in graphite, showcases the gathering area outside of the auditorium and the thresholds that lead into it. Although the form of this space is reminiscent of both the University and the Church the smaller elements like the windows and the doors are what really create a sense of hybridization.
In this perspective I used magazine cut outs to highlight important elements of the space after defining it using shading and linemaking techniques. The yellow cutouts show the threshold that light passes through to get to the interior whether it’s through the three doors or the window shown in this view. I also emphasized the pews because that is where the user will end their journey into the space.
This introductory excercise allowed us to explore defining space with solids, planes, and sticks and challenge ourselves to define it with as few elements as possible and then using simple lines to represent it. In the perspective I represented the solids as blue, planes as red, and sticks as black which related back to the image of Karl Benjamins “Bars 7”.

Exploration into additive shading that analyzes a brown paper bag and captures the places of deepest shadows, middle tones, and
This piece utilizes both the shading techniques and perspective methods learned in Representation I. It gives a view into my home and illustrates the three thresh holds and their unique lighting qualities.
This exploration looks at crouse college first using contour and detail lines and then explains it using vertical lines to show the
This piece explores the bird skull first in a hybrid plan and elevation, then moves to represent it in an axonometric view. It uses a combination of line and light shading to explain the form.
This composition uses color to differentiate, not only between each unique solid but also between the basic form of it and any cuts made into it by using it’s complimentary color. It explores how one can represent which solid is in front of the other using shadows, size and overlapping to create a complex piece.
Pulls apart a complex solid into smaller, more tangible pieces.
Unfolds a complex solid to a flat sheet.
Defines a complex solid as a series of sections.

This composition begins to define two-dimensional space using hatches and fills along with line weight and type to create heirarchy in the piece.
This composition represents an artificiallandscape with rolling hills and large lakes along with manmade cuts into the land and extruded walls by using lateral and horizontal mapping lines as well as contour lines that express the elevation of the land.
