(Above) A quick SketchUp model with V-Ray rendering that I made to learn V-Ray.
This is a concept for a performing arts center somewhere near Denver, CO. The building and site does * (Above) not exist; I chose to draw this out of thin air as a drawing and design exercise. I have always been fascinated with architecture, so I wanted the building to have something significant, which is why I gave it a beacon-like tower. No perspective chart, model, or photograph was used for the linework. The linework was drawn on trash paper with a black color pencil, but I took this opportunity to learn a new method of rending by using a Wacom pen tablet to digitally apply color and still have the control of a marker or pencil. I am still experimenting this method of drawing and rendering and have expectations of it being a permanent graphic style for my skill set. Similar rendering techniques of using Adobe Photoshop with a mouse can be seen on pages 16 & 17. (Right) A SketchUp model of a conceptual plaza next to a commuter rail stop, restaurants, bars, retail shops, commercial businesses, and residential high rises in downtown Orlando, FL (see page 3). This image was also rendered with V-Ray as a learning exercise.

There are 6 park-n-ride and 6 urban stations in the first phase including DeBary, Sanford, Lake Mary, Longwood, Altamonte Springs, Maitland, Winter Park, Florida Hospital, Lynx Central Station, Church Street, Orlando Health Center, and Sand Lake Road. Both county and city jurisdictions approve and comment on designs.

project * This development
is a mixed-use with a town center area designated by a central road with mixeduse buildings. I had several roles with this project. I designed small park areas, amenities areas, garden areas, art features, a pavilion, sculptural trellises and fences, arbors, and walls. I produced final landscape and hardscape packages, selected site furnishings and materials, selected lighting fixtures, and selected paving patterns.
southeast corner of project
I designed the landscape plan. With certain exceptions to light requirements, the plan had an overall theme of planting by product type. Identity was given to certain streets by being planted with smaller flowering trees, palm trees, oaks, or elm trees.

I took part in the initial direction of the project theme. I developed a conceptual imaging package, which included these quick sketches for the client. I produced concepts for the clubhouse parking area, mail kiosk area, and some parts of the amenities area. I also produced landscape and hardscape design development packages, a final hardscape package, and selected site furnishings and materials. Hardscape details that I produced included water fountains, arbors, a fireplace, columns, a vehicular gate, an entrance sign and logo, and paving details.

school project was * This to provide a proposed retail area with spaces for public seating, restaurant seating, and access to and from a parking deck. At the time this was designed, the lot consisted of a parking lot shared by a bank and the theatre. Recently, a mixeduse development was erected here consisting of restaurants on the ground level, several levels of parking above, and commercial offices on the top floor. No green space exists.

For this project, I was to design a section of fence * (Right) and then actually build it. I could construct it out of whatever material that I desired, as long as it could be bolted to a 2x8 board that was bolted to a concrete wall outside of the school building. What I enjoyed about this project was that it allowed me to see how and why certain connections are used in construction. My inspiration for the design came from a visit to an art museum and seeing some geometric designs. I wanted my fence section to pop out from the rest of my colleagues’ fences, so I painted the sections bright red and neon green.
