01 First Process
The objective of First Process was to take 9 abstract images and create an abstract composition using two 2D images. To achieve this goal we used strong lines and multiple cuts that gave direction on the bristol paper. This was a chance to explore our creativity and expand our horizons. First Process marked the beginning of a year full of crazy, stressful, and fun projects.

02 Solid / Void
The Solid/Void project presented us a challenge in which we had to analyze a famous artist's abtract art and draw inspiration from them to create a cube made out of plaster. This process included numerous orthographic and axonometric drawings of our cube. Drawing 1/4" sections of each of our study models helped us with making the formwork of our final plaster model.

03 Sheared Shapes
w
The Sheared Shape project was our first project that included the use of metal and welding. Our first assignment was to contruct four primitives out of bristol board. The shapes were a cone, cylinder, cube, and tetrahedron. Creating these primitives prepared us for our final sheared shape that was to be truncated. The Sheared Shape project allowed us to be creative in transforming basic shapes into an abstract form.

04 Tectonic Cube
The goal of the Tectonic Cube project was to create an object out of wood accurately within a prescribed volume. Given a 48" plank of wood, we created a well-desisgned, solid cube. Sticking to a process was key in order to make a successful cube. The Tectonic Cube project tested our craftsmanship and our ability to plan.

HUMANS tested our abilities to represent
the human body's dimensions through freehand and hardline drawings. Using analytical and generative diagramming as a design tool was key in this project. HUMANS helped us develop a stronger understanding of architectural scale and applying patternmaking skills to a contructed object.

06 SLOScope SLOScope was a project that included the observation
of spatial definitions and proportions. We used the body as a module in the measurement of space, which helped us with our set of as-built drawings that we created. SLOScope also taught us how to make a joiner photograph that documents a space. The drawings and photographs provided us vital information that helped us in creating our final periscope.

07 paraSITE "The placement of a woven bench at the top of the fourth floor stair landing in Building 5, creates an elegant space to view Bishop Peak from a comfortable seat. Paracord weaves around a rebar frame and between banisters to attach itself to the stair rail. The parasite derives its structure and shape from the site."

Design Village asked us to imagine a new kind of
primitive that fosters new kinds of rituals, uses the basic elements in innovative and beautiful ways, and contributes to our understanding of what it means to design and represent an experience. From the first stages of planning and sketching to cutting and lashing, Design Village was the first opportunity for us to create a human scaled structure.

Precedent Study
introduced us to a work of domestic architecture, and its contexts historical, cultural, technological, and formal. Researching and analyzing a present day structure taught us about circulaiton, open/enclosed spaces, public/private zones, views, light path, etc.

10 Pier In the Pier Project, we addressed multiple programmatic concerns through a narrative about looking and listening. This project required us to measure a massive structure connected to a pier in Avila, and turn it into our own personalized pier. The story of our pier was told through our created programs that was placed throughout the pier.

11 Reflection
First year is now finally over. For me, this will be the
last time taking an architecture studio ever. It is both sad and relieving. I have changed so much in the last nine months not only as an architecture student, but as a human being. I have grown to become a more intelligent and capable person when it comes to living the college life. Creating models and numerous drawings was not the only challenge of studio. Learning how to fit-in, make new friends, and getting out of my comfort zone were all challenges of my first year. From the stressful all-nighters of architecture studio to the worthy final exhibits and showcases, this year was for sure a ride to remember.
I am a survivor of first year studio.
