Introduction HI, MY NAME IS JOHN CHESTER FERNANDO. I AM MAJORING IN ARCHITECTURE IN MONTGOMERY COLLEGE. I BELIEVE THAT ARCHITECTURE IS WHERE CREATIVITY MEETS LOGIC. IT IS WHEN ART PLAYS IN UNISON WITH FUNCTIONALITY AND EFFICIENCY. HERE ARE SOME SAMPLES OF MY WORKS FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO COLLEGE. Why I chose architecture? SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID I HAVE ALWAYS WATCHED AND OBSERVED MY DAD, WHO IS AN ARCHITECT, WORK IN HIS OFFICE. CURIOSITY AND INTEREST GREW IN ME AS I WATCHED HIM DRAW AND CREATE THESE BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS. THIS FASCINATION STIRRED SOMETHING WITHIN ME; A DESIRE TO BE AS GOOD AS MY FATHER WHEN IT COMES TO ART, MAKING HIM PROUD OF ME IN THE PROCESS, AND MY OWN GENUINE DESIRE TO CREATE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL AND LASTING. I ALWAYS THOUGHT OF MYSELF AS AN ARTIST. I DREW AND STILL DRAW A LOT OF THINGS THAT INTEREST ME, WHETHER IF IT IS CARTOON OR REALISTIC IMAGERY. BUT EVEN WITH THE NUMEROUS CONCEPTS OF ART THAT I CAN FOCUS ON, ARCHITECTURE CLEARLY STOOD OUT TO ME. AT THE AGE OF 14, I CAME TO THE UNITED STATES FROM THE PHILIPPINES TO BE WITH MY FAMILY. MY FATHER TRAINED ME AND TAUGHT ME THE CONCEPTS OF CAD AND HOW TO READ PLANS. FROM THERE I STARTED DEVELOPING SKILLS BY DOING BASIC DRAFTING FOR HIM. I ALSO DEVELOPED AN UNDERSTANDING ON THE FIRE AND SAFETY CODES BY GOING ALONG WITH MY DAD IN HIS INSPECTIONS. IN MY JUNIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL I JOINED A TWO YEAR ARCHITECTURE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM IN THOMAS EDISON WHERE I SHOWCASED THE THINGS I’VE LEARNED. I WON 2ND PLACE ON THE LOCAL SKILLS USA COMPETITION AND PLACED 6TH ON THE STATES COMPETITION ON MY FIRST YEAR. ON MY SECOND YEAR, I WON THE YOUNG AMERICAN HOUSE COMPETITION AND GOT MY HOUSE DESIGN BUILT. NOW, I’M FOLLOWING THE FOOTSTEPS OF MY FATHER INTO BECOMING THE BEST ARCHITECT THAT I CAN BE.

concept sketches using le corbusier concept of pilotis enhances the building's interaction with the land by providing space for driveway and patio space below the structure not only that, this characteristic gives the architecture a sense of lightness making it seem to be floating in air. since this is will be located in a hurricane prone area, pilotis are used to raise the inhabited space of a building ..above the storm surge levels

design concept
floor plan THE CONCEPT OF THIS PLAN IS TO SEPARATE THE PRIVATE AREA FROM THE PUBLIC AREA. THE BEDROOM AREA IS PLACED ALONG THE NORTH EASTERN SIDE SO IT CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SUNRISE AND RIVER VIEW. IT ALSO HAS LESS EXPOSURE TO HARSH SUNLIGHT. THE GREAT ROOM IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEASTERN WALL FOR BETTER DAYLIGHTING AND TO TAKE ADVATAGE OF THE RIVER VIEW AS WELL
AIR CIRCULATION SUMMER TIME- PULLS IN COOL AIR USING CONVECTION. THE TROMBE WALL HEATS AIR AND HOT AIR RISES BY RELEASING IT OUTSIDE AIR IS PULLED IN THE BUILDING TO REPLACE THE VACUUMM WINTER TIME- HEAT IS STORED AND SLOWLY RELEASED THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

THE DESIGN PURPOSE OF THE FLOOR PLAN IS TO CREATE A GEHRY LIKE DESIGN WHILE STILL BEING EFFICIENT WITH THE FLOOR AREA USAGE. MOST OF THE SERVICE AREA ARE LOCATED ON THE NORTHEASTERN WALL. MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE WINDOW FOR NORTHEASTERN FACE IS ONLY 25% AND MINIMUM OF 75% FOR THE SOUTH WESTERN FACE. THE SEATING AREAS ALL HAVE SOUTH WESTERN EXPOSURE. THIS INCREASES THE NATURAL DAYLIGHT EXPOSURE INSIDE THE BUILDING.
