Medi-Sketch

Go Forth

Nautica Edge Architecture, Fall 2021

Hand Sketching is a valuable tool that I have learned and continue to perfect. It is my preferred method of design communication, providing viewers with access into my mind. Sketching also serves as a mandatory everyday activity and a means of meditation and relaxation. It is through my love for sketching that I obtained the position Freehand Docent at Clemson University.

Medi-Sketch started as a Health Facility in the ﬁrst year studio of the M.Arch 1 program. Students were tasked with understanding the importance of metal health and challenged with creating a space that supports this. Medisketch focuses on my own methods of mental rejuvenation which takes the form of sketching.

Concept: The Three Sisters

Interlocking Forms

The project focused on the idea of reliance. How one particular feature cannot live apart from the other. Taking conceptual clues from the relationship of the three sisters the form of the architecture is characterized by the function of the interior spaces.

Process Sketches

The architecture is made up of several cubicals, all angled in different directions. Each cubical on the second ﬂoor is connected with a stair rotated at the same angle. In order to reach the cubical, occupants must take the stair.
