ARCH 20 PORTFOLIO FALL 2016 - RITA
A current learning portfolio for George Lin’s Architecture 20 course, which he teaches graphic architecture communication. Throughout the course I’ve learned how to scale, draw, and use conventions, as well as analyzing and constructing Two-dimensional multi-view orthographic drawings. I present to you a collection of my coursework.

Tiny House Project
Team Purple The tiny house project consisted of working in teams to design a tiny home of 160 sq ft or less, and create a visual floor plan with blue tape. The project allowed us to work and learn from each other on a professional level. We were able to see what each team member liked and collaborate. Tiny House being our first project, we hit plenty of bumps along the way. We noticed some concepts work better within the limited square footage. Overall, we integrated a part of everyone’s ideas into the plan to create an efficient, effective team Tiny House.

INDIVIDUAL TINY HOUSE SKETCHUP
For my individual tiny house model I chose to follow a more systematic design. A more Japanese artistic style. As you will see on page 11, the lines are simple, clean, and structured. The idea behind my design is that the limited, small space feels ambient and vast with a structured build.

MID-CENTURY MODERN ARCHITECTURE

CASE STUDY HOUSE #22 “Mid-Century Modern comes from the period roughly between the years of 1947 - 1957 in its architectural, interior, and graphic design.” ●

Who? The designer of the Case Study House #22, is architect, Pierre Koenig. The 2,200 square-foot, two bedroom house, is mainly constructed out of glass and steel. The materials used are the most identifiable trait of architectural modernism. When? Buck Stahl, in 1956, constructed a 3 dimensional model before hiring architect Pierre Koenig later in 1957. “On April 8th, 1959 the home was inducted into the Case Study House program by Arts & Architecture magazine, and assigned the number 22.” The Stahl House was completed in May of 1960. Where? The Stahl House is located in the “Hollywood hills” on Woods Drive in Los Angeles. It was declared a Historic-Cultural landmark of the City of Los Angeles in 1999. 19

CASE STUDY HOUSE #22
“Industry has not learned the difference between what is beautiful in its simplicity and what is ugly although equally simple...." ●
The “L” shape design along with the use of the chosen materials created an overlapping feel of public space and private space, inner living space and its surroundings. On the inside there's really no “private space” so I created a sliding panel to divide the bedrooms. Which created a hallway from the west bedroom into the kitchen hallway.
●
"...put a swimming pool …[in] the house, in a way, seems to float in space …” While keeping the original idea, I extended the pool to the edge to give the feel of never ending, infinity pool.
●
I like the feel of having an open living and kitchen space. I removed the chimney which created a block between the rooms. I switched the layout of the dining table and VIOLA!, we have an open area.

After much dedication and commitment to excellence, I can speak with confidence that I have acquired the skills necessary to excel in future design projects, while retaining my desire to develop and improve further. Thank you. -Rita
