INSPIRATION
boxy bookstore
Boxy Bookstore was inspired by an outdoor shopping mall designed by LTL Architects in which they used shipping containers. The way the designers used the different containers to define each space was an element that I wanted to bring into my design.

Shipping containers are a fun and cool way to showcase various areas that would otherwise be differentiated by boring and conventional walls. Instead of the traditional container exterior, I added wooden planks to make them stand out.
CONCEPT SKETCHES
FLOOR PLANS/SECTIONS
The floor plan for boxy bookstore shows where exactly my crate-inspired boxes will be within the space. The containers on the second floor will be connected by wooden planks that will be held up using steel rods. These will also be what the customer will walk across to get to the next box. The steel rods will tie into the steel and wire railings that run across the entire second floor. There will also be a small cafe and kids area downstairs. The container closest to the entrance will serve as a small reading area while the back container will be the kid’s playroom/ reading room.

In-Model Perspectives
modeling
For the modeling aspect of my project, I initially used basswood to show my overall “stacking� concept. Because the inspiration for my design was shipping containers, I wanted to show a differentiation between my concept and its base using the materials. In my final iteration, I used chipboard because of its sturdiness and its ability to withhold the weight of each box.
INSPIRATION
live/work space
The live and work space was designed from my inspiration and love for the Grand Canyon. I wanted to translate the various ridges and peaks within each mountain into my project.

The separate areas within my space include the public/ private and live /work spaces. The public areas consists of the restaurant, kitchen and eat-in garden. The private areas include the horticulturist work area and private home.
CONCEPT SKETCHES
FLOOR PLANS/SECTIONS The floor plan of my live/work space shows how each wall corresponds to the spaces. I liked the idea of not only creating a zig-zag wall, but allowing that wall to curve similar to the natural shapes of the Grand Canyon. From the left, the public restaurant and professional kitchen move into the eat-in garden which represents the less public area. The thicker wall serves as the separation between the public and private areas. The two spaces from the right represent the living area and horticulturist space.

In-Model Perspectives
modeling
With modeling my live/work space, I first used thin chipboard to show its basic design. In the model to the right, I used foambard to show each wall thickness. Using a scoring method, I was able to bend and manipulate the wall shape to display its unconventional and natural look.

INSPIRATION
point/line/frame
Yoga is the promotion of both physical and mental health. I wanted to incorporate this practice into my design by using the idea of stretching the body into long vertical and horizontal lines.

Point/Line/Frame was designed around movement. From the idea of movement came the task of applying it to both line drawings and model-making.

After capturing the movement through the lens, I was able to create a line drawing that displayed each detail. From the line drawing, an elevation and plan was drawn to show the various line weights and its heirarchies.

fab food cart
The Fab Food Cart was designed for those in need of a quick and healthy snack. The food cart was to be placed inside of a Kroger’s Supermarket that caters to a healthier lifestyle.

Brok’N Chocolate is the name of my food cart which serves healthy broken pieces of 100 percent dark chocolate that would be picked out, weighed and then eaten to satisfy the sweet tooth while watching your caloric intake.
CONCEPT SKETCHES
FLOOR PLANS/SECTIONS In the floor plan, I wanted to show where the customer would be able to pick up the chocolate bags and where the sales associate would stand. The customer would be able to walk up to the cart and around it and be able to pick up any bag of chocolates. The green areas represent the pockets that the chocolate bags would sit inside of. The blue areas show where the customers can stand and walk around the cart. The grey area represents where the sales associate would stand and ring up the customer’s purchase.

exploded axon
For my exploded axon, I wanted to show the materials that made up the structure of my food cart. Its structure consists of a lightweight metal stud base which is then enveloped by a translucent acrylic panel that would lay on top of it. This would make the panel hollow on the inside which allows for the interior lights to sit.
