Multiview drawing : al’s place
The first project was to pick out our favorite building and to draw it using multiview drawing techniques. AL’s place is a modern new american restaurant for an inventive take on seafood & vegetable dishes. The restaurant is located on 1499 valencia st., san francisco and it has a simple structure with classy look.

Multiview drawing : al’s place
Strengths : by doing this project, it made me understand a dimension of the building and taught me how to measure the building by using different method such as using google earth. Also it made me know that details of the building is very important. Weaknesses : getting the right measurement was very difficult while drawing. 6
Opportunities : gaining experiences by doing this project, i have learn different method that i use it in drawing other buildings. Risks : getting a wrong scale for the building might be a problem. 7
GROUP TINY HOUSE PLAN I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I HEARD THAT WE HAVE TO DO TINY HOUSE PLAN BY USING A BLUE TAPE ON THE GROUND OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM. I WAS A PART OF YELLOW GROUP IN THIS PROJECT, AND WE HAD TO DESIGN A TINY HOUSE WHICH WAS 8’/20’.
Strengths : we were able to see the actual size of the tiny house that we designed and know to create spaces wisely. Weakness : we had to change our layout from the original plan according to the scale. Opportunities : i think i’ll be able to create a functional tiny house easily in the future. Risks : we have to cram things into small space, also not enough space!

ARRAY TOOL : 3D CUBES Learning how to use array tool, it helped me know how to generate so many cude instead of creating one by one, and know how to play with color. I love how cude appear in different positions.
Strengths : generating many parts instead of one by one and editing all of them at the same time. Weakness : it took time to understand how the use array tool.
10
Opportunities : generating more color cube in different shapes and making it more complex. Risks : it’s easy to make a mistake if you don’t be careful while using the tool.

PATTERNS
12
Learning how to create patterns is very helpful.this is another exercise that taught me how to get the repetition of a floor and a wallpaper. -----------------------------------------------Strengths : i learned how to use array tool and how to create patterns in my own design. It was fun to see different patterns. Weaknesses : some of the patterns were difficult to generate. Not having the right scales could cause a problem. Opportunities : we can use these techniques in creating patterns for a floor or a wallpaper in designing house. Risks : if you don’t use it carefully, It could ruin a floor. 13
DOGHOUSE
14
Understanding all basic tools and know how to use it is very helpful. This exercise gave me the opportunities to play with basic tool and learn how to build a little house from the beginning. --------------------Strengths :i learned how to use materials and how it display on the surface of the object. Weaknesses : matching colors or right materials was very difficult. Opportunities : getting a colorful little doghouse. Risks : ----

TINY HOUSE PROJECT : L-SHAPE TINY HOUSE
16
This is individual tiny house project that we all had to design our own tiny houses. What exactly are the benefits of tiny houses? In my opinion, tiny houses offer the fantasy of having less; less square footage, less responsibility, and less stuff. The idea has been particularly trendy in recent years and a lot of people want to spent their live in it. The concept of my tiny house was L-shape tiny house. Basically i wanted to design a modern tiny house that has a simple structure and has open space inside as possible(lots of windows or big windows). The reason for having a big windows is to make a space look bigger. For some people who worry about their privacy, they can have shades, curtains or blinds.

TINY HOUSE PROJECT : L-SHAPE TINY HOUSE
18
Strengths : learning how to build tiny house by using sketchup program. Learning how to put together designs and source materials. Understanding that getting the correct measurement is very important. Weaknesses : there were not enough spaces to create more adaptable spaces such as adding more closet or storage. Opportunities : finding the way to compromise between function and form. Also, creating more adaptable spaces. Risks : adding more people and relationship to tiny house is very challenging

IMPROVED TOOL PROJECT - handle scrub brush -
Original bathtub scrubber 22
Household products have a huge impact in our everyday lives. Products that are perfectly designed make our lives easier, on the other hand, products that are poorly designed make our lives more difficult. Redesigning and improving household products are one of the challenging project because you have to improve existing products to make it more useful and functional. Also you have to think about details that might affect the design.

IMPROVED TOOL PROJECT - handle scrub brush -
This improved product is handle scrub brush. It is all-in-one scrub brush that you can add liquid cleaner into the brush, so you don’t have to carry cleaner around with you while cleaning a bathroom. Also it comes with a spray that you can spray on any surface that needs to be cleaned. ------------------------------------Strengths : understanding details of objects that need to be redesigned is very important. Thinking of how products function and how they cooperate with other parts Weaknesses : everything could go wrong if you don’t sketch and think carefully in the details of the product. Opportunities : learning how to improve existing products will help me design efficient products in the future. Risks : it might fall apart easily if it builds with cheap materials.

GROUP PROJECT : THE SAINT MARY
26 26
This is a group project. We all were assigned to model the existing buildings from mid-century by using sketchup. The building that our group had to model was Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption (San Francisco, California) it is the principal church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese. It is the mother church of the Catholic faithful. The design is saddle roof is composed of eight segments of hyperbolic paraboloids, in such a fashion that the bottom horizontal cross section of the roof is a square and the top cross section is a cross. The design is reminiscent of St. Mary's Cathedral in Tokyo, which was built earlier in the decade. In our group, we separate our work into three parts, tower, column, and wall. I did the tower part which is very challeng for me to model it. 27

GROUP PROJECT : THE SAINT MARY
EXPLODED AXON 28
strengths : by doing this project, it made me learn how to use ruled surface to model the top part of the building and it made me understand how to create curb lines and the surface that is curb. Weaknesses : i could not hide some lines of the exterior surface because it attached to the interior surface. Opportunities : understand how to generate saddle roof by using ruled surface technique and generate more complex structure in the future. Risks : must be careful when connect lines to other lines. Pay attention in details when crate ruled surface otherwise you have to do it all over again!

IMPROVED DESIGN OF THE SAINT MARY
32
This is our final project and individual project. We had to redesign the existing building that we were assigned to model. The concept is to redesign the existing building to become contemporary design. You have to solve most problem of the existing building such as lighting, building materials, surrounding area, etc. first of all we started with sketching our idea into the paper and then figure out what we need to change it and make it better. My concept of the new design was petals of the flowers. I believe that religion is just like blooming flowers.

FLOOR PLAN Strengths : by doing this design, it made me understand more about hyperbolic paraboloid and learned how to use it to create a beautiful surface. Developing some idea that can apply in design. Weaknesses : could not make a surface look more curb as i want Opportunities : using ruled surface techniques in design in the future. Risks : it is easy to make a mistake if you don’t be careful while creating every single surface.
