Visualizing the world exclusively as lines and developing the coordination of hands, eyes, and mind with charcoal as the medium. In Studio I, I was introduced to gestural lines, which were quick continuous sketches capturing the essence of movement.

CHARCOAL DRAWINGS
During the course, I was also introduced to the perception of compositional order through space and forms as tones and planes. Then developed the drawings with our new ability of observing the world while seeing depth as values through shades and shadows.

PERPECTIVE DRAWINGS
The perspective observation focused on seeing and comprehending depth while developing skill in spatial compositions. I further developed in diagram drawings as a systematic and methodical procedure as a means for communicating.

ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWINGS
During this project, I learned the basic conventions in 2-dimensional orthographic through analyzing and documenting the components of an iron. This project also introduced and help develop my craft of model making skills for basic conventions in constructing physical parti structure.

PARTI
PRESENTATION This parti design is an iteration from the analyzing and documentation of the iron in the previous project. Through several iterations of developing form and space from the household object, the process guided my design process to produce a folly.

CASE STUDY
MORERAVA CABINS
The design ensures minimal local impact and avoids the use of any material from the island. The design of the cabin emerges from the optimization of common materials available on the market. Through this design process, I have learned that sustainability can be portrayed digitally and physically in renderings and model-making.

PHENOMENONAL STUDIES
The goals of the module was to identify and document a phenomena in the environment. Exploration helped identify and articulate the basic elements and the rules of a phenomenon.

Then i identified the basic elements and articulated the geometry of these basic elements. This correlated the relationship between these elements and speculated the rules that governed the phenomena that I observed.

JOINT STUDY
ABSTRACTION + CONSTRUCTION
During this course, I articulated basic elements and rules to translate 2D drawings into a 3D artifact. By exploreing joint and connections, I assembled a three dimensional constructs from two dimensional multiplication of elements as a design strategy. In the end, I learned basic techniques of wood join and to use the learning of the joints to inform design decisions.

GC PROSTHO MUSEUM
This is architecture originates from the system of Chidori , an old Japanese toy. Chidori is an assembly of wood sticks with joints having unique shape, which can be extended merely by twisting the sticks, without any nails or metal fittings. This architecture shows the possibility of creating a universe by combining small units like toys with your own hands.

CODENAME: VEMON
Like a spider’s web, the captive is either trapped or breaking free. The mesh skin ensures that the grid structure stays in place. The grid stretches the mesh creating spatial qualities throughout the structure along with a grand hammock. Combined, the witty and playful structure placed on campus allows students to interact with the outdoors.

CABIN 192
ARCHITECTS: JiA LOCATION: ALTOS DEL MARIA, PANAMA AREA: 36 sq. meters
Throughout this semester, I was tasked with portraying this cabin in is organic state. The area heavily wooded and the cabin is placed upon a rigid surface. However, the simplified geometry and bright white exterior is a bold contrast to its mountainous environment. This project taught me how to properly render orthographics and perThis perspective drawings to express the true nature of the cabin. After proper spective documentation of the cabin, the Architect’s intent for the project documentation became more evident and use of low cost materials were benificial for came both the client and architect.

SMALL STRUCTURE
COLOR BOX
The Color Box is an interative study space combined with an art gallery. The structure is located on the Marietta Campus of Kennesaw State University. It is designed to adjust to various moods of a college student while being open to its environment. The structure consists of three of rotating stained glass panels (featuring primary colors) and the opposing walls are kinetic to adjust its natural lighting. The structure faces North so that the sun path manipulates the interior lighting from yellow, red, then blue along with the combination of the three colors. The Color Box is placed behind the second busiest building of the campus, the Atrium (J Building), to attract students after they have finished their classes or when they craved an enlightening experience while eating lunch.

VILLA D’ALL AVA REM KOOLHAAS
The villa is set up on a hill that gradually slopes towards Seine, Bois de Boulogne in St. Cloud. The clients, Mr. & Mrs. Boudet, wanted a glass house with a pool encased in concrete on the roof with independent apartments. This includes a panoramic view of the Eiffel Tower from the pool. The house is conceived as a glass pavilion containing living and dining areas with floating perpendicular apartments on the opposing sides. The lead architect, Rem Koolhaas is the founder of OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture) He started the company with a group of fellow architects in 1975. The Pritzker Prize winning Dutch architect is highly recognized by his works like the Casa da Musica in Portugal and the Seattle Public Library in Washington.

The root of this concept is deeply embedded in works of Olafur Eliasson and Rem Koolhaas, who are widly known for their interests in perception, movement and the embodied experience within and beyond the structures. The focus of this house is to provide an open and vibrant environment that reflects the nature of the family.

MATERIAL TILES
During this course, I learned the various ways you can produce a tile design through the process of material forming. As a class, we were introduced to the CNC machine, vacuum-forming machine, and the concrete lab where created the inverse of tile design. In the end, my group produced three distinct tiles from one design: wood, concrete, and foam

AFRO-JAMAICAN FUSION "Enyo" is Igbo for the word 'mirror' which best represents the reflective wall facade on the north elevation. The earthy tones throughout the resembles how we are forever tied the the Motherland. The restuarant serves both Nigerian and Jamaican cuisine. The goal is to create a cultural environment open to all kinds of people. The city of Marietta is densely populated due to its numerous points of attraction: newcomers are present daily.
