PERKINS EASTMAN INTERNSHIP September-December 2015 Pittsburgh, PA
While at Perkins Eastman, I had the opportunity to work on a couple of exciting projects, and assisted with a plethora of other tasks around the office. I had the opportunity to contribute in the assemblance of presentation slides and boards for clients. I offered assistance in research and analysis in the beginning stages of a couple projects, as well as creating maps, diagrams, and models to help communicate findings, ideas and concept designs to clients. The majority of my responsibilities while at Perkins Eastman included the creation of architectural renderings and illustrations that would be delivered to clients. This process involved working with the Project Managers and other team members, to ultimately create illustrations that effectively communicated the look and feel of a project. I worked on renderings at all stages of project development, from the intial design concepts presented at interviews, to the final architectural renderings that would be presented to the public.

EDUCATIONAL BUILDING Design Study Pittsburgh, PA
This first set of renderings involved two vacant sites located within an urban college campus. The goal of this project was to develop concept designs in the form of 3D massing and renderings. The main idea was to explore the type of architecture that could potentially be built at each site, so in working with an architect, we were able to develop a concept for each. The rendering at the top right proposed for a building concept that was more contemporary and innovative in nature, while the rendering at the bottom left called for a more traditional building that wouldn’t overshadow the surrounding historical buildings. The designs for each building were largely lead by the architect I was working with, though I was able to play a part in the direction and overall design of the more contemporary building. My teammate built the model for the building in the bottom left and I produced the rendering. I built the model for the building in the top right and also produced the rendering. The process involved building the models using Google Sketchup, and then using V-ray and Photoshop to create the final rendering.
CORPORATE OFFICE TOWER Design Study

CORPORATE OFFICE TOWER Design Study Pittsburgh, PA
This project involved an outdated 1980’s office tower, and the study we did was to explore what kind of renovations and “face-lift” could be done to the building in order to attract new tenants and investment. We set out to deliver three renderings to the client: one of the plaza and entrance to the tower, the second of the interior main lobby, and the third of the back lobby and front desk area. I worked with an architect and interior designer, whom primarily lead the direction of the concepts and overall designs, however I was able to contribute a fair amount of insight, perspective and ideation throughout the design phase. The process involved a large amount of research and inspiration that ultimately lead to the formation of the big ideas in each rendering. I completed the renderings using primarily Adobe Photoshop, with a small amount of modeling using Google Sketchup and 3DS Max.
