Site Design

The Goal: To design a mini golf course in groups of two.

Models and other physical items can be very pleasing to the eye. While another

student created a graphic of the site layout I created a physical model. This is the

typical 19th “win a free game” hole that you can find at a mini golf course.

Site Design: Mini Golf Course

Goal: To create a toy factory next to a

river. This project was given to us with

exact specifications that were

predetermined.

Architectural Graphics: Toy Factory

Design: Working with Monochrome

Goal: To study the use

of monochromatic

color using a 1” grid.

I decided to use a tree

on the edge of the

paper. This allows the

branches to bring the

eye to the trunk of the

tree. I used random

shades of green for

the background grid.

Design: Dorm Room for a Single Person

Goal: Create a dorm room specifically

designed for one person. Finding room

for a balcony was presented as an

optional addition. The kitchen/bathroom

core had specific dimensions we had to

work with.

Goal: To create a museum for a long

lost, now found, book written by

President Lincoln. I chose to represent

the site design with a model to show

the relationships to surrounding

buildings.

Design: Le pavilion d’Un

Goal: To create something using 500

identical items disregarding color.

The idea of using pipe cleaners to create a

tree came to me almost instantly. After

researching the idea I realized the natural

curve of pipe cleaners would fit the idea of

a bonsai tree.

Design: The 500 Project

Goal: To show structural design considerations of retaining walls and details.

Using AutoCAD for Architecture 2009 I put together four types of retaining walls on one

elevated grade to show the differences among them. I then took one of the four designs

and represented the idea of outdoor patio stairs using a “King-Stair” stair system.

Detailing: Site Detail Study

Goal: To show five types of

foundation systems using different

specific components for each.

Using AutoCAD for Architecture

2009 I put together five types of

foundation systems. While using

traditional CMU and slab on grade

applications we also explored the

use of insulated concrete form.

I chose to show a brick ledge and

the floor joist being held in place by

anchor bolts set into the concrete.

Detailing: Foundation Study

Goal: To show the site plan of

the Comfort Inn being built

near the college.

This project allowed us to see

the production of the building

as well as draw the plans with

limited knowledge of

dimensions.

The experience gained from

being able to see a structure

built from the ground up while

working on the plans was very

valuable.

Design II

Design Studio II: Sin and VirtueGoal: Create a collage using one of the deadly sins and its opposite virtue. I used an

abstract form of a collage to detail patience and greed.

Design Studio II: MoMA

Goal: Design a modern art museum in the city of Williamsport, Pa while maintaining the

guidelines presented. The design includes a waterfall off of the roof which also

generates power for the structure while acting as an exhibit within.

Design Studio II: Sustainability CenterGoal: Design a sustainability training center located in Long Beach, Ca. The center was

designed using net-zero energy to eliminate its carbon footprint and utility costs. The

design of the structure was to stand out from the surrounding areas. I chose a futuristic

look to do so.

Design III

Design Studio III: Art Studio Goal: Design a sustainability art studio for one person. The studio is located on the

south side of Williamsport, PA. The presentation was to feature art created by the

occupant of the building. The art is located in the top right of the presentation.

Design Studio III: BrickStainableGoal: Design an office building using brick as the primary building material while

incorporating sustainability into the design. I chose a new approach while designing

the presentation boards for this project because it was to be self-presentable. The

design included sustainable features such as southern facing façade, louvers, light

shelves, photo-voltaics, etc.

Design Studio III: Loyal CareGoal: Design a sustainable community for the aging in Williamsport, PA. The

community was designed using various sustainable features including photo-voltaics,

low flow fixtures, and quickly renewable materials in the construction.

Historic Preservation

Historic Preservation: Historic District

Goal: Portray the

Williamsport

Historic District by

providing

information about

the structures in the

district. This poster

is used as a self-

presentable

learning tool to

further your

knowledge about

the Williamsport

Historic District.
