Welcome to my journey

Here is a compilation of my experiences, most recently starting a Master of Architecture program at the University of Oregon. As the process unfolds, new doors and light reveals the things previously hidden. A process of learning, living, being.

Summer Studio Week 5-ARCH 680

Week 5-
Assignment-Sleeping and Bathing in the main house. We received the entire program for the main house components and were to focus on the sleeping and bathing areas of the house.

Process- I designed the second story with two bedrooms, and one shared bathroom. There are twin girls age 14, so they get a bunk room to cut down on space, tried to minimize the building footprint and maximize the outdoor space that is created in return.

Rough model with site photos behind.

Thoughts-
The rough model allowed for the most conceptual visualization of my ideas so far. I was then able to place it in the context of the site, which was the starting point for sketching perspectives. I did this in Word, making the model have a transparency to it, but when I printed it, it often did not have any transparency, I then created a screen shot of it and saved it as a jpg, that allowed me to print it with the right affect. I look forward to learning a better way!!! say with photoshop. . .. .
