Architectural Representation 134
Sketchup, Revit, and Rhino Models, Illustrator Diagrams, and Maxwell Renderings
I started off Architectural Representation 134 by achieving an understanding of spatial operations, moves, and their impact on a design and its use. This first slide shows the process of arriving at my final design through assigned moves of merge and taper. Sketchup, Illustrator
Once I had my design, I placed it in the site to analyze the best orientation and approach routes. Sketchup, Illustrator, Indesign

Moving from Sketchup into Revit, I changed my design, created a floor plan, and implemented a column grid as well as landscaping. Revit, Photoshop

In learning Rhino, I researched the Grand Tetons, which I had ascended a few years before hand, and plotted out a site plan at the summit. The contours were marked at 10' intervals and bolded at 100' intervals. Following the topography, I mapped a path down the mountainside and analyzed the turns with a curve study. The site plan is of a square quarter mile with a key to the surrounding square mile. Rhino, Illustrator
Ultimately, I placed a Loft at the flattest and busiest point along the path. This image shows the interior structure of the loft and how it interacts with the path. Rhino, Illustrator, Photoshop

The final project of Arch Rep 134 called for a study of a specified block size fitting into a beam in the architecture studio. The assignment challenged me to carve the block in a way to get light from the front to the back where the block met the web of the beam. Rhino, Maxwell
I carved a series of cones out of the front of the block which overlapped to create two central openings. These openings led to one large cone opening in the rear. The thinking was that the light would reflect along the front cones into the openings and flow into the rear cone to be refracted to a larger space. Rhino, Maxwell, Photoshop
