Below are the boards I displayed along with my model in the final review. They're all 36" x 48". Pictures of my model coming soon!

The Pavilion & the Topiary // White Object vs. Black Object
Here's a sneak peak of my final project. I've come a long way in Maya but can definitely still improve. The first is a global illumination rendering and the second is an ambient occlusion rendering. Final presentation boards coming soon!

Autodesk Maya + Comme des Garçon
For this project, we each selected three Comme des Garçon garments from several fashion shows and photoshopped the model out so that all that remained was the article of clothing. Our goal was to look at the garments as objects, rather than clothing. We made some iterations to make them resemble that of an architectural plan, poché and all. We then uploaded the diagrams to Maya, then modeled directly from that, transforming the 2D plans into a 3D mass. The following images are a few of my final (midterm) renderings. Images of the plans and my progress coming soon!

Indexicality: Case Study House #9 (PRELIM 1)
For this project, we each chose a house from the Case Study Houses. We analyzed, in great detail, the plan or diagram of our house and found the most interesting organizational aspects of it.
These houses were a residential architecture experiment for Arts & Architecture magazine that included some of the major architects of that era (i.e. Richard Neutra, Raphael Soriano, Craig Ellwood, Charles and Ray Eames, Pierre Koenig and Eero Saarinen). This project was created at the end of WWII, (1946-66) with the return of all the troops, to create inexpensive, modern homes for the U.S. residential housing boom.
I chose CSH9, a.k.a. the Entenza House, (1949) by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen.
The original diagram is extremely orthogonal and square, with 2 subtle angles that cut through the living room and would supposedly meet somewhere outside of the house. The first angle creates a void. The second, is outside and more discrete. I extended these angles through out the whole house in my modifications to the diagram. I then used these new angles as a means of organization. In my model, I chose to build right from the plan, but also to create abnormal, sharp figures with hard edges to exaggerate the idea of the angles.

Black & White Composition
Fist project first semester. My word was dynamic. Using a grid of either 1", 1/2", or even 1/4", we had to use black and white contrasting
