Islamic Geometry

These projects were created as part of a class focusing on the study of Islamic Geometric Shapes. The class, taught by professor Elham Morshedzadeh, emphasized the practice of hand construction of the complex patterns of the Muslim world. I really enjoyed this class and found it to be great practice for hand drafting techniques used in architecture.

Watercolor Islamic Pattern Matrix

After using AutoCAD to construct the design I transferred the design to watercolor paper and painted it. This project was for simultaneous credit in both my Islamic Geometric Shapes (IGS) class and Watercolors. For IGS the goal was to develop a 2-D deliverable that utilized Islamic geometry.

Loft Renovation

Final Presentation Board- 3'x10'

Two of the nine weeks spent on this project were based around presentation development both visual and oral. This is my final board showing the scheme I developed for the renovation of the loft. My presentation was well received by the three faculty that did one-on-one reviews with me. Through the process I developed my skills in Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator as well as digitally enhancing hand drawings. Higher resolution of each panel below.

Concrete

Process

The process of making each module consisted of:

First, hand cutting a piece of green foam insulation to create the positive form of the interior void of the final product. Then, after building a basic wooden mold to form the rectangular prism, concrete is poured in three layers around the mold. In between each layer of concrete, reinforcements were placed to ensure the structural integrity of the final assembly. After 12 hours the blocks were removed from the mold and the foam removed.

Exhibit

This project was part of a group project for my Building Materials class. The final exhibition was the presentation by all groups of their module and complete assembly on the Plaza outside Cowgill Hall.

Geometry, Colors, and Maps- First Year Studio

In my first-year studio, Foundations of Design, I learned many skills, but most importantly I learned the pedagogical view of Virginia Tech’s School of Architecture + Design. These studies show some of the very few projects I completed that year. What is not shown are the invaluable tools I gained through immersion in the studio environment and way of thinking.

Map of Manhattan-Layers

During a discussion on layers in architecture and specifically the layers of a city I was inspired to create this map of Manhattan- one of the most complex metropolitan areas in New York. I simplified the city down to 5 major diagrammatic levels and laser cut those levels from Bristol paper. I then colored them according to their meaning and layered them upon one another. See the other image for explanation.

Map of Manhattan- Layers

Blue- Water surrounding Manhattan, also the limits of the city

Red- The neighborhoods that the citizens of the city have defined for themselves, creating racial, cultural, and social barriers

Black- City street, or circulation through the city

Yellow- Developed land

Green- Space, and when it shows through all of the other layers it denotes the green spaces, or parks within the city grid, emphasizing how few there are
