Animation
Mercurial Architecture Tower Structure
It is often difficult to read section drawings. Space frames are especially difficult to successfully delineate. Thus, animation is often the requisite tool for delineating complex geometries.
Imagine Architecture: Lake House
The construction components and walk-through of the interior of a Lake House design inspired by a captivating site in central Vermont.
Stowe Arena Design Proposal
Animated ideation for a design proposal in response to an RFP I created as a design intern at Joseph Architects.
Fabrication Seminar Design 01
The first iteration in response to a call for proposals for a display design for the Norwich School of Architecture and Art.
Form: respond to neighboring geometries, the height of horizontal surfaces and depth of vertical elements are in accordance to furniture typologies (tables) while providing an undulating, curved form.
Materials: CNC cut ribs (horizontal and vertical) provide a lattice from which wrap translucent geo-textile fabric.
Lighting: back lighting exposes structural ribs through the translucent skin as an aesthetic of form and function - a language of modern architecture.
Design Flaws: mobility, weight, labor.
Fabrication Seminar Design 02
The second iteration in response to a call for proposals for a display design for the Norwich School of Architecture and Art.
Resulting from critique, several design strategies were implemented.
Transportation: dissolving into components that can fit into a storage tube, the method of transportation provides a play on the content to be displayed as well as compressing into a form suitable for transportation.
Materials: using wood as the main structural element speaks to the area around Norwich. Fittings, rods and cable are off-the-shelf items. The only custom item is a printed sign which is a typical item purchased by the university.
Fluid Simulation Test
A fluid simulation rig developed for a colleague and his architectural thesis.
Dodgewall
A first attempt at character animation. Modelling, rigging, animating.
