Concrete Printing



These are my two concrete prints. The first one was a thicker pour and less detail came out, and the form of the slab was a little rough. The second pour had a better consistency and the form was much better. More detail came out, but it clouded the image of the airplane. That might just be an issue with the image and the contrast. I'm very pleased I was able to get two attempts cranked out before the end of the semester. Hopefully once Chris is back in a year we can do a lot more concrete printing!

Timber Render


As a part of formulating my portfolio from this year, I wanted to apply my knowledge that I had learned this semester in Patrick Clay's Rhino class to my studio work, so I used V-Ray to render how my timber framing roof would look at sunset. I found that V-Ray can be a powerful tool in the final presentation of a project, and intend on rendering some of my past projects over this summer as a part of documenting my work.

Saltmaker's House

This is my proposal for the saltmaker's house we did at the beginning of the spring semester. I had originally hand drawn the plans for our presentation, but decided during the last two weeks of school to put them into my computer so i would have a digital version of my work. The plans are drawn up in AutoCAD and are posted as JPEG images below.

Salt Maker Model Pictures










Some pictures of my Salt Maker model. Not really the best quality but I want to at least get a few pictures of the model up on the blog. There's a few views of both the Salt Maker's house and workshop, and then a few of each building individually.

Timber Frame, Studio Time








This was the design chosen for our in studio timber framing competition. I was in charge of the drawings for this design. I have done a plan view, and perspective, the first two being scanned in, and the last two, photoshoppped slightly. This should be the last post for my second year in studio. It has been a great year, and I have learned alot.
