These images are the final perspectives for critique. I drew them each first by hand and then rendered them in Photoshop. It was my first go at rendering in Photoshop and the images look somewhat flat and cartoon-like so I need to work on adding texture either by hand before I scan the image or in Photoshop.

This drawing shows how the beams would sit on top of the offices and hallway to the offices. The beams only rest over the hallway so that the light is filtered coming from the windows in the vault. This also makes for an interesting element at the top of the walls where the beams end.

These drawing were some ideas I had for the roof garden. The first image is the stairs that lead up to the roof garden. These stairs would be illuminated by the light coming from above and encased in glass to let the light in but have grass growing out of the top of it.

The stairs would be made of concrete and have a floating effect but be supported by copper colored pipes that run perpendicular to the treads.

The second image is how I would like to include wooden planks (mimic the beams) as a place to sit in between the trees and read, eat lunch, meditate, etc.

These are the drawing I did for the first charette we did in class. It really helped kick off some of the ideas that carried through to the end of the project. For example, the beams at the front entrance and the steps leading up to the front door.

This was the first perspective that I drew. It was drawn before I had a concept and it was just an idea of how I might deal with organizing the space in the larger vault.

This is a bubble diagram that I made to help understand how the offices would be organized including knowing how many individual offices and desks would be needed.

An Interview - Transcript
Laura Hamilton and Emily Lasky

Name: Wendy Faviola Pagoaga
Country of Birth: Honduras
Native Language: Spanish
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Marital Status: Single
Occupation: Full time student / nanny
Family Details, Path to come here, Goals, Intentions, Dreams, Life before and after, challenges, and acculturation techniques:
- Came to the United States, illegally, at age 8. Mother paid a lady to bring her to the states (New Jersey) and pretend to be her mother
- Her parents were already here (crossed the Mexican border)
- At 10 yrs old, her father passed away so Wendy and her mother moved to North Carolina to live with Wendy’s aunt and try to become legal citizens.
- Her mother planned to marry so that they could become legal citizens but got deported in 1997- they had it appealed and got legal status when she was a junior in high school
- Wendy is fluent in both English and Spanish- she translated everything for her mother here in the states- learned how to speak English in Honduras
- They became legal immigrants but not citizens when they got their green cards- great fear of being deported even thought they were legal
- They eventually became US citizens, they had what is called “dual-citizenship” with Honduras and the states – this made traveling a huge challenge
- Wendy wanted to become a citizen so that she could go to college after high school to become a lawyer.
- The United States offers opportunities to become stronger and more independent in this world- she wants to go back to Honduras one day to support the power of the US
- “Everyone’s dream in Latin America is to learn English and move to the US- the country of dreams”
- Adapting to America- began to celebrate American holidays (st patricks day, Halloween, etc…) family is different here- kids grow up and at age 18 become removed from their family, in Honduras family is family and they stay as a close family forever.
- Wendy still has cousins living here in the US as illegal immigrants
- Wendy wants to make a difference and help give illegal immigrants a voice

IAR 212 Computing in Design

The roles of computing in design today are extremely important. The technology we currently are using has come a long way and has helped generate the architecture profession as it is known today. Some of the buildings that have been put up in the last 50 years could not have been done, or at least not nearly as successfully, without the computing technology, like CCAD, that has been developed in the last century. Architects are finally able to see complicated designs and ideas being put together in front of them in 2D and 3D with the help of computing. Computing is more like a tool for Architects to use like a pencil or drafting board rather than something that does the work for them, which in turn leaves room for errors to happen and things to go wrong but the ability to see difficult designs in 3D (even 2D) has brought Architects much closer to perfection than was able to be done 100 years ago.
As the technology in computing progresses, the ability for software to catch errors in designs and drawings will help to break down large-scale projects and help the profession of Architecture progress, as well. Especially with the issue of sustainability on our shoulders, computing will be able an extremely useful tool for measuring and figuring out how sustainability will be played out in buildings of the future. More functional, higher quality, longer lasting, more efficient buildings are in our future with the help of computing
