Paper Models



This model was mainly composed of larger folds. There are some larger spaces created with larger spaces floating on top.




This model has many smaller spaces and some longer, linear spaces. The majority of the spaces are above the ground plane.












This model is very similar to the O'Gorman library. It has a tower with smaller spaces attached to it. There are also some covered areas along the perimeter.









This model has a large open area in the middle. The linear area could have some interesting sectional qualities and a mix of different sized spaces.

















This was the last model I built. It has a combination of covered exterior spaces, larger folds, and a linear space that could have some interesting sectional qualities.

Mapping Assignment





The concept for the first two maps was an interpretation of the viewing angles of the murals on campus.



This first map tried to express the interaction of the murals and the buildings. It maps where you can and can't see each mural. The map is built in layers that can be taken apart and viewed individually. The different layers represent different heights above ground level.





This map takes the viewing angles and interprets them as corridors. Within these corridors, a transition takes place between seeing and not seeing the murals. The importance of each mural is expressed through the relative height of the corridors.












The concept for this map was an interpretation of the campus in a style similar to the second assignment. I tried to express the major elements of the buildings and landscape through the folding of paper.
