I'm currently in the Spring semester of my 3rd year. The studio is comprehensive and our project is the design of a Dance Academy situated in South Beach on the corner of Washington and 17th. The project was conducted through the entire semester with the first portion consisting of design, and now this last month or so dealing with refining the design, lighting plans, systems, and final presentation drawings. I'll update the blog once the project is complete.

The Avon Park Facility was a fairly large project and was conducted for the greater part of the semester. The Sheets composed have sections and constructions details which along with the elevations and plans have a number of layers in grayscale to delineate material, paving patterns, and construction. The quality of some of the layers and the finer lineweights were diminished when I reduced the files to fit the blog. The residence sheet seems the hardest to read as the wood flooring and wall panneling don't show as well at this scale and make the drawing hard to read.

so these are the final presentation drawings and models for my projects at University of Miami so far. I will update pictures for my models after i have taken some better ones and some projects are m.i.a. because either professors still have them or partners so i'll update those when i get a chance. Once i buy a better scanner i want to start posting some of my sketchbook drawings, rendering exercises, prelim trace or chipboard models and any other supplementary work i liked.

Interior view with Western (Afternoon) Light

(Later in the day with less direction penetration of light the luminescence is more moderate as the sunlight is diffused on the exposed concrete slabs)

Interior view with Eastern (Morning) light
(Here you can see the more concentrate light filtering through the clerestory window)

Detailed view with existing entrance

Wall removed to show hall interior
(Here you can see platform and the rear wall is light from the hidden clerestory in order to eliminated the need for direct fluorescent lighting during the day by exploiting the use of natural lighting creating a more divine prescence)

Main Prayer Hall Entrance
(Light would penetrate into the main Hall through the entrance and the lattice screen above)

Main Entrance into Reception which is a open-air meditation room
