Hello Everyone!
Welcome to the 2021 personal project virtual showcase.
My personal project is all about designing a sustainable house for the temperature and weather of Cambodia. To design the house, I had to consider different aspects of sustainability and incorporate it into my house's design. I had to consider different aspects of sustainability like materials used, the longetivity, energy production and etc. For my product that I have created, I used Sketch Up (a 3D modeling tool) to design my house virtually. Then, I rendered the virtual model to create a realistic look of the house.
I have always had an interest for architecture. I wanted to use this opportunity to explore the idea and see what its like to be an architect. I chose to base my design around sustainability because I believe that I should use my skills for a more worthwhile design rather than a house that is more focused on the looks. The goal for my project is to spread awareness of sustainable architecture, and show how a house can still look aesthetically pleasing, while being beneficial to the environment.
Thank you for your time, and I hope you enjoy looking through my project.
