My Alpha-Omega Greek Mythology Museum represents Greek history from start to finish, utilizing the first and last letters of the Greek Alphabet. It's large glass and clad panels give it a sleek, modern look, while staying true to its historic letter-based design.
The museum's floor plan is very open to allow the owner to fill the large 27,000+ square foot space with the exhibits they choose.
My Iconic Building is a combination of the Greek letters "Alpha" and "Omega." The letters have been combined to form the design of the building, which is a Greek Mythology museum.

This design represents the walkway into my iconic building, which is a Greek Mythology museum located in Greece. The museum is designed in the shape of the Omega symbol, with the walkway being located at the mouth of the symbol, leading into the exhibits.

In my compact wall project, I constructed the outside walls of my compact house. Through utilizing stud sizes and the dimensions of my house, I was able to craft a to-scale model of the exterior of my design.
For my fort project, I used Pinterest in order to find inspiration for the kind of structure I wanted to design. The Pins I found led me to striving to design a two room fort, with each room both separated and defined by multiple columns.

In my final design, I constructed two rectangular rooms utilizing wooden columns. The final design resulted in around a 10' x 19' rectangle, fitting well into the 12' x 20' area provided. This fort design is both simple and creative, as it provides a fun spot to get away at while remaining fairly basic to construct.
For my own design, I am using modern and newly designed compact houses as my inspiration. These homes use limited space creatively, while maintaining a sleek look.

My compact house utilizes a small space to create a cozy feeling, while still retaining all of the modern necessities of a home in 2020. Through clad paneling and wood finishing, both the exterior and interior have a sleek, futuristic look.

Proper research and preparation went into planning this project
Through my research on Pinterest, I was able to be inspired to design a modern bedroom
If I had a chance to change this project, I would craft more furniture, such as a lamp or couch
This sketch is a rough first draft of the front facing facade of my dream home, representing what I desire to live in in my future. What stands out about my design is the stone detailing combined with the large glass panels - giving my home a sleek, modern look. I enjoy creating a sleek and modern look in my artworks and designs, as I find the future of housing to be both aesthetic and intriguing.
This floor plan was designed during my time in Architecture I using Revit. The biggest chalenge I faced in creating this home was fitting all of my clients needs in a limited amount of square footage. Through multiple redesigns and shifts I finally came up with a floor plan and home I was pleased with, teaching me that the creation process is almost never quick and simple.
This presentation board was the first one I had ever created, using my house design which is also featured on the left. This project tested my Adope Photoship and Illustrator skills, and left me more skilled in using both programs. It also raised many problems that required solving, such as how exactly to put my house design in a proper setting.
This project required the most creativity out of any I have completed. I was required to create some sort of piece using only recycled materials that could be found around the house. I decided to create a piece of furniture for my project, and settled on a table design. Using only materials that were about to be thrown out and some hot glue, I creatively stitched together a miniature table, seats and all.
I this project I was tasked with recreating a famous piece of art. I chose to do Man in a Bowler Hat, by Rene Magritte. Although the project itself was quite simple, it exposed me to a new way of creativity. I had to think outside of the box in order to figure out the best way to make myself look like the man in the painting, as well as determine how exactly to get a dove floating in front of my face. This project was a quick one, but certainly required a different way of thinking.
