WELCOME TO MY 2021 IN-DEPTH PROJECT!

 

This year my goal for In-Depth was to learn the ins and outs of architectural rendering as well as acquire a basic understanding of constructive components. My mentor, Murray MacKinnon has kindly taken time to guide me through this project and I am extremely grateful for his technical insights and help.

My project is centred around designing, drawing, and rendering an original two story family home inspired by ‘green building’. Below, I will take you through the process step by step to demonstrate my learning…. ENJOY!

p.s. if you have any questions/comments please put them down below! I’d love to answer some!

 

Step 1: Bubble Diagram

A process that uses circles to map out general floor layouts

 

Step 2: Refining (“boxing”)

Turning the circles into squared out shapes

 

Step 3: Refining (adjustments)

Expanding the entrance and breakfast nook

 

Step 4: Refining (digitally)

Transferring my plans onto a digital medium

 

Step 5: Perspective Practice (highlights)

Practising my use of perspective in drawings involving buildings/structures

 

Step 6: Rendering!

Using the dimensions of my plans to render a house (w/garden roof)

 

THANK YOU!

 

“Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words.” —Edgar Allan Poe

 

Words are fascinating.

They create moments of passion and grief, of love and loss. They can take you to the ends of the universe in the blink of an eye. They can lift you higher than your mountains of pain. They can even take you to the deepest dwellings of your mind.

So yeah, words fascinate me. But, I have another fascination—one of story telling and expression.

I want to explore the differences between “I’m fine.” and “I’m fine” and every I’m fine in-between. Because, sometimes, it’s not what you say, but how you say it. That’s what I hope to learn from slam poetry. I want to go further than the words that make me feel like I can fly—to the actions that make me fly.

Learning from an experienced slam poet is something that I’m highly looking forward to. And, because expression is such an important component of life, I hope that, through slam, I can tear through the reins of ‘ordinary’.
