DRA Architects Internship
During my internship at Drummey Rosanne Anderson Architects, I was able to employ my skills to create 3D models and renderings for some of the company’s projects.
The primary objective of this project was to remove the existing wood-paneled ceiling and replace it with catwalks and improved acoustical design. Floor plans and a few sections were provided, which I converted to a Sketchup model of the space so that the renovations would be easier to visualize for the designers.
The model I created was used to determine the heights for catwalks, how and where the catwalks attached to the second floor, and the angles of the acoustic panels so that they would not block the lights for the stage.
Morgan and Koch Office Building
This project was a warehouse that was being turned into an office building. I worked on this project as part of my internship at Drummey Rosanne Anderson Architects. The architects at the firm designed the inside and put an addition on the outside as the entrance. I was given the plans, sections, and elevations of the project to create a 3D model to show the design to the client. I also had to create different views throughout the model that were part of a video walkthrough shown to the client.
Geek House Bike Factory
The task for this project was to design a larger bike factory for the use of a growing company, Geek House. The assignment was about getting to know the client and designing to their specific needs. The creators of the company gave a presentation about themselves and their design process for building bikes. My design is based on the idea of being able to see the structure of the building like you see the structure on a bike. The trusses are visible inside the building and continue to the outside of the building to create outdoor spaces. The spaces inside are organized according to the design process that the company goes through with their clients.
Quilt Project
With this assignment from my time at WIT, we examined bold and abstract quilts. For my project I drew diagrams analyzing the threads and colors of the quilts to find ways to make the design into a three-dimensional form. I examined how the different textures were placed and how the threads would continue throughout the quilt and interact with each other. The model was meant to be in motion, with each cube moving around the central axis to create different versions of the same model.
