The sketchbooks are in rough chronological order; oftentimes these books were used simultaneously. Within each sketchbook, the pages are displayed in order from front to back with the beginning pages farther back in the archives. Each post reads bottom-to-top.
1. The sketchbook titled "Le Corbusier" was kept specifically for a Design 2 project where I analyzed Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye and then was charged to design a visitor's center for it. Most visual analysis of Villa Savoye was done separately on trace and with study models, as was most of the design for the visitor's center. As such, it doesn't appear here. The sketchbook does have: notes & photocopies from readings, some initial visual analysis & diagramming of Villa Savoye, and some initial thoughts & diagrams concerning the visitor center.
I'm a 1st-year architecture student at Philadelphia University.
Currently, my goal upon graduating is to become a practicing architect who manipulates vernacular techniques and develops new & innovative techniques to create more environmentally-conscious spaces. This will be accomplished by applying modern materials and the opportunities they offer to the clients' wants. By combining these elements, bold, pioneering forms will be created which embody fundamental beauty.
