Revit: Art Glass School

This is the beginnings of my Revit model. So far I have only done the walls.

I have been busy with catching up in other classes. Hopefully I will be able to finish this project on time.

Floor Plans

These are the floor plans that I have done recently. They line up top floor to bottom.

There are five floors total with the second plan being doubled. There is a green roof and wall in the future planning.

I went with a parallelogram plan to strive away from the static plan of the adjacent buildings.

Hopefully it all turns out. I'm trying to catch up after my accident, so I have a lot to catch up on.

Final Boards

Structure Model In the Making

So, this is the beginnings of our structure model. It will be further photographed in the future when complete.

What you can see is the final base with the beginnings of the tower which will be six stories with roof.

Already this is looking to be pretty awesome!

Plans

The first image is the first floor in the making. Second is the First floor finished.

Once finished with the floor plans, which is hopefully soon, work shall start on a final structural model.

Jake has already started modeling in Revit and should be posting what he has so far.

Floor Plan

This is a layout of the second floor plan overlaying the lower plan. Some of it is hard to see.

It's not much, but it's progress.

Structural Model Base

This is a scanned and edited drawing of the base of our group structure model.

The longer shapes are a system of mounds, the larger one being 3 stories and the other 2 stories. The center circle is a 6 story tower, with a 2 story atrium, 3 story greenhouse, and 1 story apt. floor.

Still working and should have a pic of our pro. structural model pretty soon.

Ideas, suggestions, and questions always appreciated!

Slideshow: Part 2 of 2

Slideshow: Part 1 of 2

This is my slide show of the posed statement, "What was Louis Sullivan’s take on the seed as a suitable motif for ornamental expression, and how did Frank Lloyd Wright or Purcell and Elmslie apply the motif." I researched the topic using the internet and a few books. If you'd like the bibliography slide as well, just ask.

Being a fan of Frank, I knew who Louis Sullivan was and what he did for architecture. He is the so called, father of the "Skyscraper". This information is all very interesting to me, but what do you think of it? Is it at all useful to what we are doing in studio?

Ice Shack Final Product

So, this is my ice shack! This is what I would want if I were to sit on the ice for hours. I could have gone a more simple route without all the entertainment equipment, but I think I would get bored out there. I have only been ice fishing once with no house for cover, so I didn't really know what I would want. It would surely be possible to make a less complex model with all seating and maybe a stereo.

Hope someone out there likes it!

Ice Shack/ Spring Studio Goals

Sorry for getting this out so late. I thought we were supposed to follow a link on Bb and when I didn't find one I contacted others, but a little too late.

So, this is the basic floor plan for my Ice Schack (ice fishing house). Pretty self explanatory. I'm working on the mechanics of how to fit it in a pickup truck bed and putting it together. Should be done with it later today/ early tomorrow.

Some of my goals that I have set for myself this semester include, but are not limited to:

• Developing my skills in digital & free hand drafting
• Progress my skill in presenting my projects
• Develop skills in graphic design in relation to my Arch. projects
• Exceed expectations with my projects

Those all seem to be attainable goals and it would be fantastic to achieve them all!
