“we must first learn the discipline
which teaches us the true relationship
between ourselves
and our surroundings.”

Mylar Layered Rendering:

This drawing had been the primary medium for site analysis and layout. Drawing was continuously developed over the 6 months of project development. Drawing approx. 3'x3' and consists of 4 layered renderings stacked up.

 

 

 

Initial Capstone Project Proposal:

In 2004, I spent the summer on site doing research and documentation of the landscape and precedent studies within the region to support the concept of completely site specific design. This booklet is the proposal issued for approval prior to beginning my thesis.
