Entire Behavioral Setting Model

Aerial view of entire behavioral setting model.

Another Behavioral Setting View

I like views that are a little above eye level because then you feel like you are almost in the scene.

Behavioral Setting- inside view

This is a view of my behavioral setting project without the roof on. You can see how the second floor works with the rest of the house downstairs.

Final Behavioral Setting!!!

Final Industrial Design

This is my finalized industrial design.  The joints worked well on all the areas, and it did not take too long to build. It turned out like my model and ended up being what I had had in mind.

Finalized Logo

This is my logo that I have decided on. I worked with the positive and negative spaces.

Initial Logo Designs

Corrections: I need to make my logos less literal, and now start to pick out one and create multiple versions of it using positive and negative space.

Perception- Achitecture Symposium

Today at the Architecture Symposium, I went to Ann McNamara's lecture on screen tiling, Sarel Lavey's lecture on interior wall finishes, and Liliana Beltran's lecture on daylight qualities in buildings; all in the perception section of the symposium.

Ann McNamara talked about a study they are doing that includes immersive systems and much more expensive systems, trying to prove that Dr. Parke's immersive system is just as efficient as the more expensive systems.  The pro was that it is cheaper, but the con was the seems visible because of the use of LCD TVs placed on their sides for the virtual world they were creating.  They tested small, medium, and large seem sizes, and the results were that the immersive system worked better with medium and large seems, medium ended up being the best.  She then went on about future experiments including having people go through the 3D world and drawing the 2D plan, heading back a soccer ball on the wii, and using a driving simulator with obstacles.  I thought the experiment that they did was very effective because they got the results they were looking for, and I think it would be fun to try the next experiment, drawing the floorplan of a virtual world.

Sarel Lavey talked about the importance of interior wall finishes.  He defined that designers design, owners make decisions, and facility managers maintain.  An important aspect that he made clear was that interior wall finishings contribute to 1/3 of the life cycle of total costs of a building (initial and maintaining costs).  They gave their owners (people dealing with surgery units, patient units, and emergency units) a questionaire (Wilcoxon Rank Test) to rank the different interior wall finishes and critiques.  Vinyl II (interior wall finish) and infection control (critiques) were the number one ranked.  I thought it was a good idea to have the people receiving the service to be the ones that ranked them, this was a good experiment because it showed the same results for all three areas (surgery, patient, emergency) which shows that these interior wall finishing and critique ranks would work the best.

Liliana Beltran talked about how lighting was implemented in three different buildings in the Houston area.  The Kirksey Headquarters had large windows on the South and smaller windows on the North, along with skylights, and a West side addition.  The Spawglass had larger windows on the Northeast side and smaller windows on the Southwest, along with the use of central natural light and used glass walls with exterior shading on the Southeast side.  The Satterfield & Pontikes used sidelighting on all sides of the building, with exterior shading being a key component in this building.  The LEED simulation was used to determine sunlight percentage in buildings, and luminance maps were conducted to show light in photographs of interior sections of the buildings.  I think using the luminance maps help get a better picture to portray where and how much light is being casted into the buildings. 

Overall this was a good section to go to because it included three areas- Visualization, Construction Science, and Architecture

Industrial Design Dimensions

I think I have decided on this design for my final piece.  I worked with the dimensions and I should have a little extra material left over.

Editted Behavioral Setting

In my editting, I extended the kitchen, sitting, and the handicapped bedroom.  This gave it a less square look and allowed for a different view when actually walking around the wrap around porch.

Research for micro dwelling location

Almost like a mini beach house... tent rooms in the back for a more outdoor approach.

Altered Bookshelf

Here are a few adjustments I've made to my bookshelf for my Industrial Design project.

The Third House!!!

The third house on the post right before this is my house back in Fort Worth.  When I was taking my drafting class in highschool I thought it would be neat to take dimensions of my own house and go use ChiefArchitect to design it from scratch.  It worked out really well and one main reason why I thought it was so cool was because it was like taking a virtual tour of my own home. :) Above is what my living room and kitchen look like, to the closest match.

Past Experience with my highschool Architecture Drafting class!!!

In this class we learned how to use AutoCAD and ChiefArchitect.  I designed six houses this past year and really enjoyed the class. Here are some images from my designs.

One of my Industrial Designs

My cousin taught me how to draw these vines when I was little and ever since then I have tended to incorporate them into my artwork.

Many different measurements!!!!!

Funny Continuous Line Drawings haha
