Desert Rocks

So I have officially graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design (and Magna Cum Laude at that). Now to finish my self applause, I have photographs of a product design project from a ceramics course I just finished.

Henry Leon Charbonnier Performing Arts Centre

I apologize for the lack of posts, but I have officially finished my senior exit project! I have designed the Henry Leon Charbonnier Performing Arts Centre for Athens, Georgia. The space features two concert halls, the 750 seat Albert F. Ligotti Hall and the 190 seat Studio Theatre. The lobby of the complex inhabits the Old Clarke County Jail, and an additional structure has been designed for the two theaters. The concept behind the project is a community connection to both the building and to music itself. The forms of the building evoke a musical score with gradations in forms and juxtapositions of delicacy and strength. The following images are my large 3' x 7' banners for the exhibition. I'll be updating my website with this project soon, and I'll add large images of the drawings and renderings.

Pods + Treehouses

Pacific Environments of New Zealand have designed pod-like treehouses sitting 33 feet high in redwood trees. I love the wrapping of the wood to enclose the pod without a literal fully enclosed shell.

My New Website

I completed my first portfolio website. To view it, click here. I really like how it has come together.

Concert Hall Concept Image

I've been working diligently on my senior exit project, a concert hall located in Athens, Georgia. I wanted to share my concept image to portray the types of sculptural forms I've been studying during this project.

Also, I've been building a website of my work and will share when it is completed.

Old Clarke County Jail Site

This is the Old Clarke County Jail in Athens.  This jail will be the site of my (hypothetical) concert hall I'm designing for my exit project.  French architect Leon Henry Charbonnier designed the jail in 1876 in the Second Empire architectural style. I'll post updates as they come.

Geometric Forms

Since completing our very geometric South African school project, I keep finding really great architecture comprised of varying geometric shapes. Here are some favorites of mine from my endless pinteresting and blogging.
