Favorite Sketch

I was told that our sketches could be of varying quality, so I didn't chose my most amazing sketch. In fact, this sketch isn't that great, but I really enjoyed sketching it, and I think that is what matters. This was at Vaux le Vicomte, my favorite place we visited on our trip, and it reminds me of the gardens when we were wating for the candlelight tour to begin. That is why I chose this as my favorite sketch, the fountain and the statue in the gardens at Vaux, because of the experience I had when I was sketching it!

Pamphlet For Sustainable Ojects Museum

Along with our sustainable object, we had to design a museum exhibit to display our object. With our exhibit we had to design a pamphlet with wayfinding of all the other exhibits as well. So here my pamphlet...



My inspiration for this pamphlet came entirely from the fact that I wanted it to be as simple as possible for people to find their way through a muesum. I found that when I went to some museums that I felt very overwhelmed by the jumble of exhibits and items to see. I just wanted to create a flowing walk way through the entire museum and exhibits. I also provided a restroom and cafe, because they were immensly appreciated on our journeys through museums. I also color coated the symbol of the group with the matching colors on their exhibits.

Sustainable Object

As most of you know, our theme for this journey was sustainability. For our first sustainability assignment we were asked to design an object that could be used in our group. I am in the marvelous light group and here is my sustainable lighting object.



Now, I know what you are thinking, but this is not just any old skylight. I designed this object to optimize the use of natural light in a residence, or a business. My inspiration for this object, in complete honesty, was that I hated that there was no natural light in a lot of older buildings we visited while we were abroad. This object I have designed is powered by natural light. The light comes through the windows and reflects off of the panels, as you can see. These reflective panels transfer light to other parts of the room. The panels have heat sensors that rotate along with the path of the sun throughout the day. Not only do these panels reflect light, but they store the energy from the light as well to power the rotation they go through throughout the day. Never again will a skylight leave a little patch of light on the floor, but completely fill a room!
