For this project, I was kinda going for a Sci-Fi feel, kind of like the game Call of Duty. I went downtown and saw a lot of buildings, not really sure where I was going with it at first but then I finally got it. I want this to be darkish, fantasy look.

My concept was to create a house out of something that obviously isn't a house. I wanted to make it look like something that could actually be real, that one could just find while walking along.

The Guardian - After a devastating catastrophe, all that remained in the gardens of a palace was a swing set that belonged to the child of a royal family. Being a lonely child and playing on this swing set with no one to push her, her only true friends were the statues that loomed over her in the gardens.

For this project I decided to blend an armory and a bank together with some cannons on the side. I didn't want to spell outright what they were so to me the cannons and the front pillars are hints to their origins. I wanted to use the bank and armory because I feel in today's society there is a lot of emphasis on violence, in news etc., and making money. Like the background, however, what results is an empty space for our future generations.

Project 2

I chose to combine a power plant and an old abandoned house. Our world has become so consumed with energy and being content in our homes at all times, but in doing this we are harming the environment and in some ways making the world more dangerous. I wanted to make fun of people in a sense that it would be a horrible idea to have a power plant connected to a house, but as long as they have the energy they need then that's all that matters to them, because that's what this world is turning into (based on selfish desires).

For this project I wanted to take various architectural structures and blend them into a mobile home. Mobile homes represent the lowest class in our culture and have always carried a stigma with them. I wanted to create an image that might provide a window into the perspective of the inhabitants. This particular mobile home lot is inhabited by immigrants who have come to the United States to experience a better life. To them, these living spaces are treasured and not at all the "last resort" in comparison to where they have come from. I think that every perspective has been influenced by culture and through this project I attempted to provide a space that may change the persepctive and bring it to a more neutral zone so that the audience that truly see the structure instead of the stigma.

For this project, I wanted to create a sort of playful fairy tale by creating little rock houses. I wish I had found different windows so that it would have looked a teeny bit more "upscale" sort of, but… I think overall it was fun and decent. If I had more time, I would have also liked to include a few more elements to make it more of a neighborhood, rather than two very close together houses.

Project 2 Architectural Blend

For this project, I drew a lot of inspiration from the form and structure of the Cinderella Castle in Disney World. 

I sought structures that reminded me of the famous castle and ended up using 4 churches and the Mcoll Center for Art. My main goal was to create something tall as well as something that could belong in a eerie dream or fantasy.

For this project, I combined photos of both my parents house and the small storage buildings around it, to create both a surreal and sort of "farmers dream house".  While not a farm, the buildings have that old southern farmhouse feel.  I imagine this being plucked straight from a farmers dream, rather than adding an ornate facade I left the buildings as is because I don't think a farmer would want a house with such decor.
