About
This introduction to the fundamentals of architectural drawing, model-building, planning, and town mapping focuses on hands-on activities and a group project. You'll gain an understanding of how architects shape the world around them.
- Day 1: Introduction to architecture and drawings — floor plans.
- Day 2: Drawing elevations and sections.
- Day 3: Platonic solids (a geometry term you'll learn), architecture structures, and model building.
- Day 4: Town planning and Nolli Map concepts (a Nolli Map is a unique map that highlights the relationship between public and private spaces and focuses on accessibility and flow). We'll sketch a rough draft of the Bainbridge Island city map together.
- Day 5: We'll create the final Bainbridge Island map in the Nolli Map style.

Artist statement: As an artist, I believe that art is a powerful mode of communication that goes beyond words. My passion for architecture and music, coupled with my travels, has instilled in me a deep interest in understanding how human beings experience and interact with their environment. For me, every painting is a new adventure in discovering unique ideas, concepts, and techniques; each artwork tells a different story and presents both intellectual and practical challenges. Through my art, I strive to explore the depths of the human experience and bring new perspectives to light.
