Site Research & Precedent Studies / ARCH 3011 Spring 2025

Year: 2025

Category: Sketches & Renders

Skills: Illustrator, AutoCAD, Rhino, InDesign, CADmapper, Model Making

This exercise consisted of a site model and drawings. It was a two-week group project. I was part of the model-making crew alongside one other group member. The model is made out of chipboard and has some wooden elements. The topography was found on CADmapper and was further edited using Rhino. The entire model ended up being 24" x 30." The site model will be used later in the semester to test different massing ideas.

Precedent Study


The following is a precedent study that was done alongside the construction of the site model. I chose to study the Aquifer Recharge Plant, located in Cape Town, South Africa. Using the floor plans, several analysis studies were done to further inspire a future design for a later date.
