Design Research on Designers

Designers Design Research

Wallace E. Cunningham

Wallace E. Cunningham utilizes state of the art materials in his projects. i really like how his architecture is very streamline and stays the same all throughout the entire design.
Steven Ehrlich

Steven Ehrlich has won seven AIA awards. what he is most known for is his mud and thatch experimental theater in Zaria, Nigeria. in 2003 his firm was named firm of the year.
Savin Couelle

Savin Couelle has a very unique design style. i thoroughly enjoy his use of curves and different shapes in his architecture.
Richard Landry

Richard Landry is best known for designing large scale houses for many famous clients like Eddie Murphy. his designs are based on functionality and how the home owner will use it over the years.
Michael Graves

Michael Graves is not a typical architect. he doesn't only design the houses, but he covers every detail of the house, including sustainability and functionality as well as aesthetics.
Margaret McCurry

Margaret McCurry doesn't believe in the theory that, "Bigger is better." Instead, she likes to think that the uniqueness of a house is better and it is shown through the personality of her clients. I really like this house because it truly stands out from it's environment.
Marco Aldaco

Marco Aldaco designs his homes so that they fit in with the environment around them so they don't stick out like a sore thumb. he only uses the basic materials because he finds them more practical and cheaper.

Edward Tuttle

Edward Tuttle designs furniture and accessories for hotels and some residences. Even though he was educated as an architect, he likes to design interiors and furniture.

Diego Villasenor

Diego Villasenor is a residential designer based in Mexico. he believes that his houses should reflect the environment that is around them and that light plays a huge factor in how the house looks.

Antoine Predock

I really like how Antoine uses line in his structures to create really cool effects with shadows. His firm builds all kinds of structures from houses to museums .

the shade

2007-10-25T07:55:00.000-07:00

we learned how to do new shading techniques in class

the metamorphasis

2007-10-11T20:59:00.001-07:00

in class we were given an assignment to merge two other classmate's project into one and to also do two more iterations to show the development over time. i chose Nacarra's pencil box and Sarah Easterling's memory container to work with. enjoy...

the memory

2007-10-02T18:17:00.000-07:00

our assignment was to create an object that contains a memory of ours. mine was of the first time that i heard an acoustic guitar. the lines represent the different sound waves coming together to form a beautiful chord. each line is layered so that it shows the depth of the sound.

the zine

2007-10-02T10:52:00.000-07:00

in class we had to make a short magazine ( a zine ) on 10 architectural buildings. (mine reads from right to left, just for fun.) enjoy...

the white on black

2007-09-27T08:31:00.000-07:00

in class we learned how to draw faces from the front. our assignment was to draw ourselves on a black sheet of paper, in a dark area, with only one light shining from the side. it really made us focus on shadows. enjoy

the Box for the Pencil

2007-09-20T18:51:00.000-07:00

in our design class, we were assigned the task of creating a box for our pencils... enjoy

pro-fee-lay portraits

2007-09-19T22:23:00.000-07:00

i like spelling things wired (weird). just a side thought. we started drawing profile busts in class and here are the four i did... enjoy

peepal contours

2007-09-19T22:18:00.000-07:00

so, i drew some people. i like the one where the guy is just chillin in the shades. it looks chill...enjoy

daoouun taoouun G-Boro

2007-09-19T22:13:00.000-07:00

Here are four drawings I did of places ar0und downtown greensboro, NC. enjoy

shots of stuff

2007-09-11T15:25:00.000-07:00

sometimes i like to go out into nature and take pictures of cool things. i like these two so i thought i'd share. i have more, but i need to get them from my camera. enjoy...

the negative bike

2007-09-11T15:23:00.000-07:00

this is a bike that we had to draw a negative contour of. it took a long long time. Pedal to the Metal!

the other

2007-09-11T15:20:00.000-07:00

heres the last drawing, it was of the science building. we then had to go back and re-draw it to make it prettier. the one on top is shot #2

places on campus

2007-09-11T15:17:00.000-07:00

so we had to draw three places on campus, here are the first two

blind contours...fun!

2007-09-11T15:16:00.000-07:00

so we had to draw our hand, blind contour style!

jame's shoe

2007-09-11T15:14:00.000-07:00

so our first drawing assignment was to draw someone's foot. jame's looked ok, so i drew it.

2007-09-03T17:33:00.000-07:00

I really liked Tommy Kane's work on his blog. I appreciated how he could just sketch freely without being a perfectionist and his work turns out amazingly. What really stood out to me in his art work was his abstract take on things and his use of color to make his drawings really jump out to catch your attention.
