PROGRAM LAYOUT WAS CRUCIAL TO THE OVERALL FORM OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
WITHIN MY DESIGN I PROVIDE A BALANCE BETWEEN PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND INCOME
GENERATING SPACES.

RENDERINGS 05
RENDERINGS ARE UNIQUE IN THAT THEY ARE THE MOST COMPLEX TO GENERATE, HOWEVER THEY ARE
THE EASIEST FOR OTHERS TO UNDERSTAND . RENDERINGS ALLOW THE DESIGNER TO BRING THE
PROJECT TO LIFE AND EXPERIENCE IN 3D.
