A great number of today’s workforce is comprised of the Millennials, who have very different expectations for…

well will attest that the change in me throughout this experience is drastic. Theatre transports me to places I couldn’t dream of otherwise and two years ago, I was taken to a place that would change my life forever and theatre transformed to the place I call home. Thoughts and ideas flooded my mind as I stepped into the off-green colored cafeteria. Memories of small theatre camp productions popped up and filled me with both excitement and anxiousness.

A commercial cooking school I designed on a natural hill site has very strong links to the style of organic architecture with natural materials used and the building itself almost growing out of the site, working with it instead of against it. My design not only has these links to the organic architecture style present throughout the modernist era, but also shows links to the linearity seen in hundreds of modernist buildings, and those that fit into both these…

My aim is to come up with a design that meets the brief as well as satisfies both artistic and practical aspects. Design a 1 bedroom eco-lodge. The cliens are a young couple who are environmentally consious and artistic. The area is a rectangular shaped block of 12m x 6m. The design needs to reflect the designs of either a well-known architect or era of architecture. The American Radiator Building (also known as The American Standard Building) was built in Manhattan, New York City in 1924.…
