Laptop Zone

I got to know a lot about laptops when I was deciding on what laptop to get. Through the research I saw amazing brands of laptop especially Gaming laptop.

With the knowledge I gained I also helped my friends in deciding what laptop to get and it was helpful.

So having a brand with different laptops that best suits people is what I like.

The creative touchstone of the places I have lived is street art. The bottom picture is a commission mural by Kiptoe done in 2021 in the Fulton Market area of Chicago. The mural has importance to me as I watch the artist on YouTube and his style of art has a distinct color palette and the meaning of his artwork is usually based on what the viewer interprets, however it sometimes has elements tied to the building it is on (advertisement). The top two pieces are from the Alston area near where I live right now in Boston. Street art can have negative implications tied to is as vandalism or abandoned buildings and crime. In my opinion street art is a way for the artist to express their style and feelings (or to advertise) and for the viewer to interpret that artwork in different ways.

What I have learned about myself is that whether I’m walking to class, shopping, or exploring a new neighborhood street art gives a moment of pause and admiration in an area. It adds color and interest in cities and towns that may have all the buildings built using the same materials or similar dull materials. As future architects we sometimes see street art as a problem but it can be as a way to add color, interest, creativity, and community involvement in parallel with our creative design.

This is the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex (ISEC) Northeast University. As we can see in the sketch it is the Reflected ceiling plan of the building which has a skylight in the center of the structure. I like this because it is in a way connected to the nature. The skylight in a building can symbolize the relationship between the structure and nature in architecture by serving as a connection between the built environment and the natural world. This element allows natural light to penetrate the interior, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. It can represent the harmony and integration of the building with its surroundings, emphasizing the importance of nature in architectural design. Also the skylights are aesthetically pleasing, contributing to the overall design and character of the building.

Paper weaving

For this paper weaving exercise, I started with cutting out a pink heart because everything I do I try to lead with love and kindness. I chose the color pink because I feel it best expresses my personality full of love, warmth, sweetness, and femininity. I used three different ribbons with varying shades and textures to represent different parts of my life, myself, school, and my work. All of these pieces weave together and are connected to work together to provide value and purpose to my life. I feel the most whole when I am actively engaging in work, school, community service, being supportive to my family and friends, and when I am creating. My future is weighing heavy on my mind as I try to navigate my career change into architecture. I received my undergraduate degree in social work and worked in that field but as soon as I finished undergraduate I was pulled to my creative pursuits again. Then I started exploring blogging and started my own clothing and home goods brand, All Things Pretty. This was creatively fulfilling but required a lot of self discipline and was lonely at times. Then I ended up in architecture school to receive the design education I always wanted to pursue. Parts of my identity I have been told to reject are my femininity which I now see is my superpower. I don’t have to wear all black or create neutral designs to fit in or be taken seriously. I can design with pink and colors and my unique perspective because putting my heart into everything I do is what creates something unique. BAC has always encouraged me to express my true self and I am forever grateful for this experience and all of the wonderful teachers, students, and friends I have made that have encouraged me to be true authentic self.

I am always attracted to plants and trees everywhere I go. I love nature and the natural art that God created. When I took my daughter to the nearby garden to play, I found these trees and I found a lot of nuts at the ground. At first I thought these were chestnuts and I was so happy to find these because I love chestnuts, but I discovered that they were inedible after a quick research 😂 A short, sad story, haha
