SketchUP

For unit 7 we were asked to use our AutoCAD documents we previously created to be used as an aid in develop a 3D model of our site through the use of SketchUP. Here are some of the images taken directly from the model.

This image is an aerial view of my site:



This image is a perspective view showing the backyard area:


This image is a plan view of the entire site:


This image is a section cut through my site.  This section cut also shows the formation of my vegetated swale.   This green infrastructure is created by the formation of topography sloping upwards around the driveway and home.  This formation of topography creates a small depression where water can be more properly managed in the swale instead of running off the site at a fast rate.

AutoCAD :)

Here is my final AutoCAD project for Unit 6.  For this project we were asked to practice our  AutoCAD skills learned throughout the past week.  This project situated several elements of a residential landscape together.  I used various layers to draw the various elements of the residential space.  Also the use of line weights creates depth and a make the drawing more user friendly to understand.

Unit 5b Final



Here are the final three presentation boards for Unit 5b.  Board number one describes the analysis completed at the Muncie Fairgrounds.  Topics such as storm water run-off, circulation, open space, and views into the sight were completed.  Board number two shows before and after section/perspectives along key areas around the fairgrounds.  Finally board number 3 displays a day and night perspective of what the site could look like.
