Scissor Lift Model

My first project using a 3D printer alongside Rhino was to model and print a working model of a Scissor Lift. This required that I print off each individual component, scale it down to the size of the model it was intended for and consistently adjust small details about each piece so that it could move and stand appropriately. There are no images of the finished model, but all the different components are displayed below.

Lougheed Building Renderings

During my co-op term, I was asked to assist with some rendering in Rhino for the Penthouse of the Lougheed Building in Downtown Calgary. This included choosing materials, formatting baseboards and generating tables according to the dimension spaces. This project serves as my first major rendering project done in Rhino.

Widow Model

My final project during my co-op term tasked me with creating a scale model of a well-known piece of artwork. The piece is called Widow and is a large bear made from felted roses, crafted by Janice Wright Cheney. For this model, I could only use image references as I could not visit this piece on site. While I had limited time for this project, it was ultimately very challenging and fun to complete.

Arch and Shell Physical Model

As the majority of my degree has been online due to COVID-19, this was one of the only instances that I was able to create a physical model during my school terms. I chose to create an array of arches using wood and hold them together using fabric. This project was interesting as it was a really fun application of both architecture and structural engineering.

Pavillion Rendering

The major project which occurred during this school term involved the design and rendering of a pavilion to be placed in Waterloo Park. With little experience in Rhino at the beginning of this term, this project allowed me to develop and refine my skills in 3D modelling programs and was a creative experiment in texture and shape.
