Portfolio Cover Designs for Design2.

Portfolio Cover Designs for Design2.



After trying a 3D approach, I decided to stick to a flat image for this project.
I could use some more practice with 3D imaging I think.

3D Design Projects in order

Wire Sculpture using as little wire as possible.

Change the surface of an object by gluing things to it.

Morphing project: Flower into an Octopus eating people.



Motion Project: Fountain (it actually works, see video)

Color Weights Project: Make a block of wood very lightweight or heavyweight based on color.
(Mine was the Lightest Weight looking)


Plaster Sculpture: Showing a force coming from an object
(Lightning out of Elephants butt)









Random Sketches from Design 2 and 3D Design

A lot of Sketches from Design 2 and 3D Design from throughout the semester. 




















"Nate's" My new bar design!

This is my public building that i have been designing for Design 2. Starting at the top and moving down is the process of how it developed and the 3 pictures at the bottom are of the final. It starts out with just some sketches and moves into more detailed plans once i get my ideas set more solidly. If you read the picture of the paper, it will explain all of it.




























Public Bar and Pool by Nate Skinner 
Location: Maui, Hawaii 

20’ x 40’ Bar  
20’ x 40’ Pool 
20’ x 40’ Outdoor Semi-covered Seating Area 

Bar = Recycled wood, Stucco, Marble Bar Tops 
Pool = Concrete with a rubber liner 
Outdoor Seating = Retired Railroad Ties as the beams,
and Stumps for the Table/Stools 


Special Features: 

 The Salt Water Pool uses salt as its cleanser instead of toxic chemicals and it recycles ocean water as a means of replenishing itself when it gets low and when emptied for cleaning purposes. 

The open air style of the Bar and Seating Area help conserve energy by using the natural breeze off of the ocean as a cooler and there is no heater needed being in a tropical environment.
