FLORENCE-LAUDERDALE | KD Design Portfolio

I chose to create all perspectives for this project by hand. I selected this rendering tactic to showcase drawing skills and time management throughout the course.

This rendering is of the coffee bar area located in the main part of the center. The colors in the flooring, paint selections, countertops all contribute to the culture-rich aesthetic this building produces.

This rendering along with all others within this project was completed using Procreate/Adobe Illustrator.

EXHIBIT HAND RENDERING

This perspective of the exhibit area represents what this entire design is centered around. The Cherokee Indian culture is deep rooted and contains so many cultural aesthetics that I chose to incorporate in as many elements of this space as possible.

The exhibit room serves as an open, easy to navigate space that is equipped with proper artifacts and narratives to inform all those who interact with the space.

LEED CERTIFICATION POINTS + DESIGN ELEMENTS

This course focused on sustainable design. I gained knowledge and insight in what creates a successful "green" design. During this studio, I researched and gained the skills on how to make selections, incorporate tools, and space plan to gain the structure a LEED certification. Here I have included the Project Checklist that displays the points earned from this project.

Below, there are different elements where these LEED characteristics can be found within the overall design of this space.
