Architectural Glass

Architectural Glass is mainly used as a building material, most commonly used as a transparent glazing material (ex: windows). Architectural glass is not only beautiful but it is incredibly strong as well as safe. Architectural glass has a long lasting life cycle and can be recycled as well as made out of recycled products. Architectural glass also has the ability to be energy efficient. Architectural glass is made of Sio2 (Silica Sand), Na2O (Sodium Oxide), CaO (Calcium Oxide), MgO (Dolomite), Al2O3 (Feldspar). The earliest forms of Architectural Glass were made in Rome and were far to costly for the average person so only the most important buildings and churches had Architectural glass. Architectural glass has become a very heavily used material that is used all over the world and is manufactured everywhere. Architectural glass has the ability to be made into all types of things such as windows, showers, and railings. Recently designers have started to create walls almost entirely out of architectural glass.

Part 2 Dream Project

Dream Project part 2

In the second part of my project, I wanted to really expand on the first part of the project, and take my small sketchbook and recreate it but bigger and in more detail in the form of large mood boards or collages. When I dream what I remember most is how I felt during it, I did my best to replicate that by adding items in the collages to feed off of one’s senses. I made these collages or mood boards more to explain my emotions during the dream rather than telling the story of the dreams like in my sketchbook where I told the story. I looked up interpretations to my most vivid dreams in order to explore further and understand what my subconscious was really trying to tell me.

Trash reflection

Through this project, I began to realize to the extent of how badly my friends and I eat. I have recycled my whole life so I did not find it hard or shocking. But what did shock me was just exactly how much trash we consume and how bad our diets are. I would like for my meals to be 50% compostable (not packaged meals).
