Archicad-Can't believe I done this in 2days:)

We had to complete this training guide, and by doing so completing this huge building that I found very intimidating just by looking at it. The training guide consists of 10 chapters that has to be completed.

And i thought I would literally take a month to finish, because that was the time most students got to complete the task..

But yeah I guess if you really want something you can achieve it.

Here are rendered pics of the building.

This is merely the beginning of my Archicad adventures:) Super excited

Yoga Lounge-Wellness Centre

The Yoga lounge is a Wellness centre I designed, we had to find an actual space that was To let, as well as measure and redesign the actual building. I designed the logo and presentations on Coral draw and the plans were done on Revit.

This is a small portion of my design concept.

The Poets Platform-Miriam Makeba

This was one of my first year assignments, when I had to design a small Amphitheatre for people to enjoy.


This design was very playful with the use of glass and steel to bring the building to life. This building was correctly proportioned according to all anthropometrics and ergonomics rules and regulations, as well as taking into consideration the accoustics of the building.


Below is one portion of  the presentation.

Fashion Architecture

These are a few designs that I find interesting involving FASHION AND ARCHITECTURE!

The Bold shapes and contours of the material used, causes it to become an amazing design,which could be referred back to as architecture. I see great potential in these designs for future sky scrapers, or any building for that matter.
