Residential Renderings
Hand Renderings April McGee Flournoy HFCC Dearborn
Residential rendering is an integration of architecture and the environment on which it sets These hand renderings accentuate how the residential and landscape design compliment each other in a harmonious manner
Hand rendered drawings communicate depth texture and helps the viewer visualize the finished architectural and landscape designs These drawings were composed of techniques that utilize a variety of mediums such as Prismacolor pencils and markers Rapidoraph technical ink pens and Dewert graphiite pencils Architectural drafting techniques were used to draw the architectural elements Afterward the landscaping was developed with freehand drawing and a combination of pen pencil and marker rendering techniques
Concept Development
06 Lounge Rhythm Concept
Concept Development Design
Lounge Rhythm Concept April McGee Flournoy WSU Detroit
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat and the repetition of visual movement Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements adjacent to each other A variety of rhythmic elements or motifs produce an exciting visual aesthetic and is void of monotony When motifs or elements are repeated alternated or arranged in a composition the intervals between them or how they overlap can create rhythm and a sense of movement Rhythms can be described as random regular alternating flowing and progressive Grouping similar repeating motifs or elements without regularity create a random rhythm Architect Frank Gheryrsquos design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Frederick Art Museum in Minneapolis depict random flowing rhythm movement The stainless steel facades fabricated in a brick like pattern and cohesively formed provide linear rhythmic appeal as your eye moves from one element to another The same harmony occurs in group performances worship and festivals
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements next each other Design harmony for a proposed commercial lounge was developed through a variety of linear and circular shapes and complimentary colors A colorful rhythmic painting is the focal point or inspiration for the interior design scheme When you admire the artwork you feel the implied rhythm of body movement and color The abstract shapes and lines compliment the placement of colors and produce a type of melody The challenge of the design was to compose the perfect shapes and colors in a harmonic way so that the sound of music is imagined This was achieved through the colors and pattern selection of the textiles walls flooring derived from the artwork Carefully selected materials convey a rhythmic dancing movement seen in modern architecture markets where crafts and merchandise are displayed and In performance art and festivals

Hand Renderings April McGee Flournoy HFCC Dearborn
Residential rendering is an integration of architecture and the environment on which it sets These hand renderings accentuate how the residential and landscape design compliment each other in a harmonious manner
Hand rendered drawings communicate depth texture and helps the viewer visualize the finished architectural and landscape designs These drawings were composed of techniques that utilize a variety of mediums such as Prismacolor pencils and markers Rapidoraph technical ink pens and Dewert graphiite pencils Architectural drafting techniques were used to draw the architectural elements Afterward the landscaping was developed with freehand drawing and a combination of pen pencil and marker rendering techniques

Concept Development Design
Lounge Rhythm Concept April McGee Flournoy WSU Detroit
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat and the repetition of visual movement Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements adjacent to each other A variety of rhythmic elements or motifs produce an exciting visual aesthetic and is void of monotony When motifs or elements are repeated alternated or arranged in a composition the intervals between them or how they overlap can create rhythm and a sense of movement Rhythms can be described as random regular alternating flowing and progressive Grouping similar repeating motifs or elements without regularity create a random rhythm Architect Frank Gheryrsquos design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Frederick Art Museum in Minneapolis depict random flowing rhythm movement The stainless steel facades fabricated in a brick like pattern and cohesively formed provide linear rhythmic appeal as your eye moves from one element to another The same harmony occurs in group performances worship and festivals
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements next each other Design harmony for a proposed commercial lounge was developed through a variety of linear and circular shapes and complimentary colors A colorful rhythmic painting is the focal point or inspiration for the interior design scheme When you admire the artwork you feel the implied rhythm of body movement and color The abstract shapes and lines compliment the placement of colors and produce a type of melody The challenge of the design was to compose the perfect shapes and colors in a harmonic way so that the sound of music is imagined This was achieved through the colors and pattern selection of the textiles walls flooring derived from the artwork Carefully selected materials convey a rhythmic dancing movement seen in modern architecture markets where crafts and merchandise are displayed and In performance art and festivals

Lounge Rhythm Concept April McGee Flournoy WSU Detroit
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat and the repetition of visual movement Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements adjacent to each other A variety of rhythmic elements or motifs produce an exciting visual aesthetic and is void of monotony When motifs or elements are repeated alternated or arranged in a composition the intervals between them or how they overlap can create rhythm and a sense of movement Rhythms can be described as random regular alternating flowing and progressive Grouping similar repeating motifs or elements without regularity create a random rhythm Architect Frank Gheryrsquos design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Frederick Art Museum in Minneapolis depict random flowing rhythm movement The stainless steel facades fabricated in a brick like pattern and cohesively formed provide linear rhythmic appeal as your eye moves from one element to another The same harmony occurs in group performances worship and festivals
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements next each other Design harmony for a proposed commercial lounge was developed through a variety of linear and circular shapes and complimentary colors A colorful rhythmic painting is the focal point or inspiration for the interior design scheme When you admire the artwork you feel the implied rhythm of body movement and color The abstract shapes and lines compliment the placement of colors and produce a type of melody The challenge of the design was to compose the perfect shapes and colors in a harmonic way so that the sound of music is imagined This was achieved through the colors and pattern selection of the textiles walls flooring derived from the artwork Carefully selected materials convey a rhythmic dancing movement seen in modern architecture markets where crafts and merchandise are displayed and In performance art and festivals

Lounge Rhythm Concept April McGee Flournoy WSU Detroit
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat and the repetition of visual movement Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements adjacent to each other A variety of rhythmic elements or motifs produce an exciting visual aesthetic and is void of monotony When motifs or elements are repeated alternated or arranged in a composition the intervals between them or how they overlap can create rhythm and a sense of movement Rhythms can be described as random regular alternating flowing and progressive Grouping similar repeating motifs or elements without regularity create a random rhythm Architect Frank Gheryrsquos design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Frederick Art Museum in Minneapolis depict random flowing rhythm movement The stainless steel facades fabricated in a brick like pattern and cohesively formed provide linear rhythmic appeal as your eye moves from one element to another The same harmony occurs in group performances worship and festivals
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements next each other Design harmony for a proposed commercial lounge was developed through a variety of linear and circular shapes and complimentary colors A colorful rhythmic painting is the focal point or inspiration for the interior design scheme When you admire the artwork you feel the implied rhythm of body movement and color The abstract shapes and lines compliment the placement of colors and produce a type of melody The challenge of the design was to compose the perfect shapes and colors in a harmonic way so that the sound of music is imagined This was achieved through the colors and pattern selection of the textiles walls flooring derived from the artwork Carefully selected materials convey a rhythmic dancing movement seen in modern architecture markets where crafts and merchandise are displayed and In performance art and festivals

Hand Renderings April McGee Flournoy HFCC Dearborn
Residential rendering is an integration of architecture and the environment on which it sets These hand renderings accentuate how the residential and landscape design compliment each other in a harmonious manner
Hand rendered drawings communicate depth texture and helps the viewer visualize the finished architectural and landscape designs These drawings were composed of techniques that utilize a variety of mediums such as Prismacolor pencils and markers Rapidoraph technical ink pens and Dewert graphiite pencils Architectural drafting techniques were used to draw the architectural elements Afterward the landscaping was developed with freehand drawing and a combination of pen pencil and marker rendering techniques

Lounge Rhythm Concept April McGee Flournoy WSU Detroit
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat and the repetition of visual movement Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements adjacent to each other A variety of rhythmic elements or motifs produce an exciting visual aesthetic and is void of monotony When motifs or elements are repeated alternated or arranged in a composition the intervals between them or how they overlap can create rhythm and a sense of movement Rhythms can be described as random regular alternating flowing and progressive Grouping similar repeating motifs or elements without regularity create a random rhythm Architect Frank Gheryrsquos design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Frederick Art Museum in Minneapolis depict random flowing rhythm movement The stainless steel facades fabricated in a brick like pattern and cohesively formed provide linear rhythmic appeal as your eye moves from one element to another The same harmony occurs in group performances worship and festivals
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements next each other Design harmony for a proposed commercial lounge was developed through a variety of linear and circular shapes and complimentary colors A colorful rhythmic painting is the focal point or inspiration for the interior design scheme When you admire the artwork you feel the implied rhythm of body movement and color The abstract shapes and lines compliment the placement of colors and produce a type of melody The challenge of the design was to compose the perfect shapes and colors in a harmonic way so that the sound of music is imagined This was achieved through the colors and pattern selection of the textiles walls flooring derived from the artwork Carefully selected materials convey a rhythmic dancing movement seen in modern architecture markets where crafts and merchandise are displayed and In performance art and festivals

Concept Development Design
Lounge Rhythm Concept April McGee Flournoy WSU Detroit
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat and the repetition of visual movement Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements adjacent to each other A variety of rhythmic elements or motifs produce an exciting visual aesthetic and is void of monotony When motifs or elements are repeated alternated or arranged in a composition the intervals between them or how they overlap can create rhythm and a sense of movement Rhythms can be described as random regular alternating flowing and progressive Grouping similar repeating motifs or elements without regularity create a random rhythm Architect Frank Gheryrsquos design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Frederick Art Museum in Minneapolis depict random flowing rhythm movement The stainless steel facades fabricated in a brick like pattern and cohesively formed provide linear rhythmic appeal as your eye moves from one element to another The same harmony occurs in group performances worship and festivals
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements next each other Design harmony for a proposed commercial lounge was developed through a variety of linear and circular shapes and complimentary colors A colorful rhythmic painting is the focal point or inspiration for the interior design scheme When you admire the artwork you feel the implied rhythm of body movement and color The abstract shapes and lines compliment the placement of colors and produce a type of melody The challenge of the design was to compose the perfect shapes and colors in a harmonic way so that the sound of music is imagined This was achieved through the colors and pattern selection of the textiles walls flooring derived from the artwork Carefully selected materials convey a rhythmic dancing movement seen in modern architecture markets where crafts and merchandise are displayed and In performance art and festivals

Lounge Rhythm Concept April McGee Flournoy WSU Detroit
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat and the repetition of visual movement Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements adjacent to each other A variety of rhythmic elements or motifs produce an exciting visual aesthetic and is void of monotony When motifs or elements are repeated alternated or arranged in a composition the intervals between them or how they overlap can create rhythm and a sense of movement Rhythms can be described as random regular alternating flowing and progressive Grouping similar repeating motifs or elements without regularity create a random rhythm Architect Frank Gheryrsquos design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Frederick Art Museum in Minneapolis depict random flowing rhythm movement The stainless steel facades fabricated in a brick like pattern and cohesively formed provide linear rhythmic appeal as your eye moves from one element to another The same harmony occurs in group performances worship and festivals
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements next each other Design harmony for a proposed commercial lounge was developed through a variety of linear and circular shapes and complimentary colors A colorful rhythmic painting is the focal point or inspiration for the interior design scheme When you admire the artwork you feel the implied rhythm of body movement and color The abstract shapes and lines compliment the placement of colors and produce a type of melody The challenge of the design was to compose the perfect shapes and colors in a harmonic way so that the sound of music is imagined This was achieved through the colors and pattern selection of the textiles walls flooring derived from the artwork Carefully selected materials convey a rhythmic dancing movement seen in modern architecture markets where crafts and merchandise are displayed and In performance art and festivals

Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat and the repetition of visual movement Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements adjacent to each other A variety of rhythmic elements or motifs produce an exciting visual aesthetic and is void of monotony When motifs or elements are repeated alternated or arranged in a composition the intervals between them or how they overlap can create rhythm and a sense of movement Rhythms can be described as random regular alternating flowing and progressive Grouping similar repeating motifs or elements without regularity create a random rhythm Architect Frank Gheryrsquos design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Frederick Art Museum in Minneapolis depict random flowing rhythm movement The stainless steel facades fabricated in a brick like pattern and cohesively formed provide linear rhythmic appeal as your eye moves from one element to another The same harmony occurs in group performances worship and festivals
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements next each other Design harmony for a proposed commercial lounge was developed through a variety of linear and circular shapes and complimentary colors A colorful rhythmic painting is the focal point or inspiration for the interior design scheme When you admire the artwork you feel the implied rhythm of body movement and color The abstract shapes and lines compliment the placement of colors and produce a type of melody The challenge of the design was to compose the perfect shapes and colors in a harmonic way so that the sound of music is imagined This was achieved through the colors and pattern selection of the textiles walls flooring derived from the artwork Carefully selected materials convey a rhythmic dancing movement seen in modern architecture markets where crafts and merchandise are displayed and In performance art and festivals

Hand Renderings April McGee Flournoy HFCC Dearborn
Residential rendering is an integration of architecture and the environment on which it sets These hand renderings accentuate how the residential and landscape design compliment each other in a harmonious manner
Hand rendered drawings communicate depth texture and helps the viewer visualize the finished architectural and landscape designs These drawings were composed of techniques that utilize a variety of mediums such as Prismacolor pencils and markers Rapidoraph technical ink pens and Dewert graphiite pencils Architectural drafting techniques were used to draw the architectural elements Afterward the landscaping was developed with freehand drawing and a combination of pen pencil and marker rendering techniques

Lounge Rhythm Concept April McGee Flournoy WSU Detroit
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat and the repetition of visual movement Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements adjacent to each other A variety of rhythmic elements or motifs produce an exciting visual aesthetic and is void of monotony When motifs or elements are repeated alternated or arranged in a composition the intervals between them or how they overlap can create rhythm and a sense of movement Rhythms can be described as random regular alternating flowing and progressive Grouping similar repeating motifs or elements without regularity create a random rhythm Architect Frank Gheryrsquos design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Frederick Art Museum in Minneapolis depict random flowing rhythm movement The stainless steel facades fabricated in a brick like pattern and cohesively formed provide linear rhythmic appeal as your eye moves from one element to another The same harmony occurs in group performances worship and festivals
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements next each other Design harmony for a proposed commercial lounge was developed through a variety of linear and circular shapes and complimentary colors A colorful rhythmic painting is the focal point or inspiration for the interior design scheme When you admire the artwork you feel the implied rhythm of body movement and color The abstract shapes and lines compliment the placement of colors and produce a type of melody The challenge of the design was to compose the perfect shapes and colors in a harmonic way so that the sound of music is imagined This was achieved through the colors and pattern selection of the textiles walls flooring derived from the artwork Carefully selected materials convey a rhythmic dancing movement seen in modern architecture markets where crafts and merchandise are displayed and In performance art and festivals

Hand Renderings April McGee Flournoy HFCC Dearborn
Residential rendering is an integration of architecture and the environment on which it sets These hand renderings accentuate how the residential and landscape design compliment each other in a harmonious manner
Hand rendered drawings communicate depth texture and helps the viewer visualize the finished architectural and landscape designs These drawings were composed of techniques that utilize a variety of mediums such as Prismacolor pencils and markers Rapidoraph technical ink pens and Dewert graphiite pencils Architectural drafting techniques were used to draw the architectural elements Afterward the landscaping was developed with freehand drawing and a combination of pen pencil and marker rendering techniques

Lounge Rhythm Concept April McGee Flournoy WSU Detroit
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat and the repetition of visual movement Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements adjacent to each other A variety of rhythmic elements or motifs produce an exciting visual aesthetic and is void of monotony When motifs or elements are repeated alternated or arranged in a composition the intervals between them or how they overlap can create rhythm and a sense of movement Rhythms can be described as random regular alternating flowing and progressive Grouping similar repeating motifs or elements without regularity create a random rhythm Architect Frank Gheryrsquos design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Frederick Art Museum in Minneapolis depict random flowing rhythm movement The stainless steel facades fabricated in a brick like pattern and cohesively formed provide linear rhythmic appeal as your eye moves from one element to another The same harmony occurs in group performances worship and festivals
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements next each other Design harmony for a proposed commercial lounge was developed through a variety of linear and circular shapes and complimentary colors A colorful rhythmic painting is the focal point or inspiration for the interior design scheme When you admire the artwork you feel the implied rhythm of body movement and color The abstract shapes and lines compliment the placement of colors and produce a type of melody The challenge of the design was to compose the perfect shapes and colors in a harmonic way so that the sound of music is imagined This was achieved through the colors and pattern selection of the textiles walls flooring derived from the artwork Carefully selected materials convey a rhythmic dancing movement seen in modern architecture markets where crafts and merchandise are displayed and In performance art and festivals

Hand Renderings April McGee Flournoy HFCC Dearborn
Residential rendering is an integration of architecture and the environment on which it sets These hand renderings accentuate how the residential and landscape design compliment each other in a harmonious manner
Hand rendered drawings communicate depth texture and helps the viewer visualize the finished architectural and landscape designs These drawings were composed of techniques that utilize a variety of mediums such as Prismacolor pencils and markers Rapidoraph technical ink pens and Dewert graphiite pencils Architectural drafting techniques were used to draw the architectural elements Afterward the landscaping was developed with freehand drawing and a combination of pen pencil and marker rendering techniques

Lounge Rhythm Concept April McGee Flournoy WSU Detroit
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat and the repetition of visual movement Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements adjacent to each other A variety of rhythmic elements or motifs produce an exciting visual aesthetic and is void of monotony When motifs or elements are repeated alternated or arranged in a composition the intervals between them or how they overlap can create rhythm and a sense of movement Rhythms can be described as random regular alternating flowing and progressive Grouping similar repeating motifs or elements without regularity create a random rhythm Architect Frank Gheryrsquos design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Frederick Art Museum in Minneapolis depict random flowing rhythm movement The stainless steel facades fabricated in a brick like pattern and cohesively formed provide linear rhythmic appeal as your eye moves from one element to another The same harmony occurs in group performances worship and festivals
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements next each other Design harmony for a proposed commercial lounge was developed through a variety of linear and circular shapes and complimentary colors A colorful rhythmic painting is the focal point or inspiration for the interior design scheme When you admire the artwork you feel the implied rhythm of body movement and color The abstract shapes and lines compliment the placement of colors and produce a type of melody The challenge of the design was to compose the perfect shapes and colors in a harmonic way so that the sound of music is imagined This was achieved through the colors and pattern selection of the textiles walls flooring derived from the artwork Carefully selected materials convey a rhythmic dancing movement seen in modern architecture markets where crafts and merchandise are displayed and In performance art and festivals

Wrightrsquos usonian residential design style It is
surrounded by trees and orientated toward the sun to
allow walls of glass to warm the house in the winter
and provide ventilation during the summer

Hand Renderings April McGee Flournoy HFCC Dearborn
Residential rendering is an integration of architecture and the environment on which it sets These hand renderings accentuate how the residential and landscape design compliment each other in a harmonious manner
Hand rendered drawings communicate depth texture and helps the viewer visualize the finished architectural and landscape designs These drawings were composed of techniques that utilize a variety of mediums such as Prismacolor pencils and markers Rapidoraph technical ink pens and Dewert graphiite pencils Architectural drafting techniques were used to draw the architectural elements Afterward the landscaping was developed with freehand drawing and a combination of pen pencil and marker rendering techniques

Lounge Rhythm Concept April McGee Flournoy WSU Detroit
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat and the repetition of visual movement Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements adjacent to each other A variety of rhythmic elements or motifs produce an exciting visual aesthetic and is void of monotony When motifs or elements are repeated alternated or arranged in a composition the intervals between them or how they overlap can create rhythm and a sense of movement Rhythms can be described as random regular alternating flowing and progressive Grouping similar repeating motifs or elements without regularity create a random rhythm Architect Frank Gheryrsquos design of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Frederick Art Museum in Minneapolis depict random flowing rhythm movement The stainless steel facades fabricated in a brick like pattern and cohesively formed provide linear rhythmic appeal as your eye moves from one element to another The same harmony occurs in group performances worship and festivals
Rhythm Rhythm in design is a visual beat Patterns color lines and forms can convey rhythm by making your eyes travel from one component to another and imply movement through the placement of elements next each other Design harmony for a proposed commercial lounge was developed through a variety of linear and circular shapes and complimentary colors A colorful rhythmic painting is the focal point or inspiration for the interior design scheme When you admire the artwork you feel the implied rhythm of body movement and color The abstract shapes and lines compliment the placement of colors and produce a type of melody The challenge of the design was to compose the perfect shapes and colors in a harmonic way so that the sound of music is imagined This was achieved through the colors and pattern selection of the textiles walls flooring derived from the artwork Carefully selected materials convey a rhythmic dancing movement seen in modern architecture markets where crafts and merchandise are displayed and In performance art and festivals
