This was the first assignment given to me entering my third year architecture studio. The goal was to make a small, floating home to float to fit within the unique house boat community that float on the Mississippi river. This was the first project where we were allowed to use the laser cutters, 3D printers, and render architectural drawings digitally. Since I only knew Adobe programs entering this studio, I dived into Rhino and Grasshopper immediately. Mike Christenson is known as the Rhino and Grasshopper expert at NDSU; I would approach him if I had any problems and now people at NDSU come to me for help with these programs. I didn’t just dip my toes in the water for this project, I jumped into it.
