Architecture concept taught by Riya
During a recent SketchUp lesson, Riya and Brandi collaborated on refining a deck design, ensuring it met specific architectural and county requirements. Their focus was on adjusting staircase dimensions, deck size, and beam placement according to provided measurements. Brandi will present the updated design to her husband for approval and plans to practice adjusting the balusters before their next lesson.

Riya assisted Brandi in interpreting architectural drawings for a deck project in Littleton, Colorado. Their discussion centered on identifying inconsistencies in measurements and ensuring code compliance, particularly concerning staircase design and deck height. They meticulously reviewed discrepancies between different views in the drawing and calculated riser heights to meet local code requirements. Brandi plans to discuss these issues with her husband and the architect to resolve them before their next lesson.

Riya guided Brandi through a SketchUp lesson focused on designing a deck railing. They covered accurate post placement, creating balusters, and utilizing components. Brandi gained practical experience by dividing lines, applying materials, and navigating within groups. Her homework involves completing the railing on the remaining deck sides and constructing the bottom and top railings for the staircase.

Riya assisted Annette with her kitchen design in SketchUp, focusing on using the push/pull tool to create walls, windows, and door openings. They addressed issues with alignment and spacing of architectural elements and discussed strategies for experimenting with designs. They agreed to schedule an hour and a half for future lessons to allow more time for design work.

Riya assisted Nate in a Photoshop lesson, where he honed his skills creating a mood board for his interior design portfolio. Nate gained practical experience using various tools within the software, such as removing backgrounds, adjusting images, creating color swatches, and adding text and labels. Riya suggested that Nate create more sheets for his portfolio using the techniques they covered and to look at interior design mood boards for inspiration.

Kevin and Riya recently collaborated on architectural plan revisions, specifically addressing studio and apartment layouts. During their lesson, they adjusted storage sizes to meet regulations, optimized space for planters and gardens, and modified elevations. Riya is set to email the updated AutoCAD file to Kevin, marking the completion of this phase of their work.
