WORKSHOP
TOOLS
Photoshop, Illustrator, Rhino 6, Autodesk MayaCOMPLETED
November 2019
This unorthodox structure was created through the 5 day Theatrical Toronto workshop hosted by SCI-Arc University. Through this workshop, we explored a large variety of design techniques, from graphic design to 3D modelling, advanced rendering and more. The final individual product is a redesigned, new-age face for a historical Toronto Theater, created through exploration and experimentation.
