The comprehensive presentation demonstrates a design process that moves beyond a single final rendering, documenting each stage of development through physical modeling, digital visualization, environmental analysis, and technical documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beginning with a conceptual model, Addyson translated design ideas into a coordinated digital workflow that included perspective views, site analysis, seasonal sun studies, plans, elevations, sections, circulation diagrams, and concept diagrams. The project also investigated how natural light interacts with the structure throughout the year, using isometric studies of the summer solstice, equinoxes, and winter solstice to evaluate the relationship between the built form and its environment.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"792\" height=\"451\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-labs\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/06\/image-1-792x451.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-labs\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/06\/image-1-792x451.png 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-labs\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/06\/image-1-396x226.png 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-labs\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/06\/image-1-768x437.png 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-labs\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/06\/image-1-1536x875.png 1536w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-labs\/uploads\/sites\/2755\/2026\/06\/image-1-2048x1166.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 792px) 100vw, 792px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Trimble Technology Lab congratulates Addyson on the selection of her project for the TTL Student Showcase and looks forward to featuring additional examples of student work that demonstrate the creativity, rigor, and technical development taking place across the School of Design and Construction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trimble Technology Lab is pleased to feature an outstanding student project from SDC 140: Foundations Studio, illustrating how first-year students begin to develop the analytical, representational, and digital skills that form the basis of design education.
