These images are a little washed out, the light became too intense but I didn't have the nearest clue how to fix it, more instruction on this program would have been awesome. This whole situation is incredibly frustrating... I will leave it at that.

Mens Sana in Corpore Sana

This spa was designed to serve wounded and traumatized veterans possibly being seriously disabled from their service. It consists of a large, heated, aerated pool with individual adjustable hot tub spaces lining the outer perimiter. Zero entry ramps provide 100 percent accessibility throughout.

Plan View: The red arrows represent zero entrance ramps into the pool.

The entire pool is aerated from the floor. Bubbles come from below in the same fashion a fish tank aerator works. These bubbles taper off in density as one moves closer to the ramped surfaces.

Walls and planters are constructed of stratified fieldstone in Sand, Dark Brown, and Grey.
Outdoor patio tiling is White sandstone 24"x 24" set on a 45 degree angle
Pool surfaces are poured cement with applied dark blue chlorinated rubber paint with aggregate added.
Pavilion Flooring is composite cedar over a poured cement pad.
Pavilion Roofing is Ceramic tile, Brown.

Artifact

This is my artifact to represent design for me. What is so critical about design in my opinion is the integration of the many different parts. A well designed object or space can have no extraneous parts; each piece plays some role in the function of several others on multiple levels. This is my concept with my artifact. Each piece is bent to create tension which in turn, supports the stresses of other parts. If one piece were to be removed, the whole thing would come apart. Good design is like a puzzle, one in which we shape the pieces ourselves, but they still have to fit together just right nonetheless.
