Stewarding Knowledges
Through the USFCA Architecture and Design Department, I worked in partnership with the Gatekeepers Museum in Tahoe City, California, to design and construct interactive models of Lake Tahoe depicting its past, present, and future. Downloading topographical data, I used a CNC machine with help from the USF woodshop director to create three 3D maps. 3 completed maps and accompanying posters are currently on display at the Gatekeeper’s Museum in Tahoe City, CA.

Model #2: “What Is”
-Painted on is how things have changed; landfill, buildings, roads, powerlines, skiing, marinas, agriculture, altered landscape, etc.
