Even though her chosen major is Architecture, she has really tested the waters exploring many kinds of media; and in depth! She will always impress her audience with well researched projects.

Gianna is the ideal student doing more than what she was asked to do. Her skills, talent, and work ethic are what motivates her peers. I really count on Gianna to set the bar for other students as she always stands above the rest.

Gianna creates a structure, inspired by broken plates. The process and inspirations are taking from daily planned and unplanned incidents and observations. Chance and the unexpected is also a process that can be used in formulating initial ideas into quick sketch analysis. She plays with reconstructing and deconstructing forms until configurations are set for optimal design construction. These creations from plates are then vectored and abstracted for the next step. Gianna creates a stable skeleton construct then the facade is creating. Finally, lighting is used for creating a mood in the overall structure.

The importance of sketching in architecture are really, all about communicating ideas. Testing and solving initial design problems, and of course, details. These ideas can demonstrate functionality, interaction, aesthetics and sound designs and other essentials.

Despite Gianna being reserved and quiet, she is a great listener and sympathetic to others work and opinions. If I call on her in group critiques, she can discern students’ needs with constructive criticism. I find her to always be independent and able to solve problems on her own. She is idealistic and can realize her concepts into sophisticated artworks.
