Maps of the Middle East for the Developing City Neom

These designs were part of a 5 week summer program on sustainable design. We worked together like an agency. The class worked with Buro Happold, an architectural firm based in London, on the planned city of Neom in Saudi Arabia. The class designed the city accounting for all components of a livable civilization: technology, economy, environment, education, community, transportation, infrastructure, agriculture, and tourism. At the end of the course the class had created a presentation for the client. 
My primary contributions to the final presentation came in the form of helping to write the script and creating the map graphics seen throughout the presentation. This was a collaborative group task on a short time frame, which meant I was switching jobs based on where I was needed. I also spent ample time researching, gathering photographs, and forming the basic structure of the presentation. 
Through my job at Chapman University, I designed a gallery show highlighting the work from the class. I had the responsibility to create the show from the ground up. I planned the gallery out, and created proposals to those who would approve the project. I was a project manager on all the collateral finished and installed in time for the show. My job was to highlight the positive effects of the class to the higher-ups at the university to help secure more subsidized funding for the class in the future, as well as to show off the work done by the students.
