Entrance Portal for the Arecibo Observatory /2020
As part of a community service project for a class, another student (Tatiana Ocasio) and I collaborated with the Arecibo Observatory. We were tasked with designing a plan that organized what projects they needed help with in their facilities. And we were given the opportunity to design a new entrance portal for the observatory and a mural for their office building. For the design of the portal, the director wanted something futuristic that would make for a great first impression for all visitors to the observatory, and he was very pleased with the final proposal.
