Queanna Gordon

Queanna Gordon, a 3D designer with a unique approach to architectural design and digital innovation, is driven by a passion for her craft and a vision to excel as a 3D Modeler. At Ravensbourne University London, Gordon applies architectural fundamentals to improve her understanding of how to aid community cohesion through sustainable design. Using CAD drafting and 3D modelling software gives her a solid foundation in design principles and technical proficiency. She has actively engaged in architectural projects that involve 3D modelling, rendering, and visualisation techniques. Through mentorships with Hassell Architects and Greenmat, Gordon honed her skills in software such as Rhino, Grasshopper, Adobe Creative Suite, Vray, Autodesk and Blender, translating architectural concepts into compelling digital representations.

Gordon hopes to use her architectural background and technical skills to excel as a 3D modeller, contributing to innovative design projects and virtual environments that benefit communities while discovering the intersection of architecture and technology. She aims to create immersive visual experiences that blend creativity with functionality. She is eager to apply her architectural knowledge and passion for digital design, push boundaries, and deliver impactful visual solutions by committing to continuous learning and growth within the dynamic realm of 3D. This unwavering commitment reassures her readiness for future challenges and 3D modelling.

Peckham Provisions – Here are the proposed technical plan drawings for Peckham Provisions' ground and first floor, created using Photoshop and Rhino. The project involves a produce scheme that grows and sells using community gardens and a marketplace. The aim is to create a 'floating' community garden and marketplace over Peckham Rye Station. The structure features brick columns surrounding the station and glass dome structures branching off those columns, giving it an organic and natural appearance resembling trees. This project aligns with the Council's goal of revitalising Peckham's community through regeneration and development. It focuses on fostering community cohesion through farming to support the livelihoods of Peckham's markets, traders, and residents.

Hackney Hues – Here are proposed rendered external visualisations of the printmaking workshop and print shop for Hackney Hues, produced using Rhino, Vray, and Photoshop. This project is a printmaking workshop and temporary housing space for the locals of Hackney Wick. This project intends to cultivate creative communities within Hackney Wick and listen to its residents' needs to preserve their innovative culture and avoid its destruction through gentrification. The printmaking workshop/temporary housing features exterior terracotta panel tiling, tessellated stained glass triangular-shaped roofing in red, yellow, and blue hues, and interior timber screens with stained glass panelling while replacing the current boathouse windows, the same stained glass windows for the print shop/temporary housing. The triangular shape and colours symbolise the foundational nature of colours, and paint is the primary element in every artistic medium. The aim is to promote community cohesion by maintaining artistic lifestyles while giving second chances to people who need them.

Kinetic Fold – Here are the proposed rendered exterior perspective and isometric visualisations of Kinetic Fold's interactive tunnel space using Rhino, Grasshopper and Vray. This project is an interactive learning intervention that uses the existing built environment in various ways to promote the concept of 'play' and emphasise community cohesion in Kings Cross St Pancreas. This origami-inspired tunnel scheme features fibreglass rods and silicone frames that allow experimentation with other ways of entering, exiting, and using the space while supporting the brightly coloured PVC-coated translucent fabric. The platform consists of tempered glass with concrete steps. The outcome is to create moments where the residents can enjoy the environment and each other by rediscovering and enhancing their inquisitive minds through playing with the environment.

Kinetic Fold – Here is one of the concept designs for Kinetic Fold's interactive learning space using origami paper and Photoshop.

Holey Cheese – Here is the proposed 3d printed physical model of Holely Cheese's Cheese restaurant, using Rhino and Flashprint. This project establishes a cheesemaking market, promotes food cultures and supports Bermondsey's local businesses. The building is a three-story structure resembling layers of melted cheese, featuring a concrete facade and glass windows. The project aims to enhance food diversity through research on the evolution and preservation of various cultures in Bermondsey. The result is a market that celebrates cheese culture and fosters a sense of community through food experiences for residents.
