JANNA DE VERA  

THE COMPLETE
PORTFOLIO



Hi! My name is Janna De Vera, a fifth-year undergraduate student majoring in architecture at the University of Southern California. My journey into the realm of architecture began with building legos as a child, and has evolved into the creation of sophisticated models throughout my collegiate experience. 

Committed to a pursuit of excellence in education and hands-on learning, I am driven to cultivate a profound understanding of design, technology, and human behavior. My academic journey has not only equipped me with a strong foundation but has instilled in me a resolute commitment to continuous improvement. As I embark on the transition to the professional realm, I am eager to apply my existing skills while actively seeking opportunities to acquire new competencies that will contribute to the dynamic field of architecture. 

I am enthusiastic about the prospect of leveraging my knowledge and skills to make meaningful contributes in the workforce as well as the built environment. Welcome to my portfolio, cataloguing all my work from the past four years, I hope you enjoy.

09 THE STUDIO CUBE: SKELETON CUBICLE
FALL 2020
ANDREW KOVACS STUDIO

Taking a lot of structural inspiration from Frida Escobedo’s Copper Chair, I wanted the main focus of my cubicle to be how the structure or infrastructure divided up the space for different activities in a person’s daily routine. For example, the desk/work area is designated not by walls or doors, but rather posts and horizontal pieces separating it from the common area. 

I intended there to be a clear connection between the intersections of leg members and the intersection of the structural pieces of my cubicle. Just how the chair stands alone by being made up of one material, I hope my cubicle will do the same. Also translating the asymmetrical design of the chair to the cubicle was something I tried to prioritize. Having the structure be the main focus, I intentionally minimized the inclusion of walls and closed off spaces so that the flow from area to area and inside to outside is smooth.
