Architecture
Shannon Story
Hello
My name is Shannon Story and I am a Huntsville, Alabama native. I am in my 5th year of the Bachelor of Architecture program at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a declared minor in Interior Architecture. I have studied abroad at the Pantheon Institute in Rome, Italy.
I enjoy drawing, sketching, and painting- which you can view in the Art Gallery. My love for architecture began after attending Georgia Tech's Pre-College Architecture summer program. One lesson about the works of Frank Lloyd Wright solidified my interest in the design world.
During my search for Architecture programs, I visited numerous colleges and universities. Knoxville felt like home and UTK was the perfect match.
Fun Fact: I have a toy poodle named Mazie who furthers my adoration for all animals. I also believe in giving back to my community through having a serving heart toward all in need.
My Story
Symbolic representation of my time studying in Rome analyzing at 3 different architectural scales the harmony of symmetry within classical architecture. This piece is hand drawn and uses precedents of the Tempietto, the Pantheon, and the Villa Rotunda.
A story is not only a narrative, tale, or level of a building, but also a part of who i am. Although it is fitting to have as a last name for an architect, "stories" play a significant role in my life and design.
In all my works I strive to create experiences that tell a story. To either create something new or remind individuals of our history and past. Design is a way to insight into memories and let the imagination run wild. My desire for my work is to excite creativity not only in challenging myself but for viewers as well.
Whether through digital media or hand-drawn pieces, I believe all arts can form architecture. I, personally have a passion between the mind and hand in the art of sketching and the body and mind connection that takes place.
