Architectural Design
In 2023, I was commissioned to design an Ayahuasca Temple. Although the project never came to fruition, this is the design I developed over the course of about a month. While the design was not fully completed—since I had planned to add more details and make each of the seven outer sections completely unique—this is what I was able to accomplish within the limited time frame. All the images are screenshots from a real-time virtual reality simulation I created. The 3D modeling was done in Maya, and the VR aspect was built using Unreal Engine. It was an amazing experience being able to walk around the entire structure, gaining a true sense of its scale and scope.
This is the temple without the roof showing the interior design featuring dividing walls in the shape of a Septagram

The entrance is a jaguar mouth

The archway (that i have built in real life) that you pass through in order to enter the middle of the temple

Details on the temple pillars (though I would have included alot more of the project had continued and I could commit more time to it)
