My name is Ross Vogel. Although I seek a position as an architectural intern, I wish to accomplish the most out of Architecture, than merely meeting the minimum hours required towards licensure. This passion developed at an early age, where design tools consisted of a Strathmore Sketchpad and a #2 pencil. Coming from a small town in Georgia, Historic Residential Architecture became my foundation for design. The hundred empty pages in my sketchpad were soon filled with sketches of homes, varying in style and scale. This drawing fixation sparked two goals of mine: to become an Architect, and design & build the ultimate dream house. My dream house is unique because it already exists somewhere, which strengthens my motivation to discover it. I believe in the Art of Restoration. Why build when a majority of today’s building footprint remains unoccupied? The real art to design is creating something new that compliments the existing style and character of the old.
Although I favor Residential Architecture, I am diverse and open-minded to all fields. Design is limitless. Therefore, I value an environment where a designer’s creativity is recognized and cherished for developing new ideas of materiality and form. Architecture should create an interactive experience with its user, and suggest opportunities for technology, sustainability, and efficiency to evolve. In comparison, I completed an outdoor gallery space for an international design competition in Austin, Texas. My design incorporated an ordinary industrial material of ductwork, making the project affordable and recyclable. The ductwork is employed to carry sound, allowing the community to become part of the architecture. This sample, along with many others, illustrates my diversity and thinking process towards architecture.
Feel free to browse through my online portfolio, [www.vogeldesigns.org]. I’ve selected projects that illustrate my value, vision, and contribution to architecture. Thank you for your time and consideration. Looking forward to hearing from you.

TOGS3 Competition, Honorable Mention
The third annual Temporary Outdoor Gallery Space Ideas Competition (TOGS 3) enhances the global dialogue between art and architecture while offering emerging professionals in the fields of architecture and design the opportunity to garner international attention. This Ideas Competition generates innovative proposals for a temporary outdoor structure that will function simultaneously as an exhibition space and as an architectural exhibition.
This competition accepted a total of 177 entries internationally. I placed 6th. My designs were on show at an exhibition during the summer of 2010 in Austin, Texas.
