Grade 12 · British Columbia
I’m Darren.
A student who enjoys learning, building and turning ideas into models.
I’m a Grade 12 student at Dr. Charles Best Secondary, based in Burnaby, British Columbia. I use Fusion and AutoCAD to explore how dimensions, materials and connections shape the way a design works.
My mom runs The Silver Stone Arts Co. Ltd. Her job drawings give me a way to connect CAD with the math and physics I learn at school. I want to understand how stone weight, cutouts and supports affect a design, and learn what needs checking before installation.
Stonework projects
View all 14 projects →Each project starts with supplied drawings. The pages record readable dimensions, estimate stone quantities and compare support examples. Missing measurements are listed with the work.
Project 01 · AGQ8730Kitchen surfaces and related panels
Measurements, material quantities and support scenarios.
Project 05 · TCE4047A waterfall island and its connections
How a visible joint differs from a structural load path.
Project 14 · Multiple materialsCounters, panels and surrounds
Different shapes need different support questions.
Explore a model
The Stone Lab lets you change dimensions, thickness and material density, then follow the calculation from volume to mass and weight. Room Preview places the same design in a schematic kitchen.
A little about me
I’m drawn to engineering because I enjoy understanding how things work and improving a design through making and testing. Alongside CAD, my interests include rugby, volunteering and music production. I also work on social media and research with SafeguardSenior.
