Filling the Void
VIS218 Spring 2020
Prompt: design a unique, textless billboard in Princeton
These 'billboards' aim to spark new curiosity around existing campus art and encourage interaction, especially within the local princeton population... by inserting these new elements within familiar spaces, the daily ‘norm’ is disrupted & attention is drawn... then the billboards act as viewfinders for the art itself
key concepts
-
intervention to highlight without detracting from existing art
-
simplicity on form, color, & lack of text
-
physical separation prevents interference with the 'photo op'
-
-
visual puzzle involving art to entice the brain
-
selection of a few pieces by foot traffic, accessible viewpoints, etc
MyHop
IDEO U 2021
Prompt: ideate & iterate a design meant to improve the local public transportation experience (selected from provided prompt list)
Sustainably serving the privacy of the user long-term, the My Hop design also addresses the immediate protection of individual health amidst a pandemic... additionally, conveniently stowable surfaces promote productivity without impeding existing space
Chair Studio
ARC Spring 2019
Prompt: design & build a chair derived from the navy chair [aka emeco 1006]
Through the conceptual inversion of some of the navy chair’s most iconic characteristics--rigidity, reflectivity, and seat concavity--came a chair responsive to its user [flexible rubber joints], productive of its own light [LEDs in acrylic rods acting as fiber optics], & informally suggestive to seating [no clear designation of seat position]
Chicago Home & Studio
ARC Fall 2019
Prompt: develop an architect's small home + studio that mediates between the public & private territories of both site & program (limitations: design for existing lot, <60% lot coverage, hand drawn plan set, and required 2 bed, 1.5 bath, kitchen, dining, living, studio, & exhibition)
By first defining the ‘publicity’ for each of this site’s programs, the proximity of ground and street could be used as a privacy gradient to define their placement...the gap between public gallery & private living is literally bridged by the less certainly defined studio... the site is bluntly clad & formed as it aims to clearly visualize internal privacy
Rethinking the Eating Club
ARC Fall 2018
Prompt: redesign the eating club based on on-site observation & analysis
Dramatic fluctuations in spatial usage led to a dramatic idea for intervention: expanding & contracting forms for each of the five main functions of the building... this design allocates precious internal space to present usage only... the original floor plans and room count are commemorated in the fractured central yard
