“Our opportunity, as designers, is to learn how to handle the complexity, rather than shy away from it, and to realize that the big art of design is to make complicated things simple.”

Deafness affects roughly 5% of the worlds population. That comes out to about 466 million people. Of those 466 million people, about 90% are born to hearing parents. Even with parents and family members learning sign language, there is still a level of disconnect and lack of communication that can occur between the deaf and hearing family members. Social isolation occurs when people are disconnected from the world around them. This can happen even if someone is physically surrounded by people. A lack of interaction can lead to various mental and physical health problems including depression and strokes.
Dëßïgñ Sølütïøñ Being Deaf or hard of hearing can be an isolating experience. for people who are deaf or hard of hearing will create opportunities for people to form stronger bonds. This environment will also connect Deaf people from all over the world.

Høßtël Dëßïgñ Çhållëñgë While studying abroad in Florence, Italy, we were tasked with redesigning the outdated Plus Hostel. In this project, we were to create a new reception area, with a computer room off the side of it, as well as three different bedroom styles: a single, a double, and a six person room. We were to update the hostel so that it would attract young travelers in visiting the beautiful city of Florence.

Dëßïgñ Sølütïøñ This project was a group project. My partner and I decided that in order to design We decided that they all must love to discover new places if they are traveling, so we made our concept discovery. We decided to name each bed a different country’s name to encourage them to discover more about that country. Having stayed in hostels ourselves we were able to identify and solve some issues that we felt we had in the hostel setting, such as privacy and personal space. We also decided to keep the color pallet vibrant as the previous one was very dull and did not spark a sense of joy.

The residential area is kept very separate so that the people staying there can feel both a sense of privacy and less pediatric patients. Keeping a more youthful and vibrant atmosphere though the use of materials. This space is also divided up into a place for living and a place for therapy. Because pediatric patients usually have their families there with them a majority of the time, there is a place for parents as well and two rooms for the families to stay overnight.
