Fall 2020 The floor plan for NEXT was conceptualized through relationships of the architecture in combination with the golden spiral found in nature. Once different zones were established, the diagrams were interpreted literally and as fractals within the spaces. Different zones were established to aligned with the spatial typologies to meet the needs of the NEXT office.
The result is a space built on an innate human response to nature and the peace, harmony, and balance that comes with that bond.

Spring 2020
Togetherness The “Togetherness” exhibition features Rani Ban’s most inspiring works. The exhibit focuses on human connections that bring communities together and drive for change. The anchor piece for the exhibit is a playful screen print which shows figures dancing and floating around freely. This captures Rani’s approach to her free flowing designs. For this project, a logo, typeface, iconography, and signage system were created to be displayed within the museum. InDesign, Photoshop, Fresco,

Flow Lighting Light flows gently, guiding the viewer, as if following a river of literature. As one gets deeper into the space, the ceiling light coves define spaces to gather below the ambiance. Expressive curvilinear elements on the walls offer the soft suggestion of circulation, subtle touches of color emphasize important zones, create hierarchy, and personality within each room to define different functions and helps add to the creative productivity.
