True/False Film Festival

2018 Group Member The True/False Film Festival is held in Columbia, MO each year in the last weekend of February. The challenge was to create a bus shelter that would be put up every year during the festival and to create one that could withstand all weather types, be assembled and the reassembled. As a group we presented in front of the board, where they selected four bus shelters. My role in the design was to help with the initial design through trial and error and the assembly of the bus shelter.

Into the Senses:

600 Independence Ave SW, Washington, DC 20560

Museums all over have one goal in mind, to deliver information and share with the world experiences that keep visitors coming back. The p roblem i s designing for m ultiple d ifferent t ypes o f visitors. How do you design a space t hat enhances and stimulates the senses depending on the visitor’s needs? How do you design amongst one of America’s national museum mall’s, a place that holds some of the richest American history? How do you replicate or create a sensory emotion, relayed from display to v isitor? How can a design e ncourage e xploration and experimentation?

Hypothesis: IF ….you choreograph an interactive museum, through the use of t echnology and real a rtifacts, t hat creates a sensory, emotional r esponse t o visitors w ith a m ultidisciplinary design approach THEN….each v isitor, worker, or educator will h ave a choreographed experience that they r emember f or a l ifetime.

The museum will teach others in ways they don’t even realize they a re l earning. Visitors will be introduced to n ew technologies and stimulate their sense

Process: What makes this museum different than any other is the design approach. I n depth research o n users, a choreographed experience that is unique for each visitor, a new interface that is designed t o assist the experience and t he perception of t he senses is studied. Just designing the interior and the structure isn’t the goal here, but instead using other design disciplines to

Washington D.C. Located in Washington D.C. on the National Mall to the West of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. The decision for Washington DC was based off of the diversity, atmosphere, history and projected visitor volume. There is an average of 20 million visitors that visit Smithsonian museums each year and 60% of people travel to Washington D.C. for leisure. This site particularly holds close proximity to travel, and other sites and museums. What makes this site the best location is the views and that it is along the tourist paths.

How the mass joins the site, it is important to consider the historical zoning and building heights. There are no zoning regulations, but no building on the national mall is taller than 85’. The city of Washington was designed on a grid. At its center is the US Capitol. The strict grid of the city doesn’t limit the exploration of different design styles, in fact it is very diverse.

Road Traf

The form starts with taking on the rectangular box shape of the Smithsonian to the East of the site. The next phase, the intent was to break the form vertically. Keeping the simplicity in the floorplan, while pushing different elements up and down. The decision of where the breaks happened was from a 40’x40’ grid, breaking every 40’ on the outer blocks.

From there the rigid form was morphed into a curved continuous form, illusion of the senses creating a sensation. But nothing was happening within the space, it was all happening on the outside and I wanted to bring in dimension for the visitors to be able to explore the curves from different angles or go inside the tubes. I explored the different ways the now morphed form could take on and found that inverting the form into a box opened up a complexity to the space and ways for visitors to experience the space in more ways then one. From there the form was scaled out to allow for more space.

All in all we are all user’s of some sorts.

Whether we are interacting with a phone, application, a visitor of a museum, or simply the use of a tool. It is up to professionals, who do experience these things as well, to make it better for individuals. After interviewing a UX Designer and a Museum Display Stager, there were two common qualities that came about; designing for diverse crowds is important, even for the user that is not interested in the topic they should still leave or have a pleasant memory, or still have an overall pleasant experience-even if the restroom was their favorite part. The second quality to designing an experience is through making an entrance that doesn’t deter the user and designing a story that moves the user through the exhibits and building.

that kept people coming back and remembering the space. A combination of answers where given. Again, it was found that it depended very heavily on who they were with. When something was positive and something, they would want to experience again it captured a memory. A memory is something that depends on the senses as well.

The use of journey mapping is important to assist in touching every touch point a visitor could interact with. Starting from the very beginning, the thought or how they made it a thought to visit the museum, to the entry of the museum and how they will experience within the space and then to the exit and moments after.

I decided to follow the Smithsonian journey map as each Smithsonian museum follows one journey map as protocol, but form it to the Museum of Senses. I did case studies on the Museum of moving art and the African American museum and found interesting approaches for how to experience the museum within.

For instance the Museum of African American History, you enter at the main level and then take an elevator into the basement and follow along the history until you then make it to the top.

The intent of the design is to create a media center and maker space that enhances the STEAM curriculum. The design will have move-able furniture, a circulation that connects the two spaces, different types of environments for different types of learning, and learn-able moments (exposed HVAC systems) that allow for learning. To do so, the study of the white oak leaf was done. A leaf has a stem that goes through the middle of the leaf, that then branches off to ‘pods’. While the form does not take the shape of a leaf, the spatial layout was inspired by the organic curves of a single leaf .There is a central circulation that breaks off into different learning ‘pods’, the organic curves from the leaf, textures, and colors will be driven throughout each space.

The media center is one of the first things seen when entering the school. The intent of having a curved, curtain wall is to make the space more inviting, driving from the organic curves of a leaf.

As one enters the space, they will be welcomed with the reception desk to the left, following the oak wood flooring that takes you through the STEAM center like the “vein” of the leaf. The media center includes a: shared learning space, open study breakout areas, an immersive lab, lounge space, and a presentation space. The design allows for the STEAM learning to take place.

JEFFERSON MIDDLE SCHOOL COLUMBIA, MO A group project designing an existing school and develop hypothetical design proposals for the school creating more functional and visually appealing for learning. A relocation of the Performing Arts Center to where the current media center is at the back of the school. The new location allows for better acoustics, circulation for after school activities and easy access to the Performing Arts Theatre. My contribution to this design was: Concept development, Performing Arts Center designing and model making.

The intent of this design is to maximize the space, add an acoustical design, and incorporate the STEM curriculum with common areas more than just the performing arts students can use. Doing so by; using colors, textures of wood and form to create a sense of each space coming together as one with a feeling of calmness.

One of the most important components to the performing arts classrooms are the acoustics.

Based on studies for band and orchestra rooms, each room has their own sound specifics. It is really important in the design for the room to have proper acoustics because of the lasting effects it can have on the students. The absorbtion coefficiant for rooms designed for music are 0.2 or less. The wall system designed allows for the absorbed and direct sound waves to go through the curves where they curve inward. The sound is absorbed into the acoustic insulation and refracted by the concreate wall.

Concrete assist in the horizontal sound transfer.

The restaurant on the second floor can be easily accessed by two vertical circulation paths. The first being by the staircase, seen to the right, that grants access only for restaurant guest. Or by the central elevator located in the center of the building that all guest can access.

The restaurant follows the knot by interweaving the outdoor bar in to the interior, having grand views of both looking out and those looking in and through the use of materials. Partitions, like the one shown in the above image were designed with the idea of an abstration of the knot, while also providing a sense of division between those eating and waiting.
