Corporate Design

Patagonia Headquarters

Patagonia started with innovative people who saw no boundaries. Who

started a business so that they could climb, without hurting nature. Still today Patagonia lives by the idea that nature should run its natural course. This started with their effort to make their products from 100% organic cotton since 1996, to signing petitions agaist building new water dams, and in favor of demolishing existing low production ones. Above all, Patagonia believes in simplicity, and its know for its slogan;Living simple. Recycling towards the future.

Final circulation path.

The idea behind the design, was to be as efficient and simple as possible. How could everything that is not necessary be taken away? Inspired by Patagoniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iniciative to recycle, the main circulation path is centralized, and it grants easy access to all work stations and offices within the space. The secondary circulation path was inspired by Paragoniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort to be innovative, barrier free, pushing the limits. The path cuts through the executive area, to give easier and faster access to the rest of the corporative office.

View of Reception.

The use of natural, renewable and recyclable materials was essential to the design. This helps show Patagoniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s belives not only in their product, but as well as in their work space. Wood,bamboo, stone, sand pebbles, and cardboard(shown bellow) are most used materials in the space, covering floor and wall surfaces, as well as furniture.

Collaborative Space

With an open plan, sound travels through the office, and even though the idea is to maintain it barrier free, it is important to keep some level of privacy. Soft and sound absorbing materials are used throughout the design. areas with workstations have carpet as flooring, and the majority of upholstery is felt as shown above. 13

+ Due to its nature, corporate design involves many different types of people and work styles. Therefore it is key that each work station or office is designed with the worker in mind. The image of the brand is also a factor to be taken into consideration. The spaces are less formal with the intention to allow for more interaction between workers. The administation work stations allow for storage, as well as for one on one meetings. The executive meeting room is large enough for more formal gatherings, without losing the free spirited image of the brand, and lastly, the product development station is set up as a studio, allowing for the exchange of ideas and informal meetings.

Pediatric Patient Room

C olorful and delicate are visible aspects of a soap bubble, but aside from

physical characteristics, they are highly functional as well. When more than two bubbles come together, they arrange themselves in such a manner so that they all share a common wall with the most volumous bubble. This sharing allows for the bubbles to minimize the volume they take up in space as well as make for a more stable molecular structure.This goes to show how functional a simple soap bubble can be. Depending on how many more bubbles come together, the formation can be easily rearranged. making it a flexible structure. 16

For a young patient it is important to have a healing space that fits their needs. This design provides a calming and interactive atmosphere to a pediatric room. Lively colors, graphics and a play area are proposed. Because it is a health care environment anti-microbial, wipeable and bleachable finishes were selected. Also, all medical equipment can be stored inside the headwall, this provides better hygiene and a less intimidating space.

Residential Design

Microliving Unit

Set in the the young and artistic community of Santa Fe, New Mexico this

250 sq. ft. microliving unit fits in to the modern world and yet adaptive to its cultural suroundings. Local materials such as terra cotta and hardwood were implemented in the design. Inspired by natural formations and the landscape, colors in the range of oranges and blues were used. The space planned for two people alows for private areas such as office, sleeping and bathing areas to be at either end, where as communal spaces such as the kitchen to be the center and point of entry. 22

Because of the warm weather, south facing windows were add to the back wall of the house in contrast to the terra cotta wall in the front, allowing for heat storage during the warm days, and realese during the cold nights. A layer of privacy was also added when it comes to the program. Bathroom and office are located at either end, where, the sleeping/ living and kitchen are located in the center for easier access.

Commercial Design

International Market

The project is part of a studio focused on community engagement

and focused population. As designers, it is important to understand that the design of a space depends on the end user. Culture, age, race, and person interest are only a few factors that must be taken into cinsideration when designing for a community.For this project specifically, the target is the city of Kent, its surrounding areas, the international community, Kent State University students and faculty.

+ The concept: Chemistry is a branch of physical science that studies the composition, structure, properties and change of matter. When independent elements come together it is because they already have something in common, and are willing to share it. When this bond occurs, the creation of something greater than both of them happens. This new element can be unexpected but it can also be essential to life. One of the most important facts about chemistry is that when bonds happens, even though the structure of the elements might change depending on outside forces, its composition and properties stay the same.

The site is located at 1005 E. Main Street, Kent OH, across the street from the Kent state University campus, a church, and a residential area. The idea is to provide services that are not readily available to the international population. The space is to be inviting, safe and a confortable atmosphere to all end-user inspite of their nationality, age, gender or religion. 32

The first floor offers a dry good market, which allows for a selection of international products, a small scale commercial kitchen and an open market with individual carts, allowing the sale of fresh produce and hot meals, and also allows the population to supplement their income.

Institutional Design

Museum of Literary Art

In the spring of 2015, as a result of a semerster abroad in Florence, Italy,

a project that dealt with the adaptive reuse of a historical building was the outcome of four months of imersion into the the Italian and European life style a whole. The project involved research on what was the initial purpose of the building, how to carefully repurpose it as a museum fit for the Florentine pupulation of the 21st century.

Located in Piazza Trinita, Florence, Italy, Palazzo Spini Ferroni has since had a connection with literature. Said to hold the well in which Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beloved Dante Alighieri met Beatrice, this is the site where one of the greatest pieces of Italian literature stared. Now in the 21st century, with the help of visual arts, not only Danteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Divine Comedy, but as well as many other great literary pieces are able to come to life. The museum holds exhibition spaces, but also a Cultural Center in the lower level. It is in hopes to bring attention to both art and literature that The MULART has been designed. It is also in hopes to bring the Florentine community together, that the lower level in dedicated to the cultural center, where anyone can enjoy time alone or with a group.

The museum was designed based on two main criterias; Permanent and temporary collections and pieces. For the permanent collections such as the Alice in Wonderland and Danteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inferno prints by Dali, rooms were design in order to accomodate the art work in the best way possible so it be displayed in a cohisive way. As for rooms that were designated for temporary instalations, these were designed in a way that it could be as flexible as possible due to the various ways in which an art instalation can be arranged. 42

Interior Elevation:

Staircase and library: The stairs connect the museum and the cultural center by using the perimeter of the central courtyard. Each level hosts bookshelves, both on the exterior walls, and in the interior walls. The stairs are also broken up into two different widths. The exterior is less wide, for circulation. The interior is wider than usual,allowing for siting and reading.

Fine Arts

2D Composition

Turning ideas into a reality starts with skeching. From the very basic black

and white scribble on a piece of paper to using paint, clay and other tools to create a composition. Simple and basic ideas are the start and structure of a complex and complete design.

Chair Design Having the freedom to design

an unique chair gives the ability to think about and understand multiple things: What are the materials that can be used for the construction? Is the design structurally stable or is it just for aesthetics? who is the end user? Where is it going to be used? What are the proportions? No matter how big or small, all kinds of design has an end user and a purpose. Having those two ideas in mind allows for a design of better quality.

Grey Scale Evaluation This image pulls

and pushes the eye of the viewer. It gives the illusion of floatation because of how white, black and grey tones are use. Had it been painted any otherway, it would read much differently. 54

The relation between black and white reads as depth in a space. Closer objects are more readable, therefore darker. In contrast, objects that are further away read lighter and hazier. 55

Multimedia Transformation

Different types of media are used to show diffent artistic effects on a piece. Acrylic paint, stippling and collage are used separatetly and in combination with one another to show technique and ability to create a well balanced composition.
