HELLO
My name is Lucy Crowder and I am a recent graduate from Kansas State University with a Masters of Interior Architecture and Product Design. Ever since I was a child I’ve always taken a real interest in design. I love to learn and I get excited whenever I get the chance to redesign new spaces or products. As a designer I am very detail oriented and I love the possibilities that new materials bring. I seek to create spaces that provide positive experiences for users and I take a real interest in how design can positively impact the environment as well. I am very open minded and am always looking for the opportunity to take on something new. Overall, I hope this portfolio is an informative overview of my skills and interests. Thank you for taking the time to look through my work.

THE SOCIAL HUB
LOCATION: TEMPE, AZ (ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA)
PRIMARY USER GROUP
Adults ages 25-39 in particular seem to be the most keen moviegoers. This bracket, which represents 21% of the 2+ population, comprised a larger 24% of moviegoers and 29% of tickets sold.

Frequent Moviegoers in Millions
Since the early 20th century, movie theaters have been one of the most popular settings millennials choose to go to for entertainment because they have provided a social hub for these users. However, with a rise in streaming services and an increase in public entertainment ticket prices, millennials feel they are paying too much when they aren’t getting a full exclusive experience, and therefore, there has been a drastic decline in public entertainment and movie theater attendance. The problem with this is that millennials are erring too far on the side of individual downtime, and they are not socializing with others as much anymore. This lead to the question of, can re-shaping traditional movie theater interiors as exclusive entertainment centers, promote socialization and address the declining millennial moviegoer interest?

EXISTING PROGRAM
Overall, this 35,188 square foot facility provides a constantly active patio and barrestaurant right at the main entry with tall storefront glass and roll-up doors that make the theater an indoor-outdoor experience. Within the building, Alamo houses 7 theaters in addition to its bar-restaurant and provides a dine-in experience for moviegoers.

EXISTING INTERIOR FURNITURE & FINISHES
Even though this site is already programmed as a cinema facility, this entertainment space still fails when it comes to bringing a fun and lively atmosphere to promote socialization for millennial moviegoers. As you can see the existing lighting is dim, subtle and not very eye catching and stimulating. The materials make the space feel bland and dated and they are not the most easy to clean as well. Lastly there doesn’t seem to be much furniture within the public areas of the facility. The use of proper furniture could help make the space feel more comfortable to users and promote them to stay longer.
11
CONCEPT: NEXUS
When developing the concept, a general theme emerged, which connected to the central idea of nexus. As spaces are created to unite different millennials in the community post pandemic, individuals’ mental well-being becomes recharged and energized again. Programatically, different amenities centered around cinema, gaming, and dining will be implemented within the facility. This parti reflects the primary circulation paths that connect the different entertainment amenities within the program to the central connecting core of the facility. The main central bar is the primary feature within this central hub, which is meant to help promote socialization when traveling from one space to the next.

INITIAL INTERIOR ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY
When initially analyzing the existing building layout, it was noticed that the four existing auditoriums on the east side of the building aligned, which created a perfect cutoff point for zoning purposes. This then allowed the rest of the facility to be used for gaming and dining amenities, along with support spaces. To make the entry feel open and inviting, while also providing site lines to all of the amenities, all of the main gaming and dining spaces were then strategically placed on either side of the lobby and main central bar.

FRAMING DETAILS
To symbolize the idea of viewing movies on a screen, the use of voids and framed wayfinding details are primary design features within the central core of the building. From the moment you enter the facility, each amenity is in a sense ‘framed’ in order to draw users’ attention.

ELECTRONIC TURNSTILE
Electronic security turnstiles are used at the entrance of the cinema promenade to help minimize face to face contact between customers and staff. Users can either scan an electronic ticket on a mobile device or printed ticket to be able to then access the cinema auditoriums.

AUDITORIUM SEATING LAYOUT
By incorporating seating pods within the overall traditional seating arrangement gives audience members who want social distancing the choice to have some separation from others, yet they can still feel
connected to everyone in the audience as well. The pods themselves also provide more of an intimate and connected space for small groups of friends or family members.

BILLBOARD CREATIVE LOCATION: LOS ANGELES, CA (SOUTH PARK CENTER)
When researching the city of Los Angeles, it is very apparent that it is a leading world center for billboards and advertising opportunities, however, artists around the city strongly disagree with this idea of modern advertising. Many times, these artists with permission or not, come in to replace and disrupt those ads and create bold, expressive, works of art for any passerby to see. This research inspired this overall concept, which expresses the idea of allowing the staff at this architectural design firm to become ambitious disruptor’s and rebels in the design world. Consequently, the staff have the chance to create expressive, and innovative architectural designs for their clients. Their work can then can be loaded and displayed onto large suspended LCD screens that act as the billboards within the 20,000 square foot office space that is located on the 32nd and 33rd floor of the South Park Center building.

ADVENTIST BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTER Post COVID Healthcare Design IAPD Capstone Design Studio - Fall 2020
35
ADVENTIST BEHAVIORAL HEALTH LOCATION: WILLITS, CA (LAMPRICH CENTER)
Mental health facility design has changed immensely over the past decade, however the overwhelming prevalence that mental health is known for still presents us as designers with many challenges to create sensitive and welcoming spaces for those who find themselves in various stages of mental distress. With that being said, the overall goal of this project for our team of three was to design an outpatient mental health clinic that helps ease the anxiety of patients and staff, while also encourages the reopening of healthy spaces that provide care during and after a global pandemic. We were also given the task to design 1 product and 1 furniture piece that could then be used within the space.
What can a physical mental healthcare space provide in a time where refuge seems to be the safest?
1 2 3 4
GOAL 1:
HEALTH
Provide a post COVID mental health facility that eases the anxiety of patients and staff
GOAL 2:
PSYCHOTHERAPY
Create a facility that helps people with a broad variety of mental illnesses and emotional difficulties
GOAL 3:
SAFETY/SECURITY
Provide a place that patients and staff feel comfortable coming to
GOAL 4:
NATURAL HEALING
Provide meditative areas by emphasizing nature within the interior and exterior of the building
36
CONCEPT: PERSONAL GROWTH
With the chosen site being located near the redwood forest, the idea of nature came to mind as an overarching concept idea for the overall design. Research shows that being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress, and increases pleasant feelings. When it came to connecting mental health and nature, the growth of the trees within the forests act as a strong metaphor for the growth of the patient as they continue their health journey throughout their life.
37
EXISTING BUILDING & PROGRAM
Located on the Adventist Health Medical Campus, this 16,000 square foot, L-shaped office building was a fast track 12 month design and build project that was divided into 4 separate zones. Because this building was programmed for multiple functions, there are multiple main entrances to the facility. Therefore, our team made it one of our goals for this project to reduce the amount of entrances and make it more clear to users where to enter the building.

EXISTING FINISHES
As you can see, the existing exterior of this building uses a combination of materials. As we moved forward with this redesign, we wanted to stay true to the original building by emphasizing the new main entrances to the facility with cedar cladding alcoves. As we analyzed the existing interior finishes, we found that overall the interior felt very cold and sterile. We also noticed that there was a lack of furniture within the space. By bringing in comfortable furniture along with adding warm colors and textures in this project would help make the new space feel more inviting to patients and staff.
39
B A 140’ x 66’ (9,240 sqft)
PROPOSED OUTDOOR DEVELOPMENT
The original site had a large open lot that wasn’t being utilized, thus it was very important when redesigning this building to update the outdoor area as well. The goal was to emphasize the indoor outdoor relationship, which was done by providing outdoor waiting areas, walking pathways, and private reflection seating areas as well.
40
EXTERIOR SCULPTURE SCHEME
This outdoor design includes the idea of telling a story of how a person evolves over time at this mental health clinic. This is illustrated through a series of sculptures within the outdoor space. It is broken up into three stages in which a statue will represent each phase of the patients’ journey: solitude, getting help/progress, and hope.

MOOD DISORDER
If you have a mood disorder your general emotional state or mood is distorted or inconsistent with your circumstances and interferes with your ability to function.
WING B
ANXIETY & MOOD DISORDER
- Majority of rooms are private session therapy - More individual seats should be used in waiting room
ANXIETY DISORDER
Anxiety disorders differ from normal feelings of nervousness or anxiousness, and involve excessive fear or anxiety.
- Some group therapy - Primarily yoga and music therapy is best
FOOD DISORDER
Eating disorders are illnesses in which the people experience severe disturbances in their eating behaviors and related thoughts and emotions.
WING A
EATING & PSYCHOTIC DISORDER - Tends to be more group therapy - Incorporates more family therapy rooms - Views to exit is very important - Visual stimulus is a larger concern
PSYCHOTIC DISORDER Psychotic disorders are severe mental disorders that cause abnormal thinking and perceptions.
INTERIOR ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY
The main idea of the interior layout was to separate the overall facility into two wings. By having two wings that are separated by disorders allows for the design of each wing of the building to be customized to the needs of the types of patients that will use that space. It was also done to help limit the amount of patients in one waiting space in order to ease anxiety due to COVID 19.
42
PORTABLE CHECK-IN PRODUCT
Limiting touch points within the experience of this project is a priority that we found could be maximized in the check-in portion of a patient’s visit. This product was designed to allow patients to check-in and notify the doctor upon their arrival. This system also allows them to confirm their identity, take their temperature, help with future appointment scheduling, and aide with signing of forms and payment. This product is also portable and can be moved to different spaces throughout the facility.

Soft furniture is used for safety purposes in the therapy rooms, as well as it brings a sense of comfort to patients and staff. Hard table top surfaces as well as laminate flooring are used throughout the facility in order to keep the space clean. Neutral colors are used on the walls and floors, while the main pops of color is brought into the space through the use of furniture.
47
MODULAR BREAKOUT SPACE SEATING UNIT
Breakout lounge spaces were incorporated into the overall design of this mental health facility in order to provide breaks within the long primary corridor in wing A. These areas are primarily used when someone has to step out of a private session room and be on their own. The seating elements in these spaces were designed to provide a subconscious privacy for users while still following mental health facility guidelines for safety.
Built-in raised hard tabletop allows users to have a writing surface
Laminate can be cleaned easily
Perforated detail provides a sense of privacy for users while still providing security site lines for staff. This metal detail is encased in glass for easy cleanability.

ZHU PASTA Pasta + Branding + Packaging Design Design Studio II - Spring 2018
51
ZHU PASTA “Back to the Roots of Pasta” While we do think of pasta as a culturally Italian food, it is likely the descendant of ancient Asian noodles. The goal of this design is to make a healthy pasta that also gives credit to the history of where pasta originated. Bamboo is one of the world’s most utilized and versatile plants on this planet, and because every part of the bamboo plant is put to use by Asian cultures, the freshly erupting edible culms that sprout next to the plant are commonly consumed in China. Bamboo shoots are rich in various components and have many health-promoting bioactive compounds as well as its effectiveness in decreasing blood pressure, balancing cholesterol and helps aid in weight loss. The original pasta dough we think of is made from durum wheat flour mixed with water and eggs. This product replaces flour with bamboo shoots that are ground into a fine powder, giving the consumer a healthier version of pasta.

Bamboo shoots are cooked to take away bitter taste and kill all bacteria
After cooked, the shoots are ground down into a fine powder

GOAL 1:
This project was developed within a sponsored studio with Sloan. The overall design intent is meant to provide a portable bathroom unit that would be placed at outdoor events and can be used by anyone. The general shape provides a modular product that can then be arranged to different configurations according to the layout of the event they are used at. The interior contains enough space to provide a comfortable environment for a wheelchair or even a baby stroller. The unit has a flushable toilet that uses partially dirty water from a graywater system that is connected to the sink. This design choice creates a more sustainable and water efficient product. Once flushed the waste is then held in a separate storage container hidden from the users creating a more pleasant environment for them. However, once full, it is easily accessed from a panel on the outside of the unit.

CLASSIC CONSOLE Furniture Within the Home Environment Workshop III - Fall 2020
61
CLASSIC CONSOLE The goal of this project was to create something that was needed within the home environment. This piece of furniture doubles as an entry table along with shoe storage. Even though we tend to think of shoe storage racks as very utilitarian pieces of furniture, it was important to make this piece just as beautiful as any other piece of furniture within the home. Taking inspiration from traditional furniture styles, this console table incorporates intricate detailing that was cut primarily using the CNC.

SHUTTER
STEP 1: TRACK ASSEMBLY
The goal of this project was to design a collection of three objects that had to have at least one movable part. We were then given the task to choose one of those objects and build it in shop. Based on the simple function of tambour doors, vertical blinds and curtain systems, the design of a coffee table, console table, and entertainment center were designed and engineered to allow the user to manipulate the product by choosing to have the end caps or middle shelf closed off to the viewer. This is done by a curtain like material that slides around a continuous track that is attached to the bottom of the main top.
STEP 2: TABLE ASSEMBLY
STEP 3: CURTAIN ASSEMBLY 1/2” support sticks are sewn between upholstery to give the curtain stiffness and weight.
