ThE FIna FoundaTIon - educAting And SuPPorting the coMMunity through Food InSecurity And nutrition awAreneSS.
In Fall of 2022 I was a part of the “fill in the blank” foundation studio. It is a studio where the students were charged withcreating a foundation,program, anddesign of their own choice. We were allgiven the same site and restrictions anddeveloped a building and outdoor stair that would encompass our vision. Thechallenge of the site was the 30 ft elevationchange that we had to navigate. Below is thedesign of the FINA foundation.

The FINA Foundation is located on the junction of the belt-line and NorthHighland Street NW. The two paths have a difference in elevation by 30 feet, causing the building to have multiple entrees for circulation. The egress locations are on the first, second, and third floors.

Within Fall 22 studio, we focused on developing designthrough transitions between physical and digital models. Within this process, I constructed various renditions of the site, building, and structure.

Islamic tessellation is a form of ornamentation that iscommonly broken into thefollowinggroups: geometric,arabesque, andcalligraphy. This ornamentation can be found in tombs,temples, as well as homes. As one of the more common branches,geometric tessellation iswidespread across the world and has influencedmany modernpatterns. The threetypes of families in thegeometric branch are fourfold, fivefold, and six fold. These groups can be identifiedby the number of “petals” the centerfigure of thedesign has. Due to theadaptability of theseformats, an abundance of patterns can be created from eachstyle. While thepatterns are diverse, the common structures are easily identified. Below are the evaluations of eachtype.
