Visual & Built Environments NEXT Global Real Estate Rebranding Interior Design
Elly Braate Diane Guevara, faculty mentor Natural light and nature are critical in everyday life. Natural light and connecting to the outdoors are incorporated in NEXT using large windows, with most spaces designed with glass walls to further the light into the interior. Due to Biophilia’s importance in the workplace, live plants play a huge role in the design, being incorporated into every space. Use of reclaimed woods and other recycled materials is also prominent in the design portraying the importance of Biophilia. The completed NEXT office suite design intent is supported by incorporating social distancing protocols, sanitation stations, evidence based design, and all client adjacency requests.

Art Park
Jenneken Buschur Deb de Laski-Smith, faculty mentor The focus of this project is to incorporate several philosophies of urban design while creating a 3D model of an outdoor public space. I selected art pieces to supplement the park’s purpose. The model takes inspiration from Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion. Kevin Lynch wrote about physical and spatial characteristics of created environments in The Image of the City. He defined Five Elements: Path, Edge, District, Node, and Landmark that influence human perception in cities. The intention for this project is to create a satisfying environment given the implementation of these elements. Design Expo / Live Group B / 10:45 a.m.
