smart systems in nature: living light This project is focused on the design of a headquarters for the film company, Annapurna Pictures. Located in the historic Fire Proof Storage building in Knoxville, Tennessee, this project incorporated the old 1920’s gridded layout with a new modern intervention that responds to the experimental atmosphere and mission of the film studio. The office space was spread out over five floors and had to provide large conference “war rooms” as well as a large theatre space for movie premieres and showings. The program responded to the large red wave-like intervention that allowed for light to be reflected into the offices.

Inspired by the wave like movement that cause Dinoflagellates to illuminate, the wave in the building also serves as a vessel for natural light to enter the building. The facets along the intervention help the sun’s rays pierce into dark corners of the vast concrete structure. The reflection of the light creates moments in the building of intense light and darkness. This allows the occupants to have new experience during every hour of the day.

artist in residence: candoro marble
For this project, we were paired with another student in our studio and given an artist to interview and base the design on. Our artist, Althea Murphey-Price, drew us in with her us of texture and color in her printmaking pieces. The minimalistic nature of the artwork inspired our design and offered a light and airy contrast the the Beaux-Arts exterior. The texture of the pieces also helped us create a layered glass view from the gallery to the residence.

In addition to creating a residence space for our artist, we designed a studio work space for an artist and their creative group. Our artist studios became pods with movable walls and glass walls to see the process of creating. This would thusly become a main street of artists that could then exchange ideas and open their space up to the public, becoming a market of art.

luminaire design: glow

luminaire design: glow In order to manipulate light, several variables like form and materiality were toyed around with to create the luminaire. The final iteration uses various materials, like paper, metal wire and 1/8th� thick opaque plastic to give off a dream-like glow. The form of the luminaire was to be organic and wave like to give the light movement and direction. The upward facing direction of the pendant also increases this organic feeling by eluding to flowers and nature.
