Kelsey McDonough
Interior Designer | Entry Level As an Interior Designer I have a passion for how design can affect the efficiency and well being of people. I like to think that as Interior Designers we have the ability to help companies better utilize the space they have, while positively influencing the interactions and innovations of people within that space. When I’m not working I enjoy filling my time running, checking out new restaurants, sketching old buildings around the city, and traveling.

A c i t y k n ow n f o r b e i n g p e d e s t r i a n f r i e n d l y, t h e t r a f f i c p a t t e r n s o f those walking and biking the city were observed to influence the museum design. Making a connection between what was going on around the site and the experience within the museum was the main driver in the design concept.

Concept Statement The perforated structure of the Cholla plant is an icon of a sound and solid structure. These perforations allow for movement and for the flow of water to nourish the plants vibrant flowers. The pediatric wing of the Cleveland Clinic will use biomimicry to take these core aspects of the Cholla and incorporate them into patient rooms, the nurses stations and surrounding areas. Like the Cholla plant, patient rooms must be able to accommodate a varying amount of volume but still keep its function and focus around the patients

Concept Statement
Pastiche
Pastiche imitates with admiration things or ideas that were executed well. Rather than “reinventing the wheel� the idea of pastiche is to take elements from different places and time periods, combining them to create a new form which has inherent character and history. Taking the best parts of the past and re-imagining them. Pastiche mixes diverse ingredients together, paying homage to earlier forms, but giving them a new light that celebrates the differences of generations and periods of time. Pastiche brings together all things for the purpose of celebrating their differences

“The rigidity of a bottle’s form does not affect the fluidity of the liquid it contains.” Leon Krier
Concept Statement A strong and solid form, but inside is something that is not bound to restriction. The ability to move, like flowing water within a tree’s roots, creates an energy that lacks any evi dence of limitation. The unique patterns of nature diffuse a linear and sterile way of life, breaking the solidity through which it is contained. Pushing and flexing inside something solid and defined, allows organic and influential elements to blossom through the cracks of its deep, hidden core. The elements characterized within this scope of design will be able to move and expand to the needs of those that seek its potential, giving them the power to stretch, flow, and move despite inflexible surroundings.
