MAIN CORRIDOR
TRANSITIONAL ELEMENTS DAY-TO-NIGHT, WORK-TO-PLAY The Exchange strives to emulate the dynamic of a public market by giving users a space that offers the same day-tonight transition as one would observe at the end of a market day. The solution: a design that supports a collaborative, coworking environment during typical work hours, and then transforms
into
a
social
hub
for
events
and
community
gatherings in the evening. An
automatic
supported
by
structure a
metal
of
perforated
framework
that
aluminum extends
panels,
throughout
the space, takes inspiration from overhead stall structures commonly used to differentiate each vendor’s stall as their own.
At
the
end
of
the
work
day,
the
structures
close,
prompting users to literally and figuratively “get out of the office” to encourage a healthy balance between work and play.

ENTRY TO CORRIDOR
THE STRETCH BUNGEE CORD FEATURE Initial
conceptual
development
focused
on
an
aspect
of
physical activity that could be translated into a spatial feature. Stroboscopic photography - which is characterized by its visual effect depicting continuous motion “represented by a series of instantaneous samples� - served as the inspiration for the motion studies. The progression from running to walking, and then from walking to a meditative posture was illustrated and then abstracted. The movements were simplified into linear elements, like
rotated
effect.
The
and
aligned
complete
in
form
succession
for
a
wave-
embodies and encourages
movement through the corridor, with instances in its evolution that allow short stops for interaction with the structure. Bungee
cord
creates
a
sense
of
playfulness,
and
the
variation of split-complementary colors of the cords adds visual excitement to contrast the black rubber flooring. Its flexibility and elasticity allude to the activity occurring within the adjacent fitness center.

P O E T I C D E V I C E S A S S PAT I A L F O R M S GRID SHELVING FEATURE There are many connections that can be made to the ideas of mindfulness, spirituality, and even the design process when examining themes and elements of poetry. Poetry involves form, structure, atmosphere and mood. Imagery, one of the most commonly used literary devices, appeals to the senses. Influenced by elements of poetry such as form, repetition, structure and rhythm, the custom shelving uses repetition of lines to create a simple yet strong form. The dimensions of the shelving were consciously designed to align with the existing curtain is

Moments
of transition are dictated by voids in the grid, creating a feeling of compression and release as you enter under the mezzanine, continue through the main threshold and into the expanse of the space. Natural light is not only necessary for the nature of the programming, but is then enhanced by the grid, creating a strong interaction between light and shadow. AXON: INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR STRUCTURES
