fleur KILROY webb MA INTERIOR DESIGN / ALLIED ASID, EMERGING PRACTITIONER fleur.k.webb@gmail.com m. 312-852-2444 PERSONAL STATEMENT I am looking for a position in an architectural or mixed-discipline environment, with exposure to multiple practices areas and opportunities to work on and lead design research, creative concept development and project execution. My aim is to design spatially distinctive, socially transformative and memorable public places. Ultimately I hope to specialize in interdisciplinary practice areas including branded environments, civic, cultural, event and exhibition design.

I am a problem-solver, space-planner and researcher at heart; good at shaping and refining ideas. I started out in politics, moved through hospitality procurement and boutique/local design retail environments before coming to interior design so I know about the balance sheet in addition to the big picture. I draw inspiration from my social sciences background, personal intuition and upbringing in the sunny Southern Hemisphere. Key areas of interest include: the integration of interior and graphic design disciplines; 2d/3d computational and experimental design approaches; product customizing, sourcing and manufacture; design research and critical writing.

PROPOSED RENOVATION

MUSEUM OF DESIGN FOR THE DIGITAL AGE OVERVIEW this project investigates the creation of a digital advocacy research institute and museum as a legacy project of the 2015 Biennial. In the spirit of the Inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial, the project aims to engage public and academic interest in how architectural and designs decisions preserve and re-create material culture for the digital age. taking a Speculative Design approach based in a more dynamic view of reality, the project will explore how to develop culturally-relevant environments that enrich digital society.

PROJECT STATEMENT The re-purposing and renovation of the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum building in Lincoln Park is explored, drawing on its nature setting to comment on the ubiquity, and consequent disappearance, of digital technology in contemporary life. As the romantic ideal of intimacy with nature once spurred our cultural evolution, the mission of the institute and museum is to further discussion of how the digital and our material and virtual relationships with this new wave of technology are reshaping our physical environments and behavior in them today.

The design intent is to find new avenues to reveal and express the inherent complexity of materiality. The project aims to enrich all stakeholders with an understanding of the dynamics shaping material culture in digital society and explores the role of design beyond functional and performative requirements.

speculative design THINKING Assessing current challenges in the design of public space the intent of speculative design is to assist the designer in looking beyond an at-hand reality, to promote engagement with a deeper reality and self-awareness of the design role in order to promote development of public environments that support shared experiences and mutual learning in the digital age. The speculative research process begins with an exploration of why a digitally mediated materiality needs an object-based focus and uses social theory and philosophy to frame social and material change. With a better understanding of what is represented in our material culture, our designs can shape knowledge and promote greater sociability in public spaces.

exploring object-based design in practice

“design physical cues to manage attention

in ambient environments”

embodied info =

= boundaries

A design methodology is developed to incentivize the design of critically-informed and diverse public spaces that represent the broad interests of digital society. It represents an open-ended process and system to help keep object-based design opportunities in mind.

Program development (TOP LEFT) Potential venue programming lists were distributed on the axes of the matrix and these were analyzed in terms of core/peripheral vision and mission value and in terms of relative scale, adjacency. In the final instance their complementarity/sympathies in maximizing the Speculative Design objectives of object agency and object autonomy were evaluated and weighted in creating balanced programming for the venue. Preliminary diagramming

(BOTTOM LEFT) The selected programs and their adjacencies suggested groupings charting three primary circulation routes. These “speculative design zones” reflect public, private and semi-private programming corresponding to cultural, learning and workplace environments. Each route was visually assessed and adjusted for conceptual harmony, functional efficiencies and interdependencies across programming.

The resulting framework supports the role of designer as interpreter of complex intersecting materialities and virtualities in digital society. The matrix frame integrates design variables in a holistic manner and enables the evaluation of design objectives executed across the project. The matrix helps develop and monitor uniform and cohesive interpretations of design strategies and tactics and their systematic implementation within project spaces.

SPECULATIVE DESIGN MATRIX (RIGHT) Speculative design thinking considers two closely related design objectives in response to the material and virtual conditions shaping digital society - object agency and object autonomy. Looking to social theory, four contemporary design opportunities have been mapped out along these two axes namely: • boundary/border conditions as factors influencing agency • cultural ephemera/embodied references as factors influencing autonomy

“design to re-center/create familiarity through

and focus on object affinities

building a speculative toolkit

= ephemera “design to promote discovery of with present day reality and drive awareness of nostalgia and fantasy in consumption”

Schematic revisions As additional volumes were required, the matrix was used to insure optimal positioning and interactivity of existing and supplementary areas, in accordance with the overall conceptual parameters. In this stage, particular spatial conditions were analysed as to how they advanced the dual Speculative Design goals of autonomy and agency.

Design development

Specific strategies and tactics were assigned to areas as determined by their location on the matrix; this tool facilitated explorations of connections and continuities and drove the development of a consistant and intentional design language through the building.

Space planning

(BELOW) In the space planning phase, matrix information was added to code and client requirements and translated into individually scaled volumes. These were assigned relationships according to the matrix and existing floor plates. Spatial and code compliancies were insured through the addition of circulation, egress and sanitation facilities.

DESIGN FOR THE DIGITAL AGE L3-I RESTAURANT L3-J EVENT SPACE

In the restaurant, fantastical digital forms are juxtaposed with nostalgic elements representing more traditional sophisticated comforts. Pixelated surfaces evoke associations of digital manipulation and dematerialization. At the same time, the contrast of slick, reflective surfaces with warm, rich colors, wood and brass, trigger references to the enduring and refined material histories. The additional exhibition space or event and banqueting extension presents a monochromatic contrast to this surreal exploration.

l3 - I BORDER conditions This design approach promotes collective activities, exploration and cooperation by acknowledging the role borders play in creating healthy behaviors. The public realm is seen as a place where strangers meet and as a place to invite incompleteness and anonymity allowing for learning from otherness. Borders thus function as places of exchange, engagement and familiarization.

ephemeral information

Designers can become aware of how ephemera affect their own representations and public understandings. As digital technology disrupts our patterns of consumption and our systems of value, it influences our cultural notions and physical experiences. By looking for patterns in contemporary material culture and identifying bias, designers can learn to interact with the drivers of individual choice - desire and memory - and improve consumption habits.


l3 - I

l3 - J


boundary conditions This approach aims to design spaces that build intimacy, provoke reflection and deliver richer cultural representations. Boundaries maintain access to unfamiliar spaces, events and meanings. They are devices that establish specificty and difference - without resorting to the aesthetics of imitation and faux familiarity. As such they are used in design to promote authentic modes of being, measure progress and define relevant differemces.

embodied information

This approach represents strategic design opportunities for object-based intervention in response to the growing virtualization and digitalization of the world - and consequent weakening of geography, distance and spatial understandings. It takes the form of borrowing from material cues to help us navigate the digital world and can draw our attention to objects as a shared basis of sociability. Embodied information involves using material reality to focus attention and manage information overload in ambient environments.

COMBINED APPROACHES

A space can be design to approach agency/autonomy questions from multiple persepctives, e.g. boundaries can promote familiarity and borders can assist to introduce the unfamiliar in a single space. Or similarly, autonomy concerns can be prioritized and borders can assist in maintaining identity in the face of multiple physical and ephemeral cues.

Combined Speculative Design approaches were used to create a guideline for each of the three main programs. Mixed interventions were used to form a aesthteic language and explore the evolution of tactics within and across related programs. These points of initial contact introduced design language common to adjacent areas; a language that facilitates familiar understandings and intuitive wayfinding throughout the venue.

SUMMER PAVILION CONCEPT MODEL

PROJECT GOALS My first test is a conceptual design for a pavilion for the Newberry library’s Annual Book Fair and Bughouse Debate Series. My aim here is to explore the patterns of interaction of a community – in this case books and their collectors. A balance between the sensory and conceptual is pursued. The form references futuristic fantasy but also plays with nostalgic readings of a sail, cave or simply a band shell. Subtle use of sophisticated materials like the brasscolored coatings on the thin place of the canopy’s ribs require second glances and contribute a spirit of lightness. Where the indoor space of Henry Ives Cobbs 1888 Romanesque structure is dominated by the aesthetic of musty volumes for sale, the outdoor space is evocative of a similar earthy tactility in the textures used. In addition to the object acting as a boundary allowing transition from sale to debate events, the object is open to exploration from 360-degrees and both enfolds the traditional landscaping and curves back on itself. Materials used include tensioned sail cloth, brass, packed and braced soil, wood chips, cork and articulated powdercoated metal.

PROJECT GOALS My second test is an artistic retrofit and conceptual installation of the Modern wing of the Art Institute, a 2009 addition by architect renzo Piano to the noted Beaux Arts building of the main institution in Chicago’s loop. My aim here is to examine the appeal of materiality and make its specific properties more visible and more a part of the space and create more opportunities for people to get involved in the space. My interior refitting disrupts some of the key design moves in the space whilst still allowing it to convey essential aspects of the architects design. The additions were conceived of to promote awareness of the existing language of design – the aesthetics and their participatory affect and encourage more intentional choice in navigating the space. Currently the vast space conveys a tightly regimented order and rushes visitors down the 50’ wide hall with little informational content or variety of tempo or scale. The aesthetic appeal of the space is reminiscent of sacred architecture and the Modernist creed of material simplicity but provides no sheltered space for observation or contemplation. The addition of polished concrete, rough stone benches and contrasting wood grain and opaque glass is intended to allow materiality to interrupt this passive language of form and draw attention to the textural and less obvious qualities of the space.

It wasn't long after the Chicago Fire had finally burned itself out in the early morning hours of October 10, 1871 that rebuilding in the devastated city got underway. At first there were the temporary wood-framed buildings, put-up in an effort to show that the city was already back in business, but within months brick and stone structures began popping-up all

CLIENT BRIEF + DESIGN PROPOSAL the client, the Alliance Française is a publicly funded institution with the aim of promoting French as a second language and highlighting French culture around the world. An update and expansion of the existing facility is required in order to service growing cultural activities, drive library patronage and boost visibility in the neighborhood as it undergoes a revival. The Chicago Chapter occupies two buildings connected by a renovation featuring a glass atrium completed in the early 1990s. The overall the interior space is fragmented and has poor natural lighting and limited open space. The renovation proposed involves the reconnection of two buildings and incorporation of a third to achieve a U-shaped facility with open sight lines and increased circulation. The design places the library at the heart of the institution, off a central ramp and atrium. It addresses the need for competitive, modern learning environments, spaces for member socialization and fundraising whilst capitalizing on extended frontage on West Chicago Ave, an arterial to the Magnificent Mile shopping district. The core areas will reflect a streamlined corporate identity with small thematic highlights in the form of accessories and soft furnishings that reflect France’s vibrant cultural heritage.

the LEGACY project overview As a development completed at the end of 2008, the Legacy struggled to sell many of its premier residential units. A design solution to increase the appeal of the building and its downtown location to young urban professionals is required. The tower designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz sits atop a historic building whose street-facing facade has been retained. In consequence, the path to the residential lobby and elevators at the core of the tower is long and uninspired. There is opportunity to create residential communal space that draws on the energy of the surrounding streets and invites in suitable small businesses such as a cafe, art gallery and flower shop.

CONCEPT STATEMENT H20+ maximizes the hydrating power of pure water. A new line draws on ocean botanicals to deliver sustaining nourishment. The brand finds inspiration in the secrets of the deep and simple riches of life on planet earth. The brand experience is enhanced by this reality - the reality of harvesting the riches from under the sea. The exploration of the ocean requires efforts of industrial scale. Here we discover the working dockyard as the beginning and the end of the oceanic adventure, where ships set out to bring deep-water treasures back to shore. In seeking our and uncovering these riches, great adventures are encountered and great beauty uncovered. This is the journey the H20+ brand can share with their customers in this unique space.

The conversion of the factory storage room into a factory shop and event space is an adventure that takes place against a backdrop of steel, concrete, weathered iron, brass and zinc. In this spirit, the design creates views into the working factory floor.

The branded experience begins on the building exterior with chunky window box frames in blue metal and mesh differentiating the corner of the building. The theme continues inside, applied to frames around doors and windows into the factory. Defined by the existing garage door, in an area framed out with glazing to create an entry vestibule, the entry experience is a passage through a brand tunnel imitating a “submerged� environment. The retail floor features a product sample table and spa booth and POS counter in deconstructed shipping containers. These containers form a mezzanine roof deck accessed by a pair of non-symmetrical stairs.

project description A competition was held for concepts for the 2014 Neocon Booth in a studio divided into 6 teams of 3-4 people. The winning design was collectively revised and value engineered. Our group took the theme “design for social good” and considered the personal drive of the designer along his/her career path. We asked: How will you build tomorrow, from where you stand today? The booth was designed to be futuristic and minimalist and to circulate people clockwise around a central island, and in doing so run them past a curved outside panel with an infographic time-line stretching to 2064. This experience was designed to provoke consideration of how our profession and professional responsibilities will evolve and transform. At the end of the infographic, a “peg” wall holds giveaways (small hourglasses to mark the passing of time.) In exchange for the item, guests are asked to leave a message on paper (or via Twitter) - a promise to Design Tomorrow, Today.

design brief

As an avid entertainer and BBQ host, the key priority was to tidy up and streamline the space so that it would accommodate gatherings better whilst working with the existing furniture. The second bedroom, used as a work-from-home office space, needed refining and, with the recent addition of a bedroom suite, the main bedroom needed reconfiguration and finishing touches. The client was well-travelled and had lots of photography from her trips around the world as well as many mementos; a unifying visual solution was requested. The scope of the project involved sourcing and costing product and producing FF+E schedules and detailing layouts accordingly. Budgets for two phases of purchasing were prepared and for two projects involving contractors.

PROJECT - Replace lighting fixtures

A young professional homeowner was ready for a cosmetic update at her city apartment. The client wished for the space to use monochromatic palettes and achieve a contemporary minimalist aesthetic.
