I am from Boca Raton, Florida My Cultural background is Italian, French, English & Hungarian. My parents divorced in 2011. I live with my Father and Brother. My Mother lives in Galesburg, Illinois. I am currently a student with no job, but I am looking for one. Unfortunately I only speak one language. I am lived in South Florida my whole life, first Delray Beach, Boca Raton, now in Miami for school. I have always had an interest in interior design but it wasn’t until my second year of college that I decided to focus on interior design. The factors that have affected my path are my change in majors and my family. I changed my major from photography to Interior Architecture so I started at the School of Architecture later. For the last five year my family as struggled with the illness of my grandfather, then my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer in March 2015 then my Aunt was diagnosed with cancer in April 2016. Sadly my family has had a lot of lost in the passed year. My Grandfather in December 2015. My Aunt in April 2016 and most recently my Grandmother August 2016. The last school year was very rough for me because so much was going on it hinder my ability to focus and preform well in school.

Personal color preferences: Likes: purple, teal/turquoise and red. Black, white and gray. Dislikes: yellow, orange and green. How does it play out in your life? I don’t really wear much color. I tend to wear more black, white and gray. Occasionally I’ll wear some the colors I like. For some reason I am very draw to floral print. However, I tend to decorate with the colors I like more often then I wear them.
M.2 Theory + Color
Hue, Value and chroma are the three dimensions of color. Additive color theory applies to combining the three primiaries of light. Subtractive color theroy applies to combining the three primaries of pigment. There are many color systems available. Each system offers it own contribution to learing about and working with other colors.

History of the Project Mies & Koolhaas
The Beginning of the Design
Background Information
During the design process there was a lot of controversy about Koolhaas design and how close it was to one of Mies building.
In 1938 Mies fled Germany, when the Nazis shut down the Bauhaus He accepted the offer to head the Architecture school at Armour Institute, now IIT
He proposed to stick the Commons inside of his building. Two of its exterior walls would become walls within the student center, and the other two would become linear extensions of the center’s walls.
He was asked to design the institutes new campus. The Crown Hall was the last structure Mies build.
IHPA (Illinois Historic Preservation Agency) asked that at least 12 feet separate the two buildings. July 2000, the staff had reversed their Decision.
In 1958, he retired from IIT because his private practice was taking off. Building closest to Mies heart were the library and student union center.
A roof for the student center is Cantilevered over the Commons.
1993, IIT set a national commission to “shape the next century of IIT”.
The eastern facade of Koolhaas center adsorbs one side of Commons, to visually separate the two building Koolhaas used glass facade.
1997, Five Finalist were chosen Koolhaas was one of the final five. 1998, Koolhaas was commissioned to build the student center.
Where the 2 building meet it is Surrounded by “Mies courtyard”.
Designed by Mies

Mies Courtyard
I nterior C olor U se & L ayout Colors of the Interior
Main Colors used: Orange and green.
Koolhaas picked orange as the unifying theme to contrast Mies.
Mies painted his steel black to reflect the qualities of his building, elegant, strong and protecting, also they were mysterious and forbidding. Orange is the opposite of this, happy, warm, generous and invigoration, also its Overbearing and superficial. Green complements the orange.
Layout
Koolhaas made the building very flat, in which different elements, sport bar, bookstore, post office and cafe, would rub up against each other. He tracked movement across the campus. Noticed the heavily traveled path, which were turned into walkways through the building that divided it into “series of islands� with its own functions and visual character. Aluminum walkways that mark the heavily
Where Color is Used

Epoxy covers flooring of the sunken center Court sports bar, grand stair case. Opalescent green polished floor is in the area for pool and ping-ping tables To conceal the ventilation system louvers on the eastern facade. Pale green, eggcrate-like plastic are used. Mounted in the on the sheet are orange-faced metal cylinders that create the letters of the buildings name.

A Walk Through The McCormick Tribune Campus Center
https://youtu.be/ZMyaIbu-
Descride & Analyize When you first walk into the space that colors are a bit overwhelming at first but then as you continue to walk around the center they all just kind of fade into place. Koolhaas choose to use orange and green because it contrasted Mies minimalist Architecture of glass and steel.
Orange
Warmth, fruitfulness, brightness, happiness, cheerfulness, jovial, strength, endurance, and festivity Health: Known to increase the amount of oxygen to the brain
Green
Relaxed, growth, renewal, eternal life, freshness, youthful, healthy tranquility, peaceful Health: Balance, equilibrium, ease tremors, twitching and muscle spasms, health and wellbeing The color impacts the spaces that it is in. Setting the tone. Areas of work are orange and area of play are green. The green spaces also include Mies Courtyard, the hanging Garden, and the other little areas of natures. The orange of his building "Somehow brings out the color in the Mies building, not only by contrast, but by raising the issue of color. You suddenly see much more color in Mies." - Koolhaas Rem Koolhaas does a variety of building style, however I would say that is always makes bold statements with his building. Whether its with color, interior layout or the architectural exterior.
Conclusion & Summary
The Mcormick Tribune Campus Center at IIT contrast the building around it. Mies Van dr Roe was the origanil designer of the campus and many buildings on it. The large flat building as a open concept where everything kind of mixes together. The key colors used n the design are orange and green. They play a part in deturning the space and there purpose. Koolhas picked the color orange because it cncrasted and emphisized the buildings that Mies designed.

The colors in the film were a mix of neutral and warm colors. Each scene was emphasized by the color choice, either being all neutral or warm or a mix of both. Which set the mood for the scene or emphasized a character’s personality. Yellow was used in the film to create an sense of cauation. A foreshadowing that something is going to happen. Red and blue were used to accentuates Mia Wallace's eyes and lips. After watching this film and analyzing it I have noticed a lot more in the film that I have before. The colors chosen helps or supports the story. The colors selected can also foreshadow a situation that a character may get into later on in the film.

Discussion Color & Line “Line is the connection between two points in space. Vertical lines are a symbol of strength and stability.” The columns in the lobby provide a sense of movement and stability in the space. The material used on the columns enhance the vertical direction. One sided the column has rectangular white quartzite installed in the vertical direction to enhance the height and scale of the column and the space. Another side of the column has metal ornamentation, that draws the eye to the column and up. Color & Shape “Shape is the result of one or more line connecting to form a two-dimensional image.” The lobby has a variety of shapes, rectangle and circles. “A rectangle is a more stable shape. It is more visually interesting, a rectangular room provides more opportunities for spatial arrangement.” The columns and surfaces of the lobby are different materials accentuating the shape of the surface. The lobby itself is rectangular. The planks on the floor of rectangular as well. Certain parts of the floor have a circular design.

Rectangles and squares are used through the space. The rectangular columns and surfaces are enhanced through the use of different materials. “A rectangle is a more stable shape. It is more visually interesting, a rectangular room provides more opportunities for spatial arrangement.” The sitting areas with in the space are square. “The square is not found in nature, it has a man-made artifice, calls attention to the artisan’s creativity.”

DISCUSSION | ANALYSIS Line
“Line is the connection between two points in space.” The louver wall system is an art piece, creating portraits of artists from different period and genres with these vertical elements. This accentuates the height of the space bringing the views eye to the ceiling. It also provides a sense of rhythm and movement. The columns within the space also emphasize the height of the space. The columns connect the first and second floor of the space which highlights the double height space. The columns also provide a sense of movement within the space.
Shape
“Shape is the result of one or more line connecting to form a two dimensional image.” The large screen made of translucent circular discs contrasts the linear shapes throughout the space. Scene in the plan there are many irregular and regular shapes within the space. These shapes make up conference rooms, office spaces, among other space in the workplace. The different shaped spaces are reinforced by different colors creating an environment and stimulating the senses, making it an enjoyable place to work.
DISCUSSION | ANALYSIS Texture
“Texture is the characteristic visual and tactile quality of the surface of a material.” There are a variety of material within the space, glass, wood, concrete, paint, and fabric. These different materials provides two types of textures within the workspace. One type is natural rough, smooth or matte finished materials, such as wood, glass, concrete and fabric. The second type is reflective or translucent materials, such as glass and paint. The different texture bring harmony to the space creating unity between the two floors.
Pattern
“Pattern is the respective arrangement of shapes and colors in a systematic horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or organic sequence.” The pattern that is seen in the workspace the use of round, linear, and geometric shapes. This pattern can be found on both floor in similar areas. This repetition of these element creates a sense of unity within the space bringing everything together.
COLOR | PALETTE
CONCLUSION| EXPERIENCE
The use of line, shape, texture, pattern, and color with the workspace is creates a enjoyable work environment. The color chosen, red, yellow, blue, and green create an energized work environment due to there vibrate hue. The patterns and textures keep the space from becoming dual. The use of wood brings a touch of warmth into the workplace creating a contrast with the energizing colors. Looking at this work environment and analyzing each design element really helped to understand the space. It also was a good example of what can be done in the workplace. Just because it’s a work environment it doesn’t mean you have to shy away from color, texture and patterns.
