AUSTIN RESOURCE CENTRE FOR THE HOMELESS / INTERIOR DESIGN V / ALLISON GASKINS / FALL 2012 The goal of this project is to create a comfortable interior environment that allows freedom for the homeless clients to explore opportunities provided by various agencies, wait comfortably for their day to pass by, and experience more of the building that is currently provided for them in a less intimidating manner. This is achieved by opening up the previously limited second and first levels of the building to the clients, creating an equal grounds space for homeless clients and agency employees to interact.

AUSTIN RESOURCE CENTRE FOR THE HOMELESS / INTERIOR DESIGN V / ALLISON GASKINS / FALL 2012 Multiple resource hubs are inserted into the main resource lobby. These hubs provide opportunities for the agencies within the building to represent themselves on the floor for weeks at a time, creating more oneon-one client interaction than currently exists. Each hub features ample storage for the agency, a desk level surface for more intimate interactions, a bulletin board surface, laptop storage with power outlets, and an interchangeable name plate.

agon and Vladimir encapsulates our intent for this project: to create an essence of contentment for the inhabitants and waiting. From waiting for the lottery draw, to doing laundry, to even just the next day, the client spends much time with s in the presently dark and poorly ventilated space. By improving efficiency and defining programmed zones, the enviasure of despair out of waiting and replace it with hope. Our design focuses on the existing programs and delineating r flow, acoustics, and materiality, play roles in sharper accommodation. By proposing a security system and as a result, aximum efficiency of the space is addressed. We also allow the client to maintain a level of flexibility and control through seating and table elements that consider the concept of ownership, comfort, and storage.

A large seating object nestles the corner of the space, creating a sense of community and escape for the clients. With integrated ash trays, littering would be minimized. A loocked storage feature sits below each bench. This allows for clients to claim some property of the building for their own, as well as provides the ARCH building with some much needed storage space

PATTERNING : FROM 2D TO 3D DESIGN IV / CLAY ODOM / SPRING 2012 A simple vulture skull form, derived from the 2-dimensional patterns of Alexander McQueen’s work, is driven through a series of manipulations to study the potentials of pattern and function.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN POP-UP SHOP DESIGN IV / CLAY ODOM / SPRING 2012 Alexander McQueen’s designs are boldly daring, yet intrinsically feminine. Through a series of manipulations, a simple wall exemplifies similar bold aesthetics. The sharp angles coincide with the sharp wit of his garments, creating a pop-up shop form that works well with the fashion designer’s intent.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN POP-UP SHOP DESIGN IV / CLAY ODOM / SPRING 2012 By applying the eery lace-like qualities of the 3-dimensional vulture skull pattern studies to a bold formal mass, the pop-up shop is taken to a level of the striking, yet sharp, femininity. Small details of display, such as a structural accessory wall and an encased mannequin heighten the beautifully eerie nature of the Alexander McQueen experience.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN FLAGSHIP STORE DESIGN IV / CLAY ODOM / SPRING 2012 Bold, white, angular masses define the formal qualities of the retail interior. The ceiling plane compresses the customer upon entry, then releases them into an expansive central display atrium. With haunting floating mannequins above displaying pieces of McQueen’s couture collections, this retail environment emphasizes fashion as a celebration of artistic display.

We then focused on the potential need for seating and table redesign within the theatres, and developed a design guide for future design references.
