Cabinet of Curiosities How to: Reflect your living style in a pop-up space?

“Home is where one starts from.”-T.S. Eliot. Home is imperative as it is a direct reflection of your living style. It is not just a place to sleep but it makes a statement of who you really are. The way you place your side table or the color in your living room are all conscious choices that express your beliefs and lifestyle. Keeping that in mind, Cabinet of Curiosities is a combination of personal preferences and a functional flea market. In terms of interior design, the project falls into the category of narrative environment. Space invites different people to duplicate their own homes and sell their products. Physically being in the surroundings may increase the capacity to understand or feel what they were experiencing. It is a role play where the buyer has the opportunity to place himself/herself in the situation before purchases.
Psychology of Space In Samuel D. Gosling's book, Snoop: What your stuff says about you. New York: Basic books. Professor Gosling explores the ways in which our private spaces reflect our personalities in unexpected ways. “If you meet someone for a short period of time you only have a very short sample of their behavior. But the items in their home reflect persistent and repeated behaviors and choices (whether deliberately or subconsciously), carried out time and time again. This makes them a very reliable way to gather information about that household.”
Claiming your identity “We use our homes to make purposeful and deliberate statements about ourselves.” “I call these “identity claims’, and they’re designed to reflect our attitudes, our goals, our values, our roles and priorities. You might be displaying cultural iconography, photos of you with your partner, certain books you want people to see. You’ll find these in your public spaces, places where you’re trying to essentially say to people visiting ‘this is who I am and this is what matters to me’.”
Choosing our thoughts and feelings “ This is also something we can do deliberately to our space, but the goal here is to make us think about certain things and feel a certain way.”
Traces of behavior “This is the subconscious way we affect our space. Like Sherlock Holmes looking for evidence of criminal behaviors, someone’s home shows evidence of normal everyday behavior, which can tell me something about who they are."

Look out through the window The window seems to be the source of “spying” on other neighbors. There is always one unit with the loudest children, one with a wonderful grandmother, and one with a husky puppy. "They hurried to finish breakfast and went out."
"All the neighbors are sleeping..."
"Neighbors are going on vacation."
Rear Window Rear Window is a 1954 American Technicolor mystery thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock. A wheelchair-bound photographer spies on his neighbors from his Greenwich Village courtyard apartment window, and becomes convinced one of them has committed murder, despite the skepticism of his fashion-model girlfriend.
" Pool man"
" One minute"
"See you"

"Time to leave"
"Two little cute guys"
" How many children upstairs?" "They are arguing again"
"How a busy community"
Development Process In intervention, the existing space has been split horizontally into two floors. The public area is divided into 25 independent boxes that allow each vendor to have their own space to display vintage items. Multiple rooms in one area will result in a complex circulation system and participation in narratives. How do you get in and out of the rooms? How do you explore the space? These behaviors could make exploring the space more engaging.

The western section of Queen is a centre for Canadian broadcasting, music, fashion, performance, and the visual arts. Over the past twenty-five years, Queen West has become an international arts centre and a tourist attraction in Toronto.
Parkdale Theatre 1605 Queen Street West, Toronto, ON M6R
The Parkdale opened on April 5, 1920, in time for the summer season. Designed by Howard Crane of Detroit.
The theatre closed on July 6, 1970. The building on Queen Street in Parkdale remains today, but it has been converted into shops that specialize in second-hand and antique furniture.

Floor Plan To blur memories and keep curiosity, all exterior materials are the same. Furthermore, the community's appearance is restored. People can get some internal information from outside the window to emphasize how different the inside is. On the second level, people can sneak into others’ “home” in a bird's eye view.

There are five different types of rooms in the space, each reflecting a different interior function. In some rooms, people could access upstairs by climbing a ladder. I wish all guests could truly be part of the story while discovering interesting goods to buy.

Cloud 88 Live presently, die gracefully.
88 Palliative Care addresses these inconsistencies by proposing interventions and concepts that embed elements of the natural environment into the patient’s space, both in hospitals and at home, in order to educate families and patients about the natural process of dying. These natural gestures simulate the life cycle through materiality, light, and the poetic role of decomposition in the natural world. The materials used are innovative, sustainable, evoke inquiry, curiosity, joy, and comfort; creating a symbiotic relationship with the patient, caregivers and space. They naturally degrade as well, becoming a companion to the patient and families, giving permission to acknowledge and share in the fragility of life, hopefully easing the process of saying goodbye and coming to terms with illness both terminal and chronic

China: Growing awareness Today’s approach to death, as a culture in China, it is unspeakable. Any mention of death or palliative care in a conversation will result in silence or a subject change. However, no matter how much one may want to avoid the topic, it is an issue that should be discussed. Unfortunately, based on The 2015 Quality of Death Index data, the adoption of a palliative care approach in China has been slow, with most healthcare resources focused on curative treatment. The general public has difficulty understanding and accepting the premise of palliative care and hospice. According to report, “China ranks below average in the environment/ quality of care /and community engagement/ compared to 79 other countries. It reflects this limited availability and the poor quality of palliative care in general.” The 2015 Quality of Death Index
Home-Based Palliative Care According to the data, most people want to be home with their families when they are living with complex illnesses, especially young people. Palliative care allows people living at the home to feel independence and ownership over the rest of their lives.

Patients may spend most of their time in bed with their vision limited to the ceiling, so textile installations hang in these areas. This design is intended to provide a sense of inner calm and interaction to patients. Additionally, besides the ceilining stallationion, foldable sets are attached to the wall for use as a temporary bed when patients have visitors staying the night.

Materials & Degrading The materials used BIOTECA Biodegradable Plastics which are plastics that can be decomposed by the action of living organisms, usually microbes, into the water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. A symbiotic relationship with the patient, caregivers, and space is created through the use of innovative, sustainable materials. Furthermore, they naturally degrade, becoming a companion for both the patient and family, allowing them to acknowledge and share in the fragility of life, easing the process of saying goodbye and accepting chronic and terminal illnesses.

Refresh Visualising the change
26
The concept of expressing patches over time brings forward the issue of previous repair and maintenance as something always existing but not expressed nor efficiently done. The concept also addresses issues on how to rethink the methods of repair and progress today and how change defines and represents the Statehouse. Through these design interventions, I hope to repair and reinforce the relationship between the Rhode Island citizen and the state government by adding communication elements and new functions. The interventions aim to change the way State House staff, politicians, and everyone involved in state governance work together and with the larger community. Enhance the interaction between workers, and improve the relationship between them. From the scattered to the whole.
Rhode Island State House State House in Rhode Island is the seat of state government and a splendid example of Renaissance architecture. There are offices for the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, and General Treasurer in this building, which also houses the Rhode Island General Assembly's legislative chambers. Other building highlights include the State Reception Room, the State Library, and the Charter Museum, which houses Rhode Island’s 1663 Royal Charter alongside other historic documents and objects. The Rhode Island State House was designed by McKim, Mead & White and took nine years to build (1895-1904).
Timeline My project addresses the RI Statehouse by enhancing and expressing change from the past while promoting and creating change in the present, and future. Previous repair and maintenance is something always existing, marble block to marble block. My question is: What should the State House of the 22nd century look like?
Who works in the State House?
According to the original space planning, the offices could be connected if the doors were left open. Perhaps the designer hopes to encourage cooperation and interaction between employees. In terms of movement, the staff can walk from the leftmost room to the rightmost without using the corridor. Most offices are closed to maintain the privacy of work. An increase in the number of employees has led to some offices needing to accommodate roughly 3 employees and their office supplies. The doors connecting the offices are currently abandoned and people prefer to use space efficiently.
27
My State House Maps The competition, called My State House, asks participants to consider this iconic building and its expansive grounds in order to suggest interventions to make the State House more welcoming, accessible, dynamic, and available to the community. Many ideas for intervention came from the over 300 maps created by participants. State House could be made more dynamic; "let's add a little color to this white building." More engagement in communities; "show outdoor movies every weekend." More welcome; most citizens don't know they can enter; they ask for a sign.

Diagram Because the basement is half underground, the first floor has a 19' ceiling height. By placing two transparent boxes, the staggering levels with the original building were formed, thereby creating a new spatial order. The lower twisted box is open to the public, it contains the cafe and seating area to allow the vistors to enjoy their leisure time. The upper box is open to the private worker to give a semi-outdoor area to relax.
The patches with the media facade applications aim to attract people's attention to this outdated building and regain the curiosity of its citizens about the State house. The interventions communicate open to the public and invite more engagement.

BrokenShip Museum How can an exhibition truly trigger visitors’ empathy?
32
The BrokenShip Museum provides a common space where all visitors can emotionally connect with the presented items. It is very different from the traditional one-sided presentation. We encourage every visitor who walks into the common space to contribute and share their deepest emotional memories. A single timeline was used to narrate the memories, knowing we can't go back in time. Visitors can only choose to move forward, both mentally and physically. BrokenShip is a unique space that shares with others yet remains very personal; one can choose one's own path. No one can be exactly the same, therefore, individuals who walk into BrokenShip Museum may choose a different path and end up in different emotional surroundings. Step by step, little by little, visitors may develop a stronger connection with the space. More so, it is a self-discovery journey that no one else can duplicate or take away. Every corner in this particular shared space may take the visitor to somewhere in his/her memory, the forgotten memory.
Analysis of Relationship Based on the work of Helen Fisher, Ph.D., neuroscientist and Senior Research Fellow at the Kinsey Institute, and Lucy Brown, Ph.D., Clinical Professor in Neurology at Einstein College of Medicine in New York, below are the four stages of a relationship.
The Euphoric Stage
The Early Attachment Stage
"In the early part of a relationship—the falling in love stage—the other person is the center of your life." “In this early stage, many people show a decrease in activity in the prefrontal cortex, which is the part of the brain that has to do with the negative judgment of people.”
“Memories have been integrated—both positive and negative— you’ve gone through some difficulties, and you’ve developed a strong attachment. Intense passionate love, according to research, can even provide amazingly effective pain relief similar to painkillers and cocaine, with no side effects,"
The Crisis Stage
The Deep Attachment Stage
“Almost every relationship has a drift apart phase” “The end of love implies a rupture away from the romantic ideals" "This is that moment in which the idea of “going to the next level” begins to float around.”
"This stage is the calm after the storm. You know each other better now. It’s just very very calm. And it’s secure.”
33
No Particular Traffic Flow BrokenShip Museum has no particular traffic flow order, visitors may freely choose where to go depending on his/her emotional status and decision. Of course, the main traffic flow is parallel with the timeline which is onedimensional and can not be reversed. This project is inspired by Kazuyo Seijima’s 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. The space is tempted to break the conventional exhibition rules and allow the visitors to decide where to go. The visitors could create their own unique experiences in the public space.

BrokenShip Museum
Development Process In these four stages, the main choice space is the crisis stage, which is the third stage. In contrast to other stages, the circulation in this area will be circuitous and repetitive, presenting a drift apart phase. Participants' answers at each stage lead them in a different direction.

On the first floor, there is a reception area, staff room, and public restroom. The ground floor includes an exhibition area with four different stages of the relationship. And the first, second, and fourth stages' circulation is more simple than the third stage.
The second floor is primarily present in the third stage (The Crisis Stage). The participants will face multiple choices. Some participants will be able to observe what is happening downstairs.
The third floor primarily exhibits the Deep Attachment Stage. A fan-shaped area would give participants access to "God's perspective" to see what happened in others' selection processes.

An entrance and an exit are located on the same facade of the building. The circulation follows a gradation of relationship stages. The top floor is "God's perspective”, and the participant could observe others' movements. The perspective of God implies that we observe other people's relationship state as a third party.

Folding Sociability
Traditionally, commercial spaces always focus on their own primary market in order to operate. However, Folding Sociability try to break this rule by exploring how to adapt space to different kinds of functional uses in different time slots.
Explore the inclusivity of the public space.
The space form was inspired by origami, in which the volume is gradually changed during folding and unfolding. Rethink the spatial structure by engaging with the origami concept of expansion and reduction. The interior structure changes five times during the day. Spatial functions are defined by surrounding people. From the breakfast booth in the early morning to the bar at midnight. I hope that the revised spatial form will bring participants a different spatial experience. Participant stereotypes could be blurred in transformable spaces, such that the way people entered the space changed during every episode.

Retail Analysis Analyzing people's daily routine to give spaces useful functions. A newspaper stand that opens early in the morning will turn into coffee shops, bookstores, luncheonettes, and bars that stay open until the wee hours of the morning. I hope that having "multiple faces" in the same space can accommodate more people.

Newspaper Stand 2.5 Billion People Read a Printed Newspaper Regularly. Many people have habits of reading daily newspapers that their days seem incomplete without taking hold of early morning newspapers.
Coffee shop Having a morning coffee could help people get along with co-workers better. A study published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology showed that workers/ workplaces who consume coffee have a more positive view of self and others than do workers/ workspaces that do not consume coffee.

Bookstores Bookstoresdirectly serve the community and the individual, it supports core values of community, creativity, convening, and civility. Bookstores are often fixtures in the communities that they serve, acting as everything from a safe space for kids to come to after school, to an enjoyable way for a group of friends to pass a Saturday afternoon.
Restaurant Most restaurants open from noon to night. Workers tend to eat fast foods after long hours of work. They take a lunch break between an average of 21 and 30 minutes, the next most popular amount of time was an average of between 51 minutes and one hour at 27%.
Bar Regularly going to your local pub makes you happier, healthier and more sociable, new research from Oxford University has found. Pubs help to provide a strong social network that improves happiness and overall health.
Origami The origami is to transform a flat square sheet of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques. Origami is one of the design intervention approaches. The shape of the paper has been changed during every step. Using this feature in interior design, space function and shape have been transformed through each folding step.

Site Analysis The design site is at the junction of Chinatown and Strathcona, and nearby Main street. Main Street has been named one of North America’s 15 coolest streets. It’s an area filled with indie bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. In addition, the age range of those visiting the site is diverse and full of young people. The purpose of this space function is to meet the needs of visitor flow and provide a space that can be flexible and serve the surrounding guests.
STRATHCONA Strathcona is one of this city's earliest neighbourhoods. It features beautifully restored row houses, overflowing flower gardens, and welcoming front porches.
MAIN STREET Main Street in Vancouver, BC is one of the city's most popular destinations. Running north-south from the east side of Downtown Vancouver to the city's southern boundary, and serving as the loose divider between the westside of Vancouver and East Vancouver, Main Street has attractions, shopping, nightlife, and diverse dining.

Floor Plan There is an hour fixing time to transition to different forms. The floor plan has shown that the interior using area gradually increases according to the number of customers, and the passenger flow also changed. Morning fresh flowers, the early newspaper and grab-and-go quick breakfast shop. The store opens at five o'clock to serve guests who have to get up early. In the morning, workers could have a coffee run with their colleagues, or read books at the bookstore to spend spare time on another side of the building.

Light calorie meals are provided from noon to afternoon. Clients could enjoy healthy lunches. On the other side of the space, the bookstore filed has become wider, and a presentation stage and auditoriums have been added. Communicating or a meet & greet could be held during this time. At night, the Main Street entrance is closed, leaving the alley entrance open. Guests access the pub through the "back door". Enjoy all your classic pub favorites with a delicious meal. Guests were able to listen to performances, watch matches on TV, or host parties in the private rooms.

Section According to the needs of the guests at different times, the function has been changed in the same field. The movement of the wall could affect the circulation and the interior structure. The space first starts as an enclosed space, then is transformed to two sides, then to two entrances, then finally to a single entrance in the alley.

The wall is divided into an equal-sized square (450mm x450mm), and each grid could form the seating area, dining tables, stage and shelves during partial folding at the same time or individually. The space also has grid walls that can divide a space into two, cleverly separating private and public areas.

Space Design Elgin Park 136** 28 Avenue Surrey BC
This is a brand new house. The owner is also the builder of this house. The space pattern is compatible with spacious workspace, children's activity space, and family gathering space according to the needs of the owner. Kerri and I were tasked with designing a portion of the second floor in order to be consistent with the overall design style of the building. In keeping with the minimalist design style, the space uses black, white, and gray as the primary color palette. It also uses green and wood patterns as accents to bring unassuming vibrancy to the space. Most of the space has plenty of sunlight and the natural scenery outside the window can also be used as wallpaper to decorate the interior.

The Last Fish Rethink the protection of the environment
70
People work hard to protect the environment, as it is an imperative issue. The news is always a reminder to keep this in mind. “The United Kingdom’s Environmental Investigations Agency (EIA) says that plastic will outweigh fish in the planet’s oceans by 2050.” The Last Fish is satirical and reflects on reality. Materials for the installation were collected from discarded coffee cups and plastic food containers in a cafe. I hope to stimulate people to rethink the protection of the environment by reconstructing marine installations.
"The EIA reports that over the course of the next five years, there will be 250 million metric tons of plastic in the world’s oceans. By 2040, there will be 700 million tons — the equivalent of the weight of all the fish in the ocean combined. By the mid-century point, the plastic in the ocean “will far exceed” the density of fish in the entire planet’s oceans."
