The art of mosaic is rooted in history, and is also applicable to the contemporary art world we know today. Mosaics are the art of arranging small pieces together in order to form a larger scene. This art form correlates to the coworking space at NEXT where elements of the traditional workspace and contemporary workspace have been remade, reimagined, and put back together again in order to create a space that optimizes collaboration between the various Nexters. The space is intentionally designed to provide flexibility of space for reimagined uses, and for a diverse palette of posture to support the needs of a diverse population. This project was created and rendered in done in Photoshop.

This group project required me and my team members to brand and design a restaurant and boutique hotel. Fauve Restaurant & Boutique Hotel is inspired by the color and visual texture of the fauvist art movement of the early 1900s. The restaurant provides a vibrant experience for diners during daytime an nighttime hours. The monumental stair greets guests as they enter the main space. It is defined by a custom partition that extends from the main floor up to the second floor guard rail and provides a cohesive link between the two floors. The boutique hotel on the second floor provides comfortable lodgings for guests and views of downtown Manhattan, Kansas. The second part of this project involved the technical aspects of design including construction documents, bid package, and FF&E and material specifications. This project was drafted by hand and was rendered with a hybrid of hand and Photoshop rendering. The project was then put into Revit where the construction documents were finalized. Team members: Shannon Britt, Alicia Pellen, Hannah Soijka

Looking at the New York City skyline one sees strong horizontal lines with sporadic peaks of height delineating important architectural landmarks. Drawing inspiration from these views, height is used to signify importance throughout this loft space. Served space is accentuated with the experience of full ceiling height while serving space feels more intimate, with the mezzanine floor lowering the ceiling. The preexisting columns in the space add a feeling of definite verticality. They also act as an outline for the space plan where both served and serving spaces are defined by the columns within which they are positioned. The use of height and boundaries lend the space an air of order and hierarchy. The New York Loft project was a completely hand-drafted and hand-rendered exercise that showcases a design that incorporates a single-person living space inspired by the Art Deco movement and the Eames Lounge Chair and
Ottoman.

The expression of wind and its dynamic nature is the inspiration for the kiosk’s design and details. The use of linear repetition implies movement as an expression and abstraction of wind; a natural extension of the space can be witnessed as the linear roof elements cast ever changing shadows across the plaza throughout the day.
group project allowed us to work in tandem with Korean interior design students from INJE University. We corresponded with them about the site
The Kiosk
of the kiosk (SSH square in Busan, Korea) and about our design ideas. This was also an opportunity to work in metric and to design to Asian anthropometric standards. This model was developed through multiple, physical iterations and then drafted in SketchUp. The final presentation was rendered in Photoshop and put together in Adobe Illustrator. Team members: Bethany Brenner, Kelly Lange

This interdisciplinary team is made up of Kansas State students from architectural engineering, interior architecture and product design, interior design, and textile science. We are being funded by the Environmental Protection Agency for Phase I of an endeavor to prototype and proove the working concept for the design of a net zero energy air filter. Currently, we are working on 3D printing a prototype of a fan and wiring a solar panel to a motor so that the device is not reliant on the power grid. With this success of this project, we hope to be accepted for funding in Phase II where we would move to full production of our device. Team members: Natalie Hill, Imranul Islam, Michelle Ragan
