PUBLIC VIEWING
OVERLOOKING URBAN PLAZA AND CIRCULATION VOID LOCATION: Atlanta, GA PROJECT TYPE: Atlanta Contemporar y Art Center YEAR: Fall 2020 PROFESSOR: Margaret Fletcher Atlanta is home to many galleries and museums and has a notable contemporary art scene. The Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, known locally as the Contemporary, began in 1973 as an artists collaborative. Today, it runs over 100 educational programs and exhibits over 100 artists yearly. The Contemporary has plans to extend with a mission of continuing to provide a venue for the public to engage in creation, preservation, and advancement of contemporary art. A new structure in Midtown Atlanta is being proposed to house a substantially expanded exhibition and event venue. The goal is to expand the Contemporary’s capacity to engage the public through the appreciation of contemporary art and to maintain its participation in shaping the public realm.

INSPIRING VIEWS CONNECTING VISUALLY THROUGH VOID LOCATION: Chattanooga, TN PROJECT TYPE: Elementar y School YEAR: Fall 2019 PROFESSOR: Mark Blumberg This K-5 STEAM school is located in the heart of downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee. The substance of a STEM school is important, but students needs more. Art is a step in the right direction, but studying it is not enough. What STEM students need from art is found at its core yet cannot be taught in a classroom. They need to learn how to create and innovate, which is best done through experience. Process-based learning is at the core of this STEAM school. Creativity, collaboration, and innovation can be seen at every turn, which provides an inspirational spark or encouraging reinforcement for these STEAM students.

BACK TO THE FUTURE APPRECIATING ART, HISTORY, AND CULTURE LOCATION: Columbus, GA PROJECT TYPE: Community Space YEAR: Fall 2018 PROFESSOR: Madelyn Willey This project is located at the intersection of 6th Avenue and 8th Street in Columbus, Georgia, at the center of the Liberty Heritage Historic District. It is one of three historic districts in the primarily urban fabric of Columbus. The district was first settled in the 1830s by freedmen and then became home to many freed slaves following the Civil War. It was a thriving area for new businesses, construction, and the arts until World War II. The program for this site recognizes its role as an armature for the future of the district, providing additional architectural infrastructure to establish its status as a center for art and entertainment, while recognizing the cultural assets that already exist. It is the manifestation of the competing concepts of production and representation with Art Space and Work Space comprising approximately 60 percent of the program. The rest is made up of constructed community space and a small hotel with both typical guest rooms and housing for artists in residency. Much of this program resembles that of an urban club but subverts the traditional exclusive nature of these institutions by being community oriented. The program is vague and is referred to as viewing space, making space, gathering space, and staying space.
Section perspective highlighting the ramped circulation that takes guests through the making spaces and viewing spaces to get to the staying space.

BACK TO THE FUTURE | FALL 2018
On the site currently stands, in a state of ruin, the gutted facade and structure of the former J&M grocery store that served the community. The liberty district contains architectural contributions from local African American builders and craftsmen. African American history and culture are prominent in this area of the city. The project appreciates the rich art, history, and culture of Columbus past and present. In addition to views of the city itself, art is displayed in viewing spaces, culture is exhibited in the making spaces, and history is demonstrated by the building and its galleries. The design consists of multiple integrated ramps that allow visitors to view both the interior spaces and the surrounding city. The ramps create a route by which visitors can experience all of the spaces.

INTERIOR-IZING THE PUBLIC REALM RE-DEFINING INTERIOR PUBLIC SPACE LOCATION: Atlanta, GA PROJECT TYPE: Interactive Exhibits YEAR: Spring 2020 PROFESSOR: Jennifer Pindyck This project redefines interior public space by bridging the gap between virtual and physical communities. A sense of community is enhanced by mirroring, replicating, and promoting the tension between strangeness and familiarity, activity and idleness, and purposeful and purposeless behaviors inherent in successful spaces in the public realm.

INTERIOR-IZING THE PUBLIC REALM | SPRING 2020
The project incorporates interactive exhibits that encourage physical connection and face-to-face interactions by its visitors who can use heads-up technologies to make music, create dances, tell stories, and play games. The creations are shared within the space and also through social media thus building and bridging both communities. After all, as Christopher Alexander said “Those of us who are concerned with buildings tend to forget too easily that all the life and soul of a place, all of our experiences there, depend not simply on the physical environment, but on the pattern of events which we experience there.�
AUBURN UNIVERSITY | MARGARET SHATTUCK
This project allows for the physical expansion of community as well. It is located in the upper east side of West End in Atlanta near a MARTA station and several bus stops, giving proximity to an urban/walkable part of town and the MET.
41
42
INTERIOR-IZING THE PUBLIC REALM | SPRING 2020
Both the interior and exterior of the project aid a sense of community, bringing the public realm indoors and outdoors. The site is located in a very active part of town with the MARTA overhead, a train to the east, a bus stop across the street, bike lanes, and the West End MARTA Station to the south. The existing parking lot located beneath the MARTA line is converted to a covered outdoor area containing interactive play space. The exterior of the building is used for projections, to include the content created by visitors in the interior. The building is divided into two parts with active interaction technology space in the back and the tension space between all the activities in the front.
AUBURN UNIVERSITY | MARGARET SHATTUCK
The interior space at the front also includes a cafĂŠ and comfortable seating. This allows people to relax for a few minutes or a few hours and provides a glimpse into the activity happening in each surrounding space. This further emphasizes the tension found between the strange and familiar, activity and idleness, purposeful and purposeless behavior, interactive and passive media, and physical and virtual realm. The back rooms have different interactive technologies paired with different activities.

THE FITTING ROOM CELEBRATING CHOICES
LOCATION: Montgomer y, AL PROJECT TYPE: Furniture Showrooms YEAR: Summer 2020 PROFESSOR: Kevin Moore and Gorham Bird The fitting room concept was explored in both a domestic furniture showroom, shown to the right, along with an office furniture showroom. The furniture showrooms allow clients to “try on” different office environments with “fitting rooms” where they can see how different pieces work together, rather than viewing pieces of furniture in isolation.
Unfolded drawing showing a time lapse of a client testing different furniture pieces in the domestic showroom fitting room.

THE FITTING ROOM | SUMMER 2020
The office showroom is organized with a cafe near the front entrance, where clients are received and can casually meet with their designers and sale representatives while enjoying a snack or coffee. The boardroom and meeting room are nearby should visitors desire a more private or focused meeting space with teleconference capabilities. There are also working offices located along the far-left wall which serve as pre-set display areas.

AXONOMETRICS Along the back wall are four “fitting rooms” set
up for the four primary office spatial groupings.
SECTION Behind each fitting room is a large display wall that
showcases different chairs and accessories relevant to each spatial category along with different materials for the floor, wall, tabletop, and chairs.

THE FITTING ROOM | SUMMER 2020
Each architectural element is a light gray or whitewash to allow the colors and textures of what is being displayed to pop. The entire showroom uses museum lighting to highlight each item on display. As clients “try on” different office environments, this unique showroom celebrates the everyday items of an office as a careful and joyful set of choices.
AUBURN UNIVERSITY | MARGARET SHATTUCK
DIAGRAM These functional spaces are defined by storage and display
walls that either hide or highlight the everyday elements of a working office. Set in discrete frames, the sheer variety of elements adds life to the showroom as an organized system.
PERSPECTIVES A resource room is located in the center of the
space where clients and designers can select additional chairs, accessories, fabrics, and flooring to “try on� in a fitting room. There are also a range of ceilings for comparison.

MARKET HALL INVITING GUESTS UPWARDS LOCATION: Aarhus, Denmark PROJECT TYPE: Market Hall YEAR: Spring 2019 PROFESSOR: Matt Hall After spending three weeks visiting extraordinary spaces in Scandinavia, the time came to construct an agenda based on personal experiences and interests to apply to the mundane programs of the city. Program is usually stated in terms of function, but this project seeks to see it as an enabler of open systems less concerned with limits; programs that get out of the way of culture. The market is historically a place of trade. Our notion of this word is primarily based on the purchase of food, but trade can occur in many forms. One may not only consider the trade of goods, but also services and culture.

looking and eating. This market hall as a large stair at both entrances of the building, inviting guests upstairs to the mezzanine first, for easy looking. After deciding what to eat, guests can then use the same grand stairs for sitting and eating, either inside or outside. RENDERING The interior perspective shows the mezzanine

ROOM FOR THE COLLECTOR EXPLORING LIGHT THROUGH APERTURES LOCATION: Concept PROJECT TYPE: Museum YEAR: Spring 2017 PROFESSOR: Margaret Fletcher and Rusty Smith A Room for the Collector is a room that houses the collector’s most prized possessions: a chair and a painting. The room is considered as its own universe, internally focused and singular. Although traditional laws of the universe are still at play, such as gravity and the direction the sun rises and sets. Apertures admit light into the interior to emphasize the chair and painting, and to provoke movement throughout the space.
First iteration of apertures designed to allow interior light to showcase painting and chair.

IMAGE SERIES left The second iteration was designed to
break symmetry and create contrast between the surfaces. A series was developed to study how the interior light changes at different times of day. COLLAGE This collage was digitally made by combining a few
images from the light study to allow the chair and painting viewable in one image and to provide human scale.
