INSTRUCTOR’S NOTE

It was the last of the 2020-2021 school year, with more excitement and responsibility. As a faculty, the biggest concern was how to manage this experimental course newly developed. Because this is an initiative try to combine the WELL Building Standards with Design in a seminar course. Along with this concern, I have finished writing a research paper “Enabling Health and Wellness in the Interior Architecture and Design Studio: A Proposal for Scaffolding Based on the WELL Building Standard,” hoping that students can experience what the practice requires. This class aims to develop students’ capacities to demonstrate the ability to enable the WELL Building Standard and coordinate workplace design projects for WELL Certification. They understand how the built environment can positively impact the health and wellness of its occupants. Ultimately, this class aims to reduce the gap between education and the current health trend in practice and increase opportunities for improved built environments in terms of health and wellness by educating future design practitioners.

Making this book is a way to review my instruction through my students’ processes and outcomes. By looking at each phase of the process and its outcome, I feel like I might have had to help or teach my students more at some points. This book gives me feedback on student achievement. Also, I hope to help 1) my students apply what they have learned to the following years, 2) the future faculties in charge of the students I have taught to understand the students’ outputs, and 3) my future students understand my expectations. Lastly, I wish this book can be used as a base for creating my students’ portfolios. Many thanks to my students and colleagues for giving me this opportunity at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

This elevator provides a way for the guests to venture down to the basement and safely observe the fabrication space.

This section of the experience allows for the guest to get a clear feeling of the pieces they may have chosen for their prototype.

At this large scale 3-D printer customers can watch the furniture, walls of the pieces they are purchasing , and other aspect of the vessels be 3-D printed. Depending upon the time the guest is at Viable Vessels, they may be able to witness the process of the printed pieces being removed from the printer bay to the kit area or to the basement below.

This allows for guests to replace pieces they may no longer see as useful for their vessel.

This meeting allows for the guests to finesse their prototype into a fully functioning Viable Vessel.

I consider myself to be an innovative person because I like to make things, alter things, find solutions for problems, and I am generally inquisitive about the things that interest me. I believe that my ability to innovate has developed from the urge to understand the things that interest me. I generally have the confidence to reach any goal I put myself behind, and I think that is a unique trait, there’s nothing I, or anyone, can’t do if they work for it. I am also a friendly individual, but I’m pretty picky about who I let into my life fully. I am attracted towards people who are inspiring, peaceful, and loving, because those are qualities that I also aspire to have. My compassion and durability with people contribute to my friendliness, I think people appreciate it. I have faith in myself, just as I have faith in others.

Q Focusing on patron experience, and comfort

The material choices for both the interior and exterior of the ASI Reisen Headquarters, there is both a notion for unity and equality. The interior spaced are mainly a beautiful balance of cozy woods and crisp black metalware. The exterior of the building is coated with a chain-link skin that provides a sense of order for the lush greenery to scale the facades. Large windows provide paths for light to penetrate the interior spaces and comfortably illuminate the rooms. The architects were very mindful about the organization of space and have a comprehension of the benefits of providing a space that integrates the landscape within the architecture. The Interior programs provide agreeable places for employees to relax, read, eat and drink, and most importantly work effectively. There is a level of complexity with the organization of spaces and architectural detail, but I believe that there is a sincere minimalist approach to the material choice used in this structure.

What is your plan after this semester? Continue to explore the many facets of architecture and design, as well as the tools used to express ideas and create. What problems did you encounter in your design internally and externally? This class was especially challenging for me because of a lack of prior knowledge in the tools used for creating construction documents. In saying that, I am grateful that I was able to participate as much as I could in the course to learn by fire, and accumulate a higher level of familiarity with Revit, and the WELL Building Standard in the Workplace. How was your experience implementing the WELL Building Standard in your workplace? I was able to think about the interiority of architectural spaces and how they affect people who habitually inhabit the building. What role do you think the experience of applying the WELL Building Standard to your project will play a role in your future interior architecture/architecture work? Architectural design of spaces correlate intricately with many facets of our lives. If designers were more people focused, instead of placing the importance on budget and restraints, spaces would improve the livelihood of its occupants. What would you like to tell your instructor? Thank you for your support and efforts in this course. I wish you the best in your pursuits!!

I think that it is important to maintain a consistent attitude. Being patient and having perseverance are two things that take time to learn. Collaboration is a key part of expanding your ideals and creative energy. Be thoughtful in everything you do, learn to appreciate everything in life. Make sure everything you do is done with Purpose. Selflessness helps maintain a state of mind that exposes you to seeking out opportunity.

Creating office spaces for people whose homes are not adequate in helping them complete their work. Resolving an issue of sufficient remote workplace. Making spaces where innovation, creativity and critical thinking are present. An office does not just have to be an office; it can be a space that evokes creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and/or passion. Based on situation, personality, and interests, a Viable Vessel will provide people with a customized office that fits the needs for their occupation. Using a resource that there is an abundance of to create something new, viable and purposeful. These vessels provide a new sense of well-being when working remotely from the typical office.

Viable Vessels Viable Vessels aims to support and solve the workplace issues that evolved from the pandemic of COVID-19, while also providing a viable office solution for the future. Viable Vessels solves these issues by having a maker space where guests can come and design / build their own prototype office to be fabricated out of shipping containers that are no longer in use. Using shipping containers as the structural frame work for these offices is a sustainable design decision and provides a way for anyone to have any office of their making to be shipping wherever they work best. These vessels are designed and fabricated at the main site in Knoxville. Viable Vessels uses a team of designers to design a kit of parts that are able to slide right into the structural framework of the shipping containers. Based on the choices of the client the shipping container can be manipulated to add windows, doors and niches.

Module System These vessels are made up of three layers: 1. The site. The vessels are small enough and modular that they can be transported to any location the user wants. These locations include but are not limited to: personal plot of land or one of our shipping container communities. 2. The exterior shell, the shipping container itself. This shell acts as the structural membrane for the vessel. 3. The inserts consisting of all of the furniture and finishes. The main space that is designed based on the users working style and interests.

GREETED BY WORKER

BEGIN BUILDING

PLATFORM ELEVATOR

When a guest / customer arrives they will be greeted by an employee and will begin the process of obtaining their Viable Vessel.

Guests will begin the process by building their own prototype. The employee will have helped them understand where to start and what to consider.

The guests can walk up to, around and through an arrangement of shelves with 3-D printed pieces that will fit in the prototype.

After exiting the coffee vessel, the guests can either observe or occupy the large platform elevator in the central part of the building.

Guests will enter from the street, through the front door, and in to the reception / waiting area.

The many features of the space will be explained to the guest, and they will be prompted to enter the following areas.

As they build their prototype, customers can view and inhabit the kit pieces on display throughout the space.

As they build their prototype, customers can view and inhabit the coffee vessel to get refreshments and get a feel of what a life-size vessel would feel like.

This elevator provides a way for the guests to venture down to the basement and safely observe the fabrication space.

Barcelona chair for lounging in the waiting area.

GUIDED TO BUILD PROTOTYPE

Customers in need of a proper office space will come into Viable Vessels to have this need met.
