LOOP GARDENS IS A PROJECT I’VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR THE ENTIRETY OF MY SENIOR YEAR. IT IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS, BUT HERE IS SMALL SAMPLING OF HOW THE PROJECT IS PROGRESSING. LOOP GARDENS IS AN INDOOR COMMUNITY GARDEN LOCATED IN THE LOOP. CHICAGO IS KNOWN FOR IT’S NEIGHBORHOODS AND AT THE CENTER OF THOSE IS TYPICALLY A COMMUNITY GARDEN. LOOP GARDENS ADDRESSES THE LACK OF COMMUNITY GARDEN IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO, AND PLACES ITSELF WITHIN AN ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY BUILDING, THE HAROLD WASHINGTON LIBRARY. LOOP GARDENS PROVIDES A GROWING SPACE, AN EDUCATIONAL SPACE FOR PEOPLE TO LEARN, AND A CAFE SO PEOPLE USING THE LIBRARY CAN WORK IN THIS ENVIRONMENT. A UNIQUE PART OF THE LOOP GARDENS IS THE USE OF HYDROPONIC GROWING SYSTEMS. CONCEPT INSPIRED BY THE ORGANICALLY GEOMETRIC NATURE OF CONSTELLATIONS, THE GARDENS BECOME A JUXTAPOSITION OF VISUAL AND TACTILE TEXTURES, HARDNESS AND SOFTNESS, AND LIGHT VERSUS DARK. THE SPACE BECOME RICH AND COMFORTABLE, CATERING TO THE HIGH END CLIENTELE OF THE LOOP.

THE GOAL FOR THIS PROJECT WAS TO
CREATE A 3D ELEMENT THAT COULD BE USED IN THE SHEDD AQUARIUM’S GREAT LAKES GALLERY. MY INSPIRATION CAME FROM THE AREAS SURROUNDING THE GREAT LAKES, WHERE YOU CAN SEE THOUSANDS OF STARS IN THE NIGHT SKY. TO BRING THIS IDEA INTO THE SPACE, I CREATED A SERIES OF METAL TREES, NOT TO LIFE SCALE AND AT MANY DIFFERENT SIZES, WITH SMALL HOLES POKED INTO THE OUTER MATERIAL. THERE WOULD BE LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE, SO THE VIEWER CAN READ THESE HOLES AS CONSTELLATIONS. THE FINAL PRODUCT IT VISUALLY INTERACTIVE, AND DRAWS ATTENTION TO THE BACK TANKS.

LILLE HUSET WAS CREATED BY A LOCAL CHICAGO ARTIST. SHE CREATED A SERIES OF DISPOSABLE DOLL HOUSES MADE FROM CHIPBOARD, SO KIDS CAN DRAW, PAINT, AND CREATE THEIR OWN IMAGINARY SPACES. THIS RETAIL SHOP BECOMES A PLACE FOR HER TO REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. LOCAL ARTISTS CAN DISPLAY AND SELL THEIR ITEMS ALONGSIDE HERS, GIVING THOSE WHO MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD RETAIL SPACE A PLACE TO GROW. THE RETAIL STORE IS KID ORIENTED, PLAYING OFF OF THE FAMILIAR ‘BUILDING BLOCK’ MOTIF. USING RECTILINEAR SHAPES BOTH IN DESIGN AND IN THE PLAN, THE STORE BECOMES FANTASY BASED-SEEMING LIKE IT IS BEING PUT TOGETHER AT THE PRESENT MOMENT. THE LOWERLEVEL IS FOR ADULTS, BUT A MORE REFINED VERSION OF THE UPSTAIRS CONCEPT FOLLOWS INTO THE SPACE. THE BASEMENT LEVEL IS WHERE LILLE HUSET PRODUCES THE PRODUCT. WITH BOTH A WET AND DRY STUDIO SPACE, OFFICE SPACE, AND CONFERENCE ROOM, THE SPACE OFFERS PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW THE BRAND.

THE SHEDD AQUARIUM HAS A ‘STURGEON TOUCH POOL’ WHERE VIEWERS CAN SEE WHAT A STURGEON FEELS LIKE. THE SPACE UTILIZES STANCHIONS TO HELP WITH CROWD FLOW, BUT THEIR CURRENT STANCHIONS ARE TEMPORARY AND DON’T FIT WITH THE SPACE. TO HELP CREATE A MORE COHESIVE EXPERIENCE FOR THE VIEWER, I CREATED A SEMI-PERMANENT STANCHION TO GO AROUND THE POOL. THE FINAL PRODUCT USES THE SAME METAL SEEN THROUGHOUT THE GALLERY, BUT THE ROPE ADDS A NATURAL ELEMENT TO IT. THE ROPE GOES UP ONE WAY AND DOWN THE OTHER, ADDING VISUAL INTEREST.

THE AMAZON RISING GALLERY AT THE SHEDD AQUARIUM WAS RECENTLY RENOVATED, EXCEPT FOR THE LAST PORTION. FOR THIS PROJECT, I WAS TO PROPOSE A NEW CONCEPT IDEA FOR THIS LAST SPACE. TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE TRADITIONAL AQUARIUM VIEWING MOTIF, I INCORPORATED SOME SMALLER NOCTURNAL ANIMALS INTO THE PROJECT. LOWERING THE CEILING USING A RAIN FOREST CANOPY GIVES THE VIEWER A BETTER SENSE OF WHAT THE RAIN FOREST IS LIKE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. THE SPACE ALSO INCORPORATES A PLATFORM FOR THE SHEDD TO TALK ABOUT ON GOING CONSERVATION RESEARCH, AND AN INSECT VIEWING AREA. THE CURRENT STORE IN THE SPACE WAS REDUCED TO A TRADITIONAL AMAZON MARKET CART.

THIS JEWELRY STUDIO WAS TITLED MODERN LUXE, A MODERN TAKE ON OLD LUXURY. IT USES CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS, BUT WITH A SOFTER, TONED DOWN COLOR PALATE. ARCHITECTURAL MILL WORK IS USED THROUGHOUT THE SPACE TO EMPHASIZE LUXURY, AND ACCESSORIES THE SPACE MUCH LIKE A SETTING ACCENTUATES A STONE. THE OPEN VIEWING WORK STUDIO OFFERS A DIFFERENT JEWELRY SHOPPING EXPERIENCE.
