Top & Design IV Instructor Igor Siddiqui Spring 2014
This project started with a precedent study of up and coming fashion designer Kris Van Assche. With a thorough understanding of Kris’s work, the project aim was to interpret his design decisions as a fashion designer into a space that would both reflect and exhibit his work in a retail setting.
Immediately, I admired the way Kris Addressed the distinction between upper and lower in both a physical and symbolic manner. This distinction became the Premise through which I filtered each of my own design decisions for the duration of the project.
The project progressed from designing a two-dimensional pattern wall to a Three-dimensional pop-up shop and eventually a flagship fashion boutique.

Precedent Research
Understanding the mind-set of Kris Van Assche was an Part of being able to create a space for his brand. The precedent study period was a week and a half and ended with a verbal presentation about the designer. My main goal during this period was to understand how he thinks and views design.

Pattern Wall
After researching Kris Van Assche’s work, the next step of the project was to implore his aesthetic into a repeating wall paper pattern. This would then be plastered onto a building of in the city of Austin to advertise the brand.

Pop Up Shop
Translating these initial graphic observations into a formal expression 3-dimensionally, my PLAN 1/2”=1’ pop-up-shop consisted of an undulating bottom that was folded to Support the top panels from which the shirts hung. I continued with this idea of the upper and lower. From one side of the pop up shop, you can only see the tops, and from the other, you can only see the Bottoms. Each look has its own moment as you experience the whole.

Kris VanAssche Flagship Fashion Boutique The strategy I Implemented consisted of an outer shell for clothing display and storage, and an inner row for the Mannequins to display each look. I intended for the space to display the clothing in a way that was not conflicting.
This desire resulted in a only using three materials. Concrete for the bottom and black stained wood for the top. There is a datum that cuts through the entire project at the waist line that is made of glass, giving a clear visual throughout the entire space. The threshold, shown as orange with dots would be designed for season.
This was to create an Immersive effect and allow the space to be relevant to each season.

This was the first project where I began to use Revit to render. I focused on setting the materials and getting the lighting right.

Man & Design II Spring 2013 Instructor Alan Knox Lady Bird Wild Flower Center
My struggle with this project was disturbing the landscape which housed the largest variety of wild plants in texas. The program for the building was a research center where students could learn about the species of wild flowers growing here. There were also two rest rooms and an event center.
My solution was an L-Shaped plan that optimized the view of the landscape. What made this project unique was the way that the land encompassed the building, Allowing the species of wildflowers to take residence on the building well.

Old & Design III Fall 2014 Instructor Tamie Glass Austin Poetry & Literature Center
The program for this project was to house a collection of poems and temporarily Accommodate the state poet laureate. The approach I took to this project was forward and focused on taking advantage of the technology we have today to create a Paperless library. This idea of old and new came from the hundred year site. I chose to contrast this age with design choices that reflect the present day.
The intent was to free up square footage that would otherwise be used for a vast amount of book storage and instead use it for other programs that allowed users to interact in other ways with poetry. The library housed a performance space for poetry readings. This idea of old and new came from the hundred year site. I chose to contrast this aged site with contemporary design decisions.

Sound & Design I Fall 2012 Instructor Clay Odom Music Venue
The first semester focused on Compositions. More specifically, tectonics and carving space from a volume. The program for out project was a music venue that houses live Performances. My intent for this project was that the exterior would reflect the protrusion of sound out into the city of Austin.

Trash & Construction II Spring 2015 Professor Tamie Glass Innovative Assemblies Project Collaboration with Betsy Quan
My construction II class emphasized the impact designers can have on the environment. The prompt for this project was to re purpose a material that would otherwise go into a land fill. Our design used rubber base board and old shutter doors from our local habitat restore. We then used plastic bottles for planters and placed them in the pockets we formed by weaving the rubber base board through the shutter doors. The result was a modular, stackable vertical garden we called Renewall.
