01 | INTRODUCTION

Design Philosophy As a designer, I want to design spaces that have a positive impact in ways that make clients successful, that support strong communities, and respect the environment. Having this mindset is an understanding that buildings can be healthy, highperforming green buildings and sustainable design is the outcome of good decisions and attentive design. To achieve this, it requires believing sustainable design is the right and necessary thing to do and to hold it at the very core of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own philosophy and values system. Viewed holistically, the spaces designed with this in mind create a more sustainable community, and structures that mesh with our environÂŹment and its occupants in the least intrusive and most comfortable manner. Allowing are impact on our planets recourses to be reduced while creating flexibility to adapt to the design problems of the future in a world full of finite resources and a growing population.

PURPOSE + GOALS

The undergraduate senior Thesis is a self-directed yearlong investigation. It begins with identifying a problem and proposed solution in the Fall semester, and concludes with testing the solution through a design project in the Spring (Robinson and Parman 2010). The Thesis combines skills from the classroom and studio, acquired over the past four years and is structured to encourage critical thinking, develop deeper knowledge, solve challenging problems, and advance my design skills. My goals for this thesis proposal are to: Resolve a design problem that has a base in an area of personal interest. Apply the skillset and knowledge I have acquired to a major project. Develop my knowledge of my area of interest through research based design. Improve my overall skills as a designer. Integrate my love for sustainability and technology in a single project. To look back and have a sense of pride for this thesis project. Graduate knowing, I gave 110%.

THESIS

Research Question How can integrating technology early on in the design process improve the overall user experience?

Thesis Statement Technology has fundamentally changed the way we work and live. Integrating technology in design is often an afterthought creating cumbersome user experiences and little room for future proofing the interior environment. Changing the way designers introduce technology as an integral component of programming and design begins to address this problem. Integrating technology during the early stages of the design process results in a seamless user experience and creates opportunities to accommodate rapidly changing technology. Doing so encourages the designer to address the critical issues of human well-being, quality of life, and environmental stewardship.

CONTEXT

PROBLEM Despite growing numbers of connected devices, projections for market growth, smart home technology has not yet gained much traction in home adoption rates. There is a current onslaught of devices that promise to better an occupant’s life, yet with every new device, there is a new remote that might connect with another app you have to download on a smart phone or tablet. However helpful these devices, switches, sensors etc. might be they end up usually being novel and excessive bringing no greater purpose in the home and failing at what they are designed to-do and that’s to improve your quality of life. (Mundle, 2016) Now days’ technology used in making a home smart is usually an afterthought added by the occupant. While not terrible, this can lead to a cumbersome approach that requires many different methods of interaction going against the idea of improving the occupant’s life by automating simple tasks around the home. (Holen, 2014) For example, one would need an app on a smart phone to lock a door then another to turn off the lights. Designed properly the smart home should understand that the user is leaving when locking the door and moving away from the home and react in such a way that it automatically turns of the lights, locks the doors, sets the thermostat accordingly, and arms the alarm. Elegant and unobtrusive—sometimes even invisible.

LOCATION Located in the Warehouse District of downtown New Orleans the site for this project is surrounded by art, design, entertainment, and restaurants. This area once consisting of packing, shipping, and storage warehouses is now seeing itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buildings be repurposed and brought back to life. Among the museums, attractions, and life that is being pumped back into the area a need for housing is also increasing and in high demand. Thus, deeming a multifunction building that offers housing as well as other services for the area is an obvious choice for the time and recourses necessary to do it right.

ABBREVIATED LITERATURE REVIEW

PURPOSE The purpose of an abbreviated literature review is to become aware of the existing literature on a topic, and select a minimum of three sources to read, summarize and identify significant contributions to the topic in question. .

LITERATURE REVIEWS

Zhang, Ping. 2003. “Home Automation and Housing for the Future.” DISS. Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Architecture School of Architecture, Carleton University Ottawa. Over 30 years ago a gentlemen named Nicholas Johnson argued that: “ ... a home communication center where a person works, learns, and is entertained, and contributes to society by way of communications techniques we have not yet imagined incidentally solving commuter traffic jams and much of their air pollution problems in the process.” (Zhang 2003) Since then much progress has been made but there is still a long way to go despite the crazy sci-fi scenario dreamers, authors, and movie producers like to dream up. Going forward what needs to be considered that was not considered in the past are some of the main concerns for life at home. Areas such as an ageing population, changes in work life habits, as well as the idea of a healthy home. These are all areas that need to be considered when designing the “smart” homes of the future. For this to happen a home has to reflect the end users demands as well as changing needs. These could range from a healthy environment, heating and cooling needs, advanced lighting controls, or enhanced security. The home that works seamlessly with all the systems and subsystems enhancing each other’s capabilities is critical for today’s modern lifestyles. Using a holistic approach, a smart home can be broken down to a few key areas such as home health, security, convenience, economy, time and effort savings, comfort, and accessibility. A home that embraces technology improves the quality of life in all of these areas. However, this is challenging because to function properly and in a non-intrusive manor all of the systems must work together. For this reason alone, technology should be present but not seen.

Risteska Stojkoska, Biljana L, and Kire V Trivodaliev. n.d. “A Review of

Internet of Things for Smart Home: Challenges and Solutions.” JOUR. Journal of Cleaner Production. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2016.10.006. The smart home is not what it used to be. The appliances of yesteryear have since been deemed obsolete. New breakthroughs in the way we communicate as well as the devices we use have created so many unique opportunities that allow design to take new approaches and integrate technology in a wild new way. Most of these advances being in the form of wireless communication. AM & FM transmissions have since been replaced with WI-FI, Bluetooth, LTE, and NFC to name a few. Thus a new era is born based on the internet and the devices that connect to it. These devices as a whole are commonly referred to as The Internet of Things or “IoT” for short. What these newer commutations technologies allow us to-do today would have not been possible before. Devices, sensors, appliances, advanced lighting, heating and cooling, security systems, and home entertainment systems now have the ability to not only talk to one another but be able to act base on the actions of the other. This is commonly referred to as If This Then That or IFTT for short. Homes and the design process in creating them have never had so much potential to tackle so many relevant issues of today. Technology allows us to-do just that. A homes technology doesn’t just have to be about convenience anymore. The goal would be to use these breakthroughs to create a space that overall enhance human life, our planet and what better way than to start in space that we spend most of our time. This does not come with challenges, the more prominent ones being true seamless integration, cost, and the implementation of working together so as that the user regardless of age, disability, or background can successfully inhabit the space without special training or knowledge of the underling advanced technology that is present.

Dewsbury, Guy, Bruce Taylor, and Martin Edge. 2001. “The Process of

Designing Appropriate Smart Homes: Including the User in the Design.” CONF. In 1st Equator IRC Workshop on Ubiquitous Computing in Domestic Environments, University of Nottingham. The following quotes cited by the author suggest that systems that are designed to improve our quality of life are on the rise. “The reality is that the home, even without intelligence is not so much bricks and mortar, but increasingly a series of personal care services. With the advent of the smart home the range of services that the home provides may be about to undergo a radical change.” (Edge et al. 2000) “The investment in field bus systems is coming from the world’s major electrical companies. If they are successful and succeed in penetrating the market, the result will have a direct positive effect on the lives of people who have disabilities. Rehabilitation companies will exploit the emerging technology and make available low cost environmental control systems. These systems will be truly integrated with a buildings electrical system and will provide much greater functionality than the “add-on” systems which are currently available.” (Allen and Dillon 1997) Technology is not the end all solution to the worlds design problems and as designers we can use these systems to further improve our execution of design as well as extend the life of it. Assessments and judgments when designing should consider how a person might interact with the technology from a psychologic, emotional, physical, and social perspective and allows us to apply Universal Design principals that allows us to design for everyone such as the needs of the elderly, or someone who suffers from disability’s that may be physical or physiological in nature. By combining tech and Universal Design we allow ourselves to design around the needs, comfort, and safety of all stakeholders.

These stakeholders being not only the end user, but are planet and even future users as well. Thus, when designing with technology the stakeholders cannot and should not be overlooked. They should be considered the center of the design and function around them. “Everything has become an operation; everything must have a function and a use.” (Fromm 1995)

SUMMARY This research supports the importance and the growing need for a design approach that includes technology. Technology can enhance a multitude of areas of design including sustainability, user comfort, convenience and safety, to principals of Universal Design. In regards to sustainable design, there are systems available today that can monitor, control, and even create environments that adapt and change. Energy management is a big part of this in our goal for a more sustainable future. Indoor air quality, as well as lighting all can fall under this umbrella of thinking. Homes no longer should be just Net-Zero but can become Net-Positive. Comfort, convince and safety have always been identified when thinking about smart homes and technology. From telephones and dishwashers to microwaves and televisions it has come a long way and the list only continues to grow. Technology has also helped to improve people with physical and mental disabilities quality of life as well as the elderly and patient care. Though technology has many advantages it is not without its hurdles and problems. Some of those being integration, ease-of-use, and cost. As the smart home industry has taken a boom with the introduction of the smart phone, it’s integration as often times been an afterthought added by the end-user. Thus, creating a system that not only doesn’t work together with other components, but becoming counterintuitive and invasive which is the opposite of what it was designed to do.

PRECEDENT STUDIES

PURPOSE

The purpose of conducting a precedent study in interior design is to examine and analyze the attributes of an

existing project that serves as an example for the concept, programming, and/or design of a proposed design project.

The designers at LAAB tackled such a challenge with thoughtful design and integrating technology throughout the design process to get the most out of such a tiny space. Color and temperature changing light bulbs slow¬¬¬ly lighten the space in the morning and provide ambience at night. Connected locks provide a way for the couple to see who’s at the door or hand out digital keys to repairmen or pet sitters. By doing more with less thanks to the aid of technology this design completely redefines the potential for city living in a time where space is in demand within dense city environments.

QUALITATIVE ANALYSUS Having to think beyond static spaces due to the fact the team only had 309 square feet to work with, time started to be considered as a factor on how to organize space. The idea centered around â&#x20AC;&#x153;Form Follows Timeâ&#x20AC;? philosophy, which allows the one space to be different spaces and different intervals of time. The forms created where also designed to bleed together so say for instance you could enjoy a movie while in the tub, or a guest could shower while the home owner is brushing his or her teeth. All elements within are designed to hide to keep the space looking clean and open.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS This space takes advantage of well thought out design with technology to create multiple spaces within the confines of one space that is extremely small. Merging technology and space planning every nook and cranny is used to further optimize the layout and enhance the timed activity that may be happening from entertaining guests to a soak in the time while watching a movie. This is all done seamlessly while keeping the occupants needs and comfort in mind.

QUALITATIVE ANALYSUS Onion Flats created a fusion of sustainable design ideas within the project boundaries of the Thin Flats. From low to no VOC (volatile organic compounds) emitting paints, adhesives, and sealants to Hydronic radiant in-flor heating systems each home earns the LEED Platinum rating that was attached to this project. Light also plays a vital role throughout each unit as it can travel through the space thanks in part to strategically positioned skylights, windows, and frosted glass. This approach does not reduce privacy put increases light penetration.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Sustainable design practices increase overall user health and generally are achieved though the use of new technologies to help control the thermal envelope of the building as well as regulating user comfort. This opens the possibility up of the building becoming net zero or net positive which means the building would produce the same or more energy than it uses. In a time where recourses are being over used this use of time and recourses should be considered for all project design.

03 | FOCUS AREA

INTRODUCTION Universal Design is something that deserves consideration because it allows a space to be available to everyone regardless of disability, age, height, or needs. The focus of Universal Design is designing a space that considers all users within every stage of design. For instance, the main entry of a library should allow entry to all users and those that might need a ramp donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to accesses through a separate side entry. Everyone should feel included in a well-designed space not excluded.

(North Carolina State University, 1997)

By applying Universal Design to this project, it will allow all users to use the space equally by design. Going one step further though environmental impacts should also be considered. For this reason, sustainable principles will also be considered and applied in unison with the principals of Universal Design.

RESEARCH

Universal design is a collection of eight goals that define how a space should be designed to accommodate everyone: (Ed Steinfeld, 2012)

/BODY FIT e.g. Accommodating for a wide range of body types. /COMFORT e.g. Keeping demands within desirable limits of the body. /AWARENESS e.g. Ensuring that critical information for use is easily perceived. /UNDERSTANDING e.g. Operation and use should be institutive, clear and unambiguous. /WELLNESS e.g. Promotion of health, while avoiding disease and hazards. /SOCIAL INTEGRATION e.g. Treating all groups with dignity and respect. /PERSONALIZATION e.g. Incorporating choice and expression of Individual preferences. /CULTURAL APPROPRIATENESS e.g. Respecting and reinforcing cultural values, as well as the social and environmental contexts of a project.

/UNIVERSAL DESIGN GROUPS /SOURCE: Jessie Hausler 2015

Following these ingredients for a successful space that is useable by all and not just a sub-group of users allows for each user’s overall quality of life to be enhanced. Adding an emphasis on sustainable design as well only strengthens this connection to a more enriched quality of life, not only for the users of the space but the community in which the project is a part of.

FOCUS AREA OF EMPHASIS 1

Future Planning

FOCUS AREA EMPHASIS CRITERIA Design spaces to allow adaption for future use and needs.

Simple and Intuitive Use

Create spaces that are easy to use regardless of user disability, age, etc.

Low Physical Effort

Provide ways to interact with the environment that is not stressful or requires much physical effort.

Size and Space for Approach and Use

Provide open enough walkways to support all body types and sizes as well as transportation of times such as furniture, appliances, and equipment.

Equitable Use

Incorporate easy to unde¬¬¬rstand signage to improve the ease of navigation through the space.

Flexibility in Use

Environmental Issues

Design spaces that adapt to the needs of the user.

Consider the impacts of the space on the environment at a local as well as global scale.

Application Potential Based on the above research one can conclude that the potential for Universal Design in integrating technology is tremendous. The sole point of technology is to make life easier and more accessible for everyone. Thus, one cannot successfully integrate it without thinking about Universal Design in the process. Furthering this with an emphasis on Sustainable Design principals as well will create a harmony between the site, users, and the environment that will enrich these elements and can adapt to the future with a minimal if no impact on the environment.

04 | SITE + BUILDING

SITE + BUILDING Built in 1905 for Katz and Besthoff, Ltd. (K&B) in Warehouse District of New Orleans, Louisiana, the building originally served as a new four floor facility for the growing business. It allowed K&B to move its executive offices from a building on Canal St, and made room for a store complete with a soda fountain machine, cafeteria, and ice cream plant, kitchen commissary, printing, prescription, tobacco, and general merchandise departments. In 1975 K&B moved out the building and agreed to allow the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) to locate to their old address. (companyhistories.com, 2011) It would not be renovated until 1990 and then officially donated to the CAC until 1999. The building mixes timeless New Orleansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; historic architecture with contemporary materials and creates large open spaces that are used for everything from art display, theater, to a rentable venue for miscellaneous events. (Contemporary Arts Center) Due to its proximity to local art museums, restaurants, shops, and public transpiration and the local commercial and residential boom in the area, this would be an ideal location for a mix-use building that offered residencies as well as other services to complement the ones already in the area. Local businesses located nearby would benefit from increased traffic as well as the residents in the vicinity would benefit from having more shops and attractions nearby to patron.

OPPORTUNITES + CONSTRAINTS

This building has opportunity to create a home for new residents to the Art District of New Orleans as well as add to the growing list of services offered in the area. It also can serve as a blueprint for further conversation on technology integration for future designers. Some of the constraints of the building is the lake of a central channel for daylight. This will be difficult to navigate when turning the space into residential units while meeting code requirements for life safety. Another issue is the building does sit in a historical area that has its own set of codes and regulations the must be followed.

/VERSION ONE

/ART + HISTORY Maximizing the potential for a 21st-century mix-use building by creating an architecture that energizes the daily life of its community and residents. Becoming an exciting, region-wide cultural film and performance destination. Organized with clusters of distinct volumes that surround a central hub, the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s form resonates with the character of the arts district of New Orleans with its warehouse charm. The building employs innovative technology and layout configurations to maximize the comfort, and well-being of its occupants while achieving a design that is both sustainable and universally accessible.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN

Schematic Design phase further develops the blocking and bubble diagrams into one final scheme in which the final design emerges roots and continues to develop.

/VERSION FOUR

/SMART TREE The concept of this design is based on the idea of a tree. Similar to how the rings in a trunk tell the story of a tree, the history of the building is incorporated into the design. The integration of technology is comparable to the complexities interwoven into the structure of the tree. Both of these elements respectively give life to their hosts. The natural elements of the tree are incorporated through sustainable features such as a green roof. Finally, the beauty of the tree is symbolized by the surrounding arts district of New Orleans. Combined, these elements will help the inhabitants feel connected to both the building and their surroundings; rooting them in a building that is universal in itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach, sustainable by nature, and smart by design.

/UNIVERSAL DESIGN Universal Design is something that deserves consideration because it allows a space to be available to everyone regardless of disability, age, height, or needs. The focus of Universal Design is designing a space that considers all users within every stage of design. For instance, the main entry of a library should allow entry to all types of users including those who need to use a ramp. Everyone should feel included in a well-designed space, not excluded. With this in mind technology has been used to encourage a universally designed space overall.

105

/USER ONE

Colette Delacour is a 33-year-old French-Canadian Professor at Tulane who teaches Anthropology with a specific interest in how spaces affect human behavior. She enjoys traveling and hiking with her dog. She is very tech-savvy and stays up to date with all the tech blogs. Unfortunately, she was recently in a car accident and is temporarily bound to a wheelchair with a broken leg. She also suffers from depression and feels more comfortable to have natural light where she lives and works.

/USER TWO

Christy Harleaux is a recent graduate of Louisiana State University. She has passion for Interior Design and loves her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Sadie, who also happens to be her Emotional Support Dog. Christy has a hearing disability but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop her. She is fluent in American Sign Language and knows how to rock an outfit. She ideally would need space that can adapt to her unique needs as well as her companion and best friend Sadie.

/USER THREE

Tevin Thomas was recently honorably discharged from the United Stated Air force. He enjoys drawing and singing. He unfortunately suffers from PTSD and extreme paranoia. He would ideally like a space where he feels safe and secure, as well as a space to enjoy music without disturbing others.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, technology is not going away, if anything it is a continuously changing and growing segment of the design field. It allows us to not only increase the comfort of users of our design but also can super charge sustainable and universal design efforts. With this body of knowledge collected I can firmly say that I believe designers should embrace technology early on in the design process as it gives a overall better finished design and user experience and future proofs it for years to come.. .

Archdaily presents information on Andrews Glen from SMR Architects. The article reviews the clients vision and

the team who collaborated for over two years to make it happen. The site design as well as the Universal Design aspects that factored into the design design is heavily mentioned throughout the article. Images of plans, architectural drawings, sections, unit typicals, and photos can be found in this article as well. Adding to help the reader visual the space in question.

This whitepaper gives a brief history of the smart home then goes into detail of the benefits and constraints of

smart homes as leads into the role they play in occupants lives today. It also explores the difficulties and challenges smart homes face on a day to day bases but continues with what the future may bring for this immerging sector within the design community.

LAAB architecture brings to life the project they completed in the central Hong King district in Hong Kong. They

explore the constraints they were met with by only having 309 square feet to work with. They explain that technology and smart design planning was used to overcome such a small space and to eventually turn one space into many spaces with the ability to change based on user activity. The article concludes with the notion that none of this would have been possible without the use of smart devices and technology thoughtfully planned. North Carolina State University. “Principles of Universal Design.” The RL Mace Universal Design Institute. 1997. Accessed November 11, 2016. http://www.udinstitute.org/principles.php. This article discusses the fundamental elements of Universal Design and the guiding principles that it is made up of. Mace goes into detail giving examples of each principal and why they are important. As well has explaining that these principals only address universally usable design, and the practice of design incorporates aspects of economic, engineering, cultural, gender, and environmental concerns.

This write up covers the challenges when designing a smart home. It explores the idea that the users are not

the center of the design and the technology industries must reevaluate their approach for these gadgets and novel ideas to gain main stream adoption rates. It also covers the fact that current methods of interacting with a space should me improved not replaced. Thin Flats / Onion Flats.” ArchDaily. 2011. Accessed September 30, 2016. http://www.archdaily.com/123731/thin-flatsonion-flats.

Archdaily breaks down what the team over at Onion Flats accomplished with the Thin Flats project. The proj-

ect centered around obtaining the LEED Platinum standard and the teem spared no expense with trying to get every credit possible to reach their goal. What they ended up creating was a modern take on the traditional row home. The spaces are filled with light thanks to a clever way of feeding light into the space. This information is followed with Images of plans, architectural drawings, sections, unit typicals, and photos adding to help the reader visually explore the space.
