For the sophomore studio, we were asked to design a literary center on the corner of Clifton and Ludlow that would house a work space for a guest writer for about 6 months. The writer would give lectures to the community, be able to research for their new books, and be immersed into the community. I wanted to create a center that had a rotating axis throughout the building and build on the sense of community by having a continuously changing art gallery for local artists, creating a connection between the writer and their audience, and have outdoor gathering spaces on both the north and south sides of the building.

I created this CD garment using only 100 CDs and fishing line. Looking at body movement and how people move subconsciously, I designed this to magnify tiny movements that go unnoticed every day. It also magnifies the body in a space and how people respond to different types of spaces.
Simplification of Paper Clips One of the projects that I worked on was a simplification of a household object. The main purpose of a paper clip is to connect and hold items together. So focusing on the connection aspect of the paper clips, I created 3 dimensional simplified paper clips that could connect in not only one direction but in multiple ways creating complex 3 dimensional designs that goes against the basic nature of the paper clips.

These cubes explore the idea movement creating physical spaces and implied spaces. With the wireframe cube the movement is structured, emphasizing on the physical spaces created by the enclosed areas. The solid cube plays with flowing movement versus static movement and how that creates both physical spaces and implied spaces.

For the final project of freshman year, a studio had to create interlocking units to create space. The group I was a part of wanted to explore multiple ways to connect which blends the units into one. I volunteered as a final space designer to create interesting spaces that exemplifies the blending of connection.
