Students of Rhode Island School of Design work under high-stress conditions caused by their assignments, expectations from others and themselves, and the environment surrounding them. Studios and work areas become spaces associated with stress and negative atmosphere. The materials, ceiling, floor and even the breathing air hint at this gray emotion. If a space where art students spend the majority of their time is associated with negative thoughts, how can this atmosphere be transformed and generate a sense of peace? Restrooms often become unexpected rooms of mental and physical rest for students. A restroom is a space without judgment, scattered conveniently throughout every campus. Moreover, they allow students to escape their stressed environment wherever and whenever they need. The proposal for this project is to create a series of spaces which function as a form of acupuncher throughout campus, poking strategically to provide relief and heal the RISD community. From being in the studio to entering these resting rooms, this special process is expressed with the fully consideration of materiality, lighting, and the postures people use to occupy these spaces to create the experience for students to transit from the feeling of pressure to the feeling of rest.

Overlaying the analysis diagrams into one
To decide the best locations for resting rooms, a series investigation of RISD campus has been drawn into multiple diagrams. This researches include commuting path, distance between health services and buildings, parking and unused area, and color of building and surrounding. By overlaying these diagrams into one, specific RISD buildings are selected based on the approachability for all the RISD students, also the influence of surrounding environment to the resting areas.

The studio environment provides constant spatial stimulations, the furniture layout, the brightness of the space, the smell of this environment, the texture of students’ seats and even the people in the space. These elements define the atmosphere of a studio, and create a rigid image of this space. Students become too familiar with these elements and this space, so they end up ignore these spatial stimulations. The only remained picture of their studio is the stressful emotion they generate while they are in the space. I start to notice restroom is a space students use to escapes from their stress. This enclosed room with four sides walls is a place students don’t need an appropriated excuse to stay. When people enter this space, the sensation of time is eliminated, and no one will care about what other people does inside. This space generates an unexpected image for people to rest. A space blocks RISD out, but people staying in is still in RISD.

To break through the ignorance of spatial stimulation, I divide the process of entering and resting in the area into three steps. Hint of the room, path of accessing this space and the resting rooms. This analysis is goal to inform people they are transiting from RISD into another space, and to raise people’s spatial awareness.

To create a space which physically and mentally influence RISD students, I look for the sites have existing buffer zones. These areas are originally built with transitional zones and have potential to become the starting point of resting rooms.

Analysis of Alzheimer Clients
Live with Choice is an advanced studio project instructed by Justin Cook in RISD. The studio aims to develop an architectural solution to serve people suffered from different illnesses. The target clients of this project are Alzheimer patients. Alzheimer is a progressive disease. While the disease is progressive, the clients will gradually lose their function and daily activities. The design question is how to provide a space to accommodate clients in different functional stages but also addresses their own dignity and needs. The project is started with client research. To analyze Alzheimer’s patient’s daily needs (ADL) and advanced needs (IADL) while patients undergo the divergent performance stages, and how the clients change their behaviors within their illness stages. Moreover, the role of caregivers during this progressive change is also a crucial part of the design decision.

When Alzheimer progressively becomes severe, the clients will need more assistance both from the caregivers and the surrounding environment. While they are losing their basic living abilities, the authority of client’s life is transferring to the crucial others and the context. The programs in the village are categorized based on disease stages which included Sensory & Social Areas, Education Center, Medical Center, IADL, ADL and Others. The design proposal is to create a giant healthcare village where clients can live in a mobile box system. The box can be moved close to the programs based on their own living demands.

Path of Moving Box
Diagram of “Path of Moving Box” shows the prediction about how a client moves his/her box in the healthcare village, and the blue area are indicated the area to place the boxes. In the early stage, Alzheimer clients may still expect to gain and learn some skills. They can still function well to have a normal life, so the Sensory & Social Area and the Educational Centre will be their preferences. However, for the final-stage clients, they already lose their daily ability, so the urgency demands might be contained in Medical Center or the Sensory & Social Area.

The proposal is to add both a giant main stage in the basement and a solo stage on the second floor. Moreover, the studying area is located on the second floor. The main hall is a space opened completely from basement to the second floor and the stage is placed on the basement. A wedged sitting area is surrounded the opening from basement to first floor to create a magnificent view toward the stage. A glass boundary is created on the second floor to enclose the reverberation created from the main stage. One the second floor, the solo stage is placed next to the studying area. The relationships between each space, the grand performance hall, solo stage, mechanical room and study area, are studied fully to meet the reverberation time 1.3 for concert hall. Also, the relative interior materials and wall decorations are put into consideration as well.

眷村(juan-cun), a traditional Taiwanese village building, represents as one of the core roles of Taiwanese memory, but it is currently fading because of the modern architecture improvement. The goal of the project is to create a space which can both remind people the importance of our traditional memory, also memorialize the history. The characteristics of the building are used both in the interior and exterior decoration.

Furniture Unveiling was a continuous project from the annual Charette held by Interior Architecture department of RISD in 2015. This project was the redesign of a self-contained dedicated Autism classroom serving 2nd and 3rd grade students at Anthony Carnevale Elementary School in Providence, RI. The design proposal was to adapt the existing furniture to create a unique and flexible classroom for the autistic students. By providing the opportunity to change and manipulate furniture, teachers can achieve a variety of learning environments that satisfy different needs. We work closely with the classroom teacher and the autism team to build prototypes. Given strict budget and time constraints, the project was finished in 2016 with nine pieces of furniture with four different types.

To assist teachers to control the order of classroom, our team created the “Ball Cove.” The two Ball Coves were designed around 20 inch yoga balls and work to increase autistic students focus and release pent-up energy through the therapeutic bouncing experience. While bouncing on their seat, the furniture provides both vestibular and proprioception stimulation to the children, drastically promoting their attention span. The Ball Coves are made with 3/4” plywood and have a tunnel shaped interior. A hand upholstered cushion is designed around the tunnel to create a safe and comfortable place for play. There are many ways to utilize the Coves besides its primary function as a desk. Teachers can also flip it and use it as an armchair for story time. The two Coves can connect together in a tunnel shape, becoming a wonderful piece for students to interact with and explore. The Ball Coves have the same height as the tables in the classroom, so they can be bonded with the tables during group activity. All the prototypes are expected to be long lasting and modifiable. Hence the upholstered cushion can easily be detached and replaced if damaged.

The whiteboard cabinet is a piece of sliding furniture which can be moved around the classroom as a visual aid to the children’s education. As a cabinet the piece has an interior storage area and two upper levels. The upper level is specially designed for fitting existing teaching bins in the classroom, and the lower for whiteboard materials. Furthermore, the cabinet can be transformed into an instruction whiteboard by simply sliding up the storage cover. On the backside of the cabinet, the wall is outfitted with interchangeable felt which is also used as a storytelling surface to stick characters and words to during lessons. The felt side of the whiteboard cabinet has a detachable frame, so the teacher can change any materials she needs in the future.

The shelving additions greatly increase storage space in the class room and keep unnecessary clutter out of sight and out of mind. This creates a much less distracting environment to work in. The lower shelves are for student use and the upper ones are for teacher storage. Hence the bottom has Velcro for fine motor development while the top has magnets for easy safe loading of more restricted items. The precision laser cut fabric allows students to access the materials with little to no barrier while simultaneously keeping used materials out of view. With the time budget constraints facing the designers, it was crucial that all the design ideas be additions or adaptation modes to the classroom-- avoiding demolition and on-site construction at all costs. As such the wall pieces are hung off of a simple system of cleats, that allow for easy deinstallation, modification, replacements and above all, non-disruptive design intervention. All the furniture is precision laser cut and assembled with finger joinery. This makes it incredibly resilient and durable.

Sunbrella Fabric
The Table Cabinets are two pieces of adaptively-reused furniture made from existing pieces in the classroom. They are made with two different sizes of table cabinets. One is 8.5 inches wide and the other is roughly 17 inches wide. The size of two pieces of furniture are designed to fit different educational materials in the classroom. The table legs were taken off from the tables and cabinets were added underneath the tables for more efficient use of space. This idea not only increases the storage volume of the classroom but also allows teachers to reposition the tables instantly by way of the new wheeling system. The sliding doors of the cabinets are attached with perforated “sunbrella” fabric; an easy to clean, tear resistant synthetic fabric. The simple laser cut pattern gives translucency and lightness, while allowing the user a level of expediency when looking for specific materials inside the numerous cabinets.

Armor Hood is a group project finished on Fall, 2016. The design question of to re-imagine the human body. What would our body be like if we can extend our arm two feet more? What would our body be like if we can have scales on our back? How would people adapt to these transformations? What are the new functions accompanying with these changes? The project started with understanding the relationship between each human part, including nose, eyes, forehead, etc. How would one change affect human perception about their body? The final proposal we proposed is to create an extension around the neck, starting from the top of the chest and going around the neck ending at a high point at the base of the head. The first goal for the design is to achieve a level of privacy. By surrounding the area where the body’s main sensory receptors are, we are creating a buffer thus allowing for more privacy. To further this objective the piece fans out around the head, offsetting and delineating a new perimeter around the body. Because of this buffer piece any intentional approach from an external body would require a more acute and direct angle of approach. The front of the piece covers the top part of the chest which houses the heart and lungs. The spinal cord directs our z axis, which leads to our skull and brain. This may be the most precious connection that the body has, as the nervous system controls everything else. Therefore, to increase the protection of this connection is our second goal. The structure is composed of a screen around the head, through which one can build up an extended boundary and enhanced privacy to the outside world.
