DESIGN IV PORTFOLIO SYDNEY PATRICK 05.07.2015

Studio Year 1 Part 1: Standing Lamp Shades Part 2: Hanging The intent of the project was to focus on materials and light. The designer had to think about how to let the perfect amount of light shine through the shade for the space of its’ intended use, all while considering the material at hand, corrugated cardboard. It was very important to concentrate on the material and it’s location because of the heat the lamp emits.

There were two projects within the lamp series. The first was the standing lamp which focused on emitting light up and out, having to remember the light itself would be slightly below eyelevel. The intention of the second lamp, the hanging lamp was to push light down and out, keeping in mind that the light would be coming from overhead. Through the design process of each, one was able to place more emphasis on different pieces of the two shades based on what would be seen.

Completing two shades also allowed for further exploration of design techniques and iteration ideas.

The compilation of the three different projects was a semester long process intended to teach the computer program, Rhino, and further push the understanding of space.

Not only was it a requirement to create a model digitally, but physically as wellmaking use of the laser cutting machine. The goal of the assignment was to take into consideration what it would be like to walk through the tunnel and how one could interact in the space. For example, the ledges in the final design are an extrusion that children might want to climb on, so that was something to keep in mind when determining height and space.

Another example is how much light one would want to allow in the space, therefore affecting the thickness of the walls of the tunnel.

This was the first project that was assigned to allow for one’s own design based on the need of a “client”. The client was an individual that required an atmosphere that would cater to the style of their photography. In this case, the clients’ style was the combination of photographs I took that were compiled and based on the photography of three real photographers. The design requirements had to include a studio, additional storage, a kitchen, a bedroom/bathroom combination, and an outdoor area for the artist to work.

Iteration 1

Wheeler Park is located in Oklahoma City, surrounded by single and multi-family homes.

If you have visited the area and park recently, you know it is in need of a face lift in order to draw in the community. The Wheeler Park Nature Center is the perfect solution to insinuate communal activity. As you approach The Center, you can enter via the roof top deck at ground level or through the front door. The door will take you straight to the reception desk and the start of the exhibition center. You can also get to the yoga area from here, which is secluded and overlooks the water and includes an outdoor deck to provide peace and relaxation. As you move through the exhibition area you will find your way to the on-site restaurant, as well as the fishing store and rental activity area. When you are finished down stairs, you can make your way up to the upper exhibition area which includes the evolution of the city as it relates to the crazy Oklahoma weather. In addition to the exhibition area there is also a plethora of open rooftop decking, which was designed for bird watching, baseball watching, as well as a place to project movies during summer nights. The Wheeler Park Nature Center is intended to provide entertainment for any type of person and bring in families who both planned on coming to the center or just happened to pass by and found it to be inviting.
