...forward One of the primary goals of SCAD is to promote the professional development of its students, consequently, we are so happy when students have the opportunity to be “hands on” and fully immersed in their craft. Watching the installation grow, we have witnessed the students learn by doing, turning problems into solutions and overcoming unexpected obstacles and turning an idea into an object of beauty. This is SCAD Hong Kong’s first full-scale, hand-built Interior Design installation. We applaud the student’s initiative and their willingness to work hard, and work together, on their creative vision. Congratulations to the class of INDS 350 and all those who helped along the way.
-Bob Dickensheets, Vice President, SCAD Hong Kong

...preface “Re-framed” is bigger than its 42sqm footprint. It is an accumulation of the studio’s hard work, passion and dedication throughout the semester. As a collaborative studio, Spring ‘14 has been a journey from the Individual to the Collective. The students learnt quickly about the power of synergy and the strength of creative diversity. We funneled down from the concept work of Individual Designers, to Design Partners that submitted polished and professional ArchTriumph Sky Pavilion competition entries, to the final installation piece by the Studio Team. At every stage, as in profession practice, we recognised the most successful and most relevant design ideas, and took them forward – to a successful conclusion that none of us predicted. This book documents the progress of the semester, and hopefully connects the dots of how we moved from Dandelions and Re-Orientations to an immersive bamboo acrylic constellation wonderland. The Studio Team has worked hard, and happily together. I am so impressed not only what they have achieved but of how they got there. The final project, the Re-Framed Installation, is only temporary; but it will live on in this collection of work you are now reading. Thank you to everyone for their help and support, I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. -Frances G.Gain, Professor of Interior Design, SCAD Hong Kong 9
...thanks For a small class (4 students) we certainly have some big ideas - both conceptually and physically. This installation would not have been possible without the help of some very important players: SCAD HK, vice president, Robert Dickensheet has been available to us, endorsing and providing all the support needed SCAD HK, physical resources director, Stephen Tanneberg, was extremely generous with his time and equipment, offering safety and construction advice, as well as securing the larger materials Professor Frances Gain, for her continuous confidence, supervision and enthusiasm for all our endeavors, as well as for the countless hours spent on construction. We are grateful to have you as a mentor and teammate! Professor Cotter Christian for lending INDS 101 Justin Chan, for our portraits And finally for all volunteers and friends who have encouraged us and lent their time and resources to push this project to completion.
Thank you 11

Lauren Allhusen After obtaining a B.A. in East Asian Studies and Art History from Middlebury College, Lauren spent four years working as a project manager in the arts in Beijing. Both the curator (Karen Smith) and artist (Liu Wei) she worked under had an enormous impact on her understanding of spacial composition and collaboration, ultimately inspiring her to return to school for technical design training. She is passionate about creating spaces that transport the user and environments that embody the same suspension of disbelief found in art, fiction, music, film and animation. She believes materials, light, sound, technology, and nature can be combined and manipulated to engage the vast spectrum of human imagination. Lauren is always using a lens to document her contrasting worlds, and often finds herself rescuing abondoned objects. Contact: lauren.allhusen@gmail.com Website: http://loonynoodlebowl.tumblr.com/ 16

...partners in design Work together as equal partners to develop the selected concept design through to a final schematic design. Take calculated risk in design conceptualization, development and execution. Refine the concept further and create subsequent diagrams and images. The form and materials need to be fully developed. Safety and usability needs to be addressed. The final design must work as a freestanding, transportable, contemporary Pavilion. The Sky Pavilion should be inclusive, encourage and highlight the need for ecological and sustainable design principles where possible. Guidelines and restrictions from the official competition brief should be respected and acknowledged with in the design. A final design will be presented to a professional panel of Interior Designers. The most successful and relevant design will be used a catalyst and/or inspiration for Part II, the immersive Installation.

The sky is constantly changing affecting our everyday life. The pavilion is meant to be created by the community for community. The idea of having a structure built from the surrounding educational facilities is to reinforce citizenship. Just as the sky, the pavilion should be something in constant change that invites all to experience. Being London a diverse city, we wanted the pavilion to be made of a common material, which is, common in all the cultures in the city: recycled cans. Can we create something beautiful out of trash? We want the pavilion to serve as an educational asset for the community. Collaboration and sustainability is something that has to be kept in mind in society today and should be educated in all levels. Cans will be collected through a can drive done by all the neighboring educational facilities in order to create a sense of ownership to the structure. Through this connection there will be an automatic recognition of the transformation of trash into an aesthetically pleasant building material. This connection should not be straightforward therefor the inside of the can is exposed to the exterior creating reflections from the sky therefore it is only when you experience the interior passage you make the clear connection to the can you recycled some time ago creating as a consequence ecological consciousness.

3. ENSEMBLE
On the other hand, the space should be inclusive and inviting for all types of impairments. The movement of the cans will create a white sound forming a different experience from the exterior elevating the person to feel as in they were part of the passage of wind that determines our perspective of the sky. As well, the can sheets will be in constant movement creating visual changes in the space such as those that a dandelion seed would take as it travels through the sky. In that case the person becomes the seed, which slowly unfolds through the passage of wind.

Public Inclusion
Users are encouraged to travel through the installation to experience a cloud of tactile connections which are inspired by the constellations as a form of orientation. The milky way is adapted as a path upon which one is guided, reorienting their sense of the intangible elements of the sky. An otherworldly ambience grows as users add layers and change connections using ties provided in the museum. From the interior looking out, these connections and the frame orient the exterior. From the outside, one can view through to the beautiful materiality of of the pavilion. The adjacent children’s hemisphere questions the interpretation of constellations as connecting in space by straight lines. Curved copper tubes and sliding beads allow childrens’ imaginations to wander and create their own games. The frame is low for climbing and remains open for safety and accessibility. Reorient is a strong visual focal point between the Children’s Museum and the church, creating a strong relationship between the two, providing both a celestial aesthetic, an interactive space of wonder, and place of intrigue for children. It will bring the community together to reconsider the bearing of the sky in their life.

...studio team Use the selected Sky Pavilion design as a spring board into a new installation project. Take the concept of Constellation, as developed by the Re-Orient team, and re-create an installation piece that is innovative and implementable. It need not reflect the Re-Orient team design but rather draw from their conceptual development. Use the success of the Dandelion Team’s distilled design, their easy user comprehension, and their focus on the interior experience. Bring by a brainstorm session and individual charette designs. As an outdoor installation, the work should address and emphasis on the play of light and shadow. The design should be simple, effective and bold. Focus on the experience of and within the installation. Work collaboratively as a Studio Team to source materials and build the creative vision.
