[ Cultural Center / Circular ] Academic Work, Commercial Design, Individual Work, 2014 Critic: Marleen Newman Location: Place: 845 8th St, Columbus, IN 47201 Concept: The space I want to create is to have more flexibility; it could accommodate clients’ usage. As a result, walls are very limited in the space. I have two circle glass wall to define the rhythm, and emphasizes two important area: one is café and the other one is reception. The circles are connected by gift shop wall that separate the space asymmetrical. The open spaces’ purpose is for gallery and flexible office area.

Graphic Design/ Drawings / Models
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe He is an influential figure for modern architecture. The most famous quote is “ Less is more�. He built lots of skyscrapers when he headed to the United States around 1933. In his design, there are minimal walls and columns, they are seen as various glass box from outside. The beauty of rational and light ideas are well-known.
Joost Schmidt The most famous work he did is Exhibition Poster for Bauhaus. He combined geometric forms with scripts. With the interpretation of text and artistic form, it really highlights the Expressionist graphics. This poster helps Bauhaus to build its reputation; without the poster, Bauhaus would not be as famous as the present.
Laszlo Moholy-Nagy
Herbert Bayer
Marcel Beurer
For Laszlo, he designed Exhibition Catalogs with other designers that the layout challenges traditional bookdesigners. He constructed typographical experiment like nobody else. He is most well-known for his three colors arrangement for the text and the background. His design has asymmetric balance. His design changes the illustrations of the images with text.
The title page he designed for Bauhaus is seen as a milestone in the modern commercial art. As a graphic designer, he linked different media into this title page. The relationship of light and shadows, negative and positive, foreground and background are all well designed and illustrated. He marked the innovation of typography and advertising design to a formal level.
As the genesis of modern steel chair, Marcel focused on the appearance of the material expression. The famous Wassily Chair has fluent lines of steel frames combined with stripes of black fabric. This simplicity marks the aesthetic machine-like property in the design, also the main focused of Bauhaus ideas.
