The goal of this program is to create a space that provides an inclusive haven for female

members

of

the

fitness

community. It should cater to their physical

and

encouraging

emotional personal

needs,

and

while

communal

growth.

Co-ed

fitness

facilities

can

be

overwhelming due to a large occupancy and discomfort from crowded, tight

spaces.

The

traditional

gym

is

also

typically more masculine and greatly limits the user type based on its design. While there are many reasons for women to attend a female-only fitness facility, the goal is to create a design that provides space variety to complies with the array of user needs and is inviting to all women.

Women are often expected to multimanage

SITE 5426 Guadelupe Street, Austin, TX 78751 Founded in the 1830s, Austin is the capital of Texas and is and located where the Colorado River crosses the Balcones Escarpment in the south-central part of the state, about 80 miles northeast of San Antonio. The city flourished as a trading center for ranchers and farmers after the arrival of the Houston and Texas Central Railroad and the construction of a permanent bridge across the Colorado River in 1871. Austin experienced dramatic growth during the 1990s, fueled mainly by hightechnology industries. Now, business, research and development, and manufacturing concerns involving computers, computer equipment, semiconductors, telecommunications, software, and biotechnology are among the city’s major employers. The city’s population is ethnically diverse. Less than half of its people are of European descent, more than one-third of the population is Hispanic, and African Americans and Asian Americans each constitute slightly less than one-tenth of the population.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT Women are often expected to multi-manage a variety of responsibilities everyday. Thus, the gym shouldn't be another responsibility for them to tackle, but a sought after respite from the chaos of their lives. Lady Bird Lake represents the peace that can be found in the frenzy. It flows through the city of Austin and is a popular relaxation site for many. "Interlude" should be organized in a manner that supports a smooth flow throughout the space which can be achieved by maximizing open floor space and designing a plan that is easy to navigate. The materials should be soothing and bright so that the spatial experience creates a gym environment that truly feels rewarding. Users should leave feeling energized and relaxed rather than tired and stressed.

Lady Bird Lake Running right through downtown Austin, Lady Bird Lake is a popular destination for kayaking, paddle boarding, and relaxing. It provides a place for community to foster and allows for a break from the urban environment.

Pathway NEXT: A ROBOTICS COMPANY. 10 Weeks

Fall 2022

12,000 SF

Boston, MA

Reception and Benching

20 22

Pathway All solutions are found through extensive research that go through many trials and errors before reaching their final conclusion. NEXT is a company that strives to be innovative and solve problems before they arise. One of the best ways to be prepared for the future is being mindful of the past. By creating a space that embraces the journey to discovery and encourages a flow between all the processes of research, the final product destination is justified by each step that led researchers to it.

A strong flow from initial questioning to the end results is the focus of this space,

which is

achieved through a clear primary path with all the spaces needed for success streamlining off the route.

SITE 101 Seaport BLVD Suite 600 Boston, MA 02210 In 1925, the Seaport district revolved around the piers. Called the Harbor Wharves at this time, the Seaport District was primarily used by boats to unload fish. The area's economy revolved around the harbor fishing until developers came in and over the years the district transformed to what it is today.

The concept of this space explores the role transition and progression both have o final results. Further, Boston is known for its rich history.

The Freedom Trail is a path that runs through the city with 16 historical sites that branch off of the main trail. The sites differ but tell the historically rich story of Boston.

The lighting element that runs through the entire benching space is an abstracted model of the Freedom Trail. It was created to serve as a reminder to remember the journey and that the path to success isn't always linear.

Work Cafe Bar and Counter-Top Seating

The work café is located at the center of the path and acts as a resting point for users. It has warmer colors than the rest of the space as well as more patterns in order to create casual atmosphere where users can collaborate, take a break, or simply enjoy a meal. It features a custom piece that doubles as a bar-top and counter-top surface where each individual can have their own space while still allowing sharing of ideas if wanted. There are multiple different seating arrangements with a variety of users in mind.

Converge AN ART GALLERY. 6 Weeks

NYC, NY

Reception and Gallery Entrance

Converge is defined as "meeting at one point". Another definition is to "gradually change so as to become similar Exhibition Space

or

develop

something

in

common". During the early 1900s, when this structure was built, more than 15 million immigrants arrived in the US. All immigrants came from different backgrounds and valued different cultures. Identity is a crucial part of humanity and a large part of this is the desire to be a part of something. The design of "Converge" aims to create a story that ends in a vibrant cluster of life that is rooted in the users' common love of art. Art doesn't have to be the same language or part of a specific culture to evoke the artist's intended response. It has

Fused A CO-WORKING SPACE. 5 Weeks

Fall 2021

7,500 SF

Roanoke, VA

Reception and Benching

20 21

The desire to avoid the physical office and work from home is stronger than ever following the COVID-19 pandemic. The push to minimize the gap between work and home has greatly influenced the growth of co-working. The flexibility and freedom co-working gives its users is the most appealing aspect to many who are tired of the traditional workplace environment.

Clients can choose their office layout, the degree of privacy, and enjoy the benefits of working with others while still feeling comfortable with their own space. Fused is quite literally all of these benefits "fused together".

Located at the heart of Roanoke, Virginia, is Elwood park. This park which dates back to the 1800s is a culmination of work, play, and pleasure. The park consists of an amphitheater, a playground, and a library. All of these sectors are connected by an art walk that is interwoven throughout the park.

In order for productivity to mesh with leisure, there needs to be defined spaces for relaxation, pleasure, focus, and collaboration. Fused is a combination of all the spaces required for a multitude of tasks a user might find themselves needing to complete in a particular environment.
