DIS INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE

Quick two week project incorporating five of Rodin’s statues in an exhibition in the courtyard of the local Thorvaldsen Museum.

Paris’ metro entrances are iconic symbols of the art nouveau movement and have inspired a lot of the morphology and composition of this pavillion

Auguste Rodin was the sculpture of the five statues in this exhibition. As a French artist who lived from 1890 - 1914, Rodin must have experienced art nouveau at its height.

Blending the work of Auguste Rodin with Bindesbøll’s Thorvaldsen museum, this pavillion encourages viewers to wander and reflect. Without taking away attention from Rodin’s sculptures, the pavillion almost blends into the courtyard but adds a bit of Art Nouveau and Flora Italica. Ana Burwell

Auguste Rodin was the sculpture of the five statues in this exhibition. As a French artist who lived from 1890 - 1914, Rodin must have experienced art nouveau at its height.

The Courtyard

The courtyard not only inspired the colors and shapes in this pavilion but it’s previous exhibit “Flora Italica” inspired the green walls in the design.

Visitors

A large part of the the demographic of the Thovaldsen museum are the “ponderers” who come to contemplate. The pavillion addresses this in its space design: no clear egress route and easy to get lost (if desired).

To the right and left are images of specimens from “Flora Italica,” an exhibit that recreated when Italian seeds were planted when Thorvaldsen’s statues were originally shipped over. These same plants will make up the green walls.

NEXT COMPETITION

This project was in response to a competition offered by Steelcase: a research and furniture company.

SUSTAINABILITY + WELLNESS

The sustainability approach to this project mainly focuses on materiality. Using Material Bank’s filtering method, materials can be sure to follow certifications and be at sustainable.

Biophillia is a large part of the design mainly for all its benefits. As shown in the graphic to the left, biophillic design can improve mental and physical productivity.

The “whimsy” in the concept directly targets Gen Z and the rising rates of ADHD in this generation. With different spaces having different visual feels, and the addition of the wildcard space, people with ADHD will find it easier to move around and change mindsets.

CONCEPT

Like stepping into another world with excitement around every corner: breeding creativity.

Gen Z will be able to find a completely new environment, inspiring them to enjoy the workplace and improve the working world as they advance in it.

NORTHSIDE DEVELOPMENT

In collaboration with Northside Futures and Northside Learning Center, this project aimed to propose a training center design for an existing site in Syracuse, NY in funding efforts. Although the project was largely a group effort, I was involved in every aspect.

CONCEPT

Derived from the culturally diverse influence of latticework craft, the design of space highlights repetitive use of geometric patterns combined with strong lines, acting as focal points extracted from these patterns, with an inclusion of solid and void instances, to further define connection and privacy.

Cultural Forms + Craftsmanship

Connection + Separation

INTENT

The training center represents the symbolism of latticework, promoting a culturally diverse educational hub that cultivates elements of inclusivity, ease of navigation, and recognition among the Northside community to create a naturally welcoming environment.
