CORPORATE OFFICE ART MUSEUM AND STUDIO EXHIBITION OF HONOR
Fall 2022
Fall 2023
Séc-he
TOWARD A BETTER TOMORROW
Sec-He serves as a long term exhibit located in Downtown Palm Springs. We acknowledge our location in adjacency to section 14 and honor the legacy of the survivors of the horrors that have shaken many generations of the indigenous and further communities there. Our goal is to memorialize the story from the beginning.
Sec-He (Palm Springs) always should have been a haven. We must not shy away from the history in shame, instead we aim to educate the story of those who fought so hard for the equality we are still seeking today. We hope all leave feeling educated and most importantly changed. Changed with the inhibition to continue to fight for the honor our community is so deserving of.
Conceptual Development
CONCEPT STATEMENT: This concept reflects the journey of self-actualization that all are deserving of. The past injustices of the Coachella Valley have affected marginalized groups in all areas of the psychological and even basic needs through displacement, discrimination, restriction and more. Our project aims to create dialogue about the troubled past of our area of discussion. We have not achieved the equality we are seeking until everyone in our country has the resources to self actualize. Through education and empathy we can work together to continue change in hope that all have the opportunity to prosper.
SPATIAL APPLICATION: Our concept explores the idea of Consciousness which reflects the journey and the steps one takes to understanding. Comprehension of the psychology of spatial perception and designing with attention to details such as light and scale can evoke a pathway of feeling in order to create empathy and collective consciousness of the injustices.

CONNECTING TO THE CULTURE OF THE BOSTON INNOVATION DISTRICT
Inspiration for the materiality and color choices were taken directly from the cityscape view of the Boston Innovation District and the rich colors that can be seen around sunset times the employees are leaving work for the day. This continues to connect the users of the space to the context of what is around them.

SUGGESTED CONFIGURATION (1)
This configuration is evenly dispersed throughout the office footprint as a base point for larger collaboration throughout the longer format of the day. Steelcase Flex desks are used in tandem with the Steelcase Gesture office chairs. It was important to use leading technology in the configuration of how this office creates.
SUGGESTED CONFIGURATION (3)
This configuration is placed in various buffer points through the office as smaller focused work areas, acknowledging that the office employees need more private areas to focus and will be utilizing the meeting spaces for more team work. This configuration is ideal for focused partner work as display screens can be turned to spark up a conversation.
SUGGESTED CONFIGURATION (2)
This configuration is dispersed as a personal workspace format playing with a sense of hierarchy for seating choices. Allowing a team leader to have placement for casual meetings to occur directly from the desk. This could be ideal for leadership roles within projects. It is idealized to encourage connection and flexibility in how working relationships are managed.
SUGGESTED CONFIGURATION (4)
Just like what was previously explained, this configuration is placed in various buffer points through the office as smaller focused work areas, acknowledging that the office employees need more private areas to focus and will be utilizing the meeting spaces for more team work. This configuration is considered to be the most private as display screens are not visible to the employee nearby. This allows for subtle companionship that is needed in an office space with the luxury of personal space.
EXHIBITION LOCALE
In tasked with linking principles of fashion and architecture, the needs of the human body serves as the connecting metaphor. Studying experiential design, one can notice that the space takes precedent over the human and one can really begin to surrender to the design in an exciting way.
Exhibition Locale is an Artist’s Hub located in New York City. Located in a tourist’s center in midtown, the artist works to highlight the community behind it. This art museum is operated by a folk artist using primarily painting and textiles as her medium. There are permanent galleries to showcase her lifelong work as well as temporary galleries to highlight members of adjacent communities. She lives and works in house and has collaboration opportunities in her studio as well as in the retail space. Overall this project works to create a celebration of local cultures in an unsophisticated way, juxtaposing other exhibits nearby. Ideally opening up accessibility of the appreciation of art to really engage the human through flexible and experiential design.
BETWEEN FASHION AND ARCHITECTURE, THE HUMAN BODY IS THE CONNECTING METAPHOR. HOW CAN WE MANIPULATE AND INVERSE THIS CONCEPT TO CREATE UNIQUE SPACE?

create physically soft edges
In the prompt of relating fashion to architecture, the connection of the two with the human body is explored and dissected into understanding the shape and how both weave around it. This concept explores how experiential design can be created when one reverses that and instead the human must weave around the physical. 24
Section Perspective
Art will be created for a personal collection as well as a temporary exhibition used to highlight members of the community that rotates bi-annually.
Adjacent communities include but are not limited to... Chelsea, Murray Hill, The Garment District and Hell’s Kitchen.
