Anna Goodman

Virginia Tech Interior Design

Welcome.

My name is Anna Goodman and I am a third year interior design honors student at Virginia Tech with a minor in Entrepreneurship.

I am passionate about the ways that good design can improve the quality of life for individuals as well as communities, and as a designer I hope to explore ways in which I can use design to serve others.

I am a problem solver, a servant leader, and a dedicated worker.

I am a resourceful, self-motivated, enthusiastic team player. My passion for design can be seen in each and every thing I do.

My top five strengths are: Strategic • Achiever • Learner • Belief • Discipline

Neurodiverse Workplace Fall 2023 | Individual | 10 Weeks | Revit, Enscape, Photoshop Over the past few years, how we view the workplace, the culture of work and where it physically happens, has changed.

The pandemic ignited a new pace of change, and presents designers with the challenge of solving for today’s challenges and planning for future change.

The future workplace should be designed to accommodate the growing population of neurodiverse thinkers and problem solvers. My concept is the creation of five versatile work environments, designed for diversity of choice and autonomy that support the wide range of neurodiverse creative thinkers in the workplace.

The warm colors represent the more collective environments: connect, learn, and create.

The open workspace areas offer varying levels of noise and senses of privacy. The individual can choose which environment works best for them, which can change daily, weekly, or hourly.

The city of Roanoke is a diverse population consisting of individuals from all backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life. The city also provides choice for the individual to decide which settings work best for them. Thinking of the workplace as a microcosm of the city, it should provide varying levels of environments that the individual can choose based on their best interests.

The cool colors represent the more individual environments: reflect and focus.

Choice will allow for workers to be more productive in environments that are conducive to their personal preferences.

The Cycle Retail Boutique | Charleston, South Carolina Spring 2023 | Individual | 7 Weeks | Sketchup, Enscape, Photoshop Inspired by the revitalization of King Street starting in the 1980s and its conversion back to a two-way road, The Cycle represents the idea that our actions are continuously affecting the environment, and that continuous action and persistence are required to start the renewal and regeneration process of our Earth.

We are bound to the Earth we inhabit, and it depends on us to positively sustain it. The Cycle challenges customers to think about cause and effect and the ways that we can purposefully transform and change the future of our environment.

Branding The Cycle logo was designed to reflect the concept of sustainability and revitalization in a modern, simplistic context that hints at a sophisticated brand.

YMCA at Virginia Tech International Welcome Center and Commercial Kitchen Spring 2023 | In collaboration with Eva Bean and Mackenzie Shipman | SketchUp, Enscape, Photoshop Whether the path is curving through the Blue Ridge Mountains or walking across North Main Street, we are interconnected through the network of roads that lead us here.

We are connected by the intersections that divide us and the roundabouts that circle us. Where we meet our traits become woven into each other’s lives, our identities forming from each thread.

Here, we are not single threads cut off from the rest, but woven together in the same community. This space reflects the individual paths that brought us here, but also the way that they are connected, that all roads lead here.

I was responsible for the 3D modeling and rendering, the concept development, and a collaborator in every other aspect of the design. I also designed the environmental graphics.

This layered wood wall is a representation of the map of the New River Valley and acts as a guide through the space.

Section Scale: 1/8" = 1-0'

Windows in the reception area and offices bring in natural light and create a welcoming environment.

The collaborative office provides flexible work options and encourages communication and community.

The tile pattern activates both wall and ceiling while also promoting the concept of interconnection and weaving.

Novare 2024 IDEC Competition: Restoration and respite space for college students Spring 2024 | In collaboration with Ella Macfee and Riley Mitchell | Revit, Enscape International students represent a minority on college campuses who face high levels of mental health struggles in their daily lives. Two of the biggest concerns include language and communication, which prevent many students from utilizing campus resources offered to address mental health issues (Burak). Feeling isolated, struggling with family relationships, and financial insecurity are other problems that international students face at much higher rates. The campus environment surrounding our site has one of the highest numbers of international students, reinforcing the need for a safe, restorative space that fosters a sense of community and belonging.

I was responsible for the 3D modeling and rendering, the concept development, and a collaborator in every other aspect of the design.

Site Located in an urban campus environment, our site is an old historic building adjacent to a popular walking trail, sitting right on a reservoir. Urban campus environments are associated with a 40% higher risk of depression and over 20% more anxiety than rural areas, (UDMH).

We found that blue space has the best restorative potential among the types of campus environments, above green space. This research also showed that water is considered to be one of the most important landscape elements, and highly valuable for restoration, (Sun et al.)

Concept For many international students, water is what is separating them from their families and what is familiar. Our space is a place of reflection; This is where you connect with what’s inside and all around you, and understand that it is not just what separates you but also what brings you together. It’s an exploration of restoration through sky and water, healing through the landscape of the present by self reflection and contemplation of the future.

Burak, Patricia. Addressing Mental Health Issues Affecting International Students. 17 May 2019. Sun, Siyun, et al. “The Psychological Restorative Effects of Campus Environments on College Students in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Case Study at Northwest A&F University, Shaanxi, China.” International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, vol. 18, no. 16, 1 Jan. 2021, p. 8731, www.mdpi. com/1660-4601/18/16/8731, https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph18168731. UDMH. “How the City Affects Mental Health.” Centre for Urban Design and Mental Health, 2019, www.urbandesignmentalhealth.com/howthe-city-affects-mental-health.html.

Old and New The architecture of our building reflects the concept by bridging the gap between old and new, past and future. The juxtaposition of the historical exterior with a more modern addition reinforces the concept of connecting with what is familiar, but also embracing what is new and reflecting on the intersection of those thoughts.

Kaplan’s Attention Restoration Theory (ART) explains that restoration is a process of recharging. In a restorative environment, an individual should recover, experience repair, restore, and improve the ability to reflect on what’s important. ART proposes that a restorative environment includes four dimensions: being away, extent, fascination, and compatibility, (Sun et al.).

The sense of being away can be physically detaching from worry, or a psychological adjustment such as thinking, sitting, or meditating

Compatibility assumes that mental restoration can come from intrinsic activities and cohesion with the environment

Extent implies a rich environment that engages the mind and promotes exploration

Blue space — sky and water — provides fascination and increases the restorative potential of the environment
