Concept Statement

Be transformed and unwind as you stroll through the many immersive and innovative options at Alden Art Library. This design, with an interior palate of tranquil blue, sea glass green and sandstone, promotes serenity while you engage with the plethora of books and art collections. As you walk along a calm, nurturing area of a biophilia atmosphere, an arcadian rhythm of natural lighting and natural air circulation will be infused throughout the design. You can unwind in a large room with a movie or an immersive experience. Or you can take off your shoes, recline and relax in one of the smaller offices for an even more immersive experience while reading, studying, listening or watching a remarkable story. Any way you choose to spend your time at the Alden Art Library, you will leave centered, rejuvenated and calm.

Conclusion

Listing parts of a boat was a fun way to label the library. It was through the process of designing a library of the future, the coastal waters drove the design. I feel this design encourages and supports opportunities for visitors to sit alone, have dialogue with peers and inevitably immerse themselves while spending time at the library any way they choose to do so. I also feel this design will encourage visitors to unwind and leave rejuvenated, centered and calm which will promote health and wellbeing to a busy work life.

Concept Development

Through research, and reading what NEXT was looking for in their office space in Dallas, TX, I was drawn to several aspects of their ideas on an office atmosphere.

I was drawn to the idea of play, collaborative spaces and a wellness room. To incompass these ideas, I first thought of using board games as inspiration, which changed to an intermingling of spaces and people. When you come to an office to work, you also mingle, chat and collaborate. It’s a braiding of several aspects of life. This became my inspiration. A braid or twist.

My design has a twist of play, of collaborative open spaces along with focus work spaces .

ORGANIZING SLIDE (TO BE REMOVED)

Each team will analyze the assigned benchmark community. The deliverables for this project include preparing one 11"x17” poster layout (either poster or landscape orientation) per team that includes the following information listed below. Additionally, your team will need to work together to create a brief PowerPoint presentation (~5-8 slides) featuring the images and information shown in your poster. Also, include a slide showing your completed poster as well. This presentation should be voiced over with an explanation of what you found.

•Community name

•Location

•Logo and branding

•Population check

•Community size (acres) check

•Brief summary of the community

•Number of housing units

•Types and Sizes of Residences (i.e. condominiums, attached single family homes, detached single family homes, etc.)

•Amenities

4:18 AM – Rachel is toast, signing off. Looks like slide 10 is the only thing left to attend to.

Change/modify/anything you want to! (I’m a terrible graphic designer!!)

•Description of primary social core layout and design including identification and description of the social space types found there (e.g. restaurants with indoor and/or outdoor seating, porches, recreation rooms, etc.)

•Identify strengths & weaknesses of the social core’s design. Address things such as:

• Active Engagement Opportunities

• Home Range & Walkability

• Levels of Territory (some areas with more privacy and other areas that are more public)

• Universal Design Features

• Sociopetal vs. Sociofugal Layouts

• Mystery Created by Partial Views - Format page

• Noticeable Landmarks - Format page

Will check in midday and make sure it’s ready to record. (Most slides have a scrip in the notes.) Then we each turn in a copy of the final presentation.

I think we rocked it!

Kim and I owe you! You rock!

Had to do a quick tutorial this morn lol

The Ridges Literature Review

Topic: Personalization and Territory at Home

Important Points & Design

Recommendations:

Point one:

If you’ve ever watched an episode of the popular TV series The Big Bang Theory, you probably know that the character Sheldon has a ‘spot.’ For him, one end of the couch “is close enough to the radiator to remain warm and yet not so close as to cause perspiration,” and “faces the television at an angle that is neither direct, thus discouraging conversation, nor so far wide as to create a parallax distortion.” When one of his friends sits in his spot, Sheldon overreacts and demands that the person move immediately. But maybe we all have a spot (and dislike it when it’s taken).

Point two :

More specifically, territoriality involves (a) physical space, (b) possession, (c) defense, (d) exclusiveness of use, (e) markers, (f) personalization, and (g) identity (Edney, 1974). It could be argued, as Knapp (1978) does, that such behavior is also a form of preventative defense. By leaving my belongings on the table, I am anticipating infringement and acting to stop it before it occurs.

Point one:

Ways to apply this to your project:

Front door will have an overhand awning which can be adjusted. The awning over the door can be adjusted to suit how the owner wants it to look.

Point two

A lobby will occupy the space the door sits in can be personalized with personal plants/décor.

Quote one: “Hey, that’s my spot.” (p.1)

Direct quotes (with quote’s page #) that you may want to reference:

Quote two: “Feeling territorial over a place or thing comes about because of attitudes and behaviors based on control and perceived or actual ownership” (p. 1)

Important Points & Design Recommendations:

Point one

It was Oscar Newman when arguing about urban residential neighborhood stated it was possible to design the physical environment of residential environments in such a way to decrease crime levels by affecting the behavior of both residents and potential offenders and thus lead to lower levels of crime. More specifically, it was possible to create physical layouts of residential areas that allow residents to better control the areas. It was also possible to create physical layouts that would discourage or deter potential criminals from committing their offenses in these areas. There are four key concepts in his theory and design principles: territoriality, surveillance, image, and milieu. Newman suggests that physical space can be designed to create areas of territorial influence. Physical elements or markers can be used to define private or semi‐private spaces that encourage residents to assume more responsibility for the areas than they would if the areas were fully public spaces.

Point two

Physical subdivisions that create smaller spaces can encourage occupants to adopt proprietary attitudes which serve as deterrents to crime. Residents will come to see these areas are their own spaces, be more concerned for them, and exert more control over the activities occurring in them. The same elements or markers, whether real (e.g., fences, gates) or symbolic (e.g., signs, plantings) can deter or discourage outsiders from intruding into the areas to commit crime.

Point three

A study by Patrick Donnelly and Charles Kimble examined the effectiveness of a Newman‐directed plan that created small, distinct mini‐areas in one urban neighborhood by closing off streets that significantly reduced cut‐through traffic. Newman argued that these mini neighborhoods would see less crime since these areas would become more private, neighbors would get to know each other better, and look after their neighbors more closely.

Point one:

Ways to apply this to your project:

Create a space outside the door for personalization and ownership with a window and wall space to decorate or add personal information

Point two

Create sharing space/something to take care of together in a lobby they share.

Point three:

surveillance camera and a window to look out into the space before leaving or entering home

“It’s was possible to create physical layouts of residential areas that allow residents to better control the areas” (p. 2)

Quote two:

“physical space can be designed to create areas of territorial influence. Physical elements or markers can be used to define private or semi-private spaces that encourage residents to assume more responsibility for the areas than they would if the areas were fully public spaces. (p. 2)

Quote three:

“Residents will come to see these areas are their own spaces, be more concerned for them, and exert more control over the activities occurring in them. The same elements or markers, whether real (e.g., fences, gates) or symbolic (e.g., signs, plantings) can deter or discourage outsiders from intruding into the areas to commit crime” (p. 3)

Please see the following slide Source Three: Privacy and Crowding

Topic: Privacy and Crowding in Residential Environments

o Point one

Crowding can become a concern if residents have too many people to interact with. The negative impacts of feeling crowded include increases in stress and social withdrawal (Valins & Baum, 1973). Feelings of crowding should be mitigated; increasing privacy should not result in isolation. Many students report that they consider traditional residences to be crowded (Valins & Baum, 1973).

o Point two

Important Points & Design Recommendations:

Ways to apply this to your project:

By fostering new relationships through interactions during informal and common shared activities in secondary territories, architectural design can provide instances for social interaction to occur passively through different types of physical barriers (Altman & Chemers, 1993). Although these barriers cannot guarantee that friendship and socialization will occur. Rather, architecture divides spaces into those with either more or less privacy. Open spaces are designed to encourage association and socializing, whereas enclosed spaces are designed to strengthen in-group formation (Al-Homoud & Abu-Obeid, 2003).

o Point three

According to Altman (1975), “primary territories are owned and used exclusively by individuals or groups” (p. 112) on a reasonably permanent basis, are part of their daily activities, and their ownership can be perceived by others. However, in the examination of usage of a built space, a distinction of density between an individual, a pair of people and a group must be made, since the ability to exert control varies between these categories.

o Point one

Design lobby space just outside residential doors to be used to interact and share in ownership

o Point two

Design bigger lobby spaces groups of residences can occupy and spend time together relaxing and socializing.

o Quote one:

Direct quotes (with quote’s page #) that you may want to reference:

“Students can achieve the amount of privacy that they desire by going into different spaces allowing them to balance feelings of isolation (due to excessive privacy) and feeling crowded (due to insufficient privacy; Altman, 1975).”

o Quote two:

Topic: Privacy and Crowding in Residential Environments

, M. M., & Sulaiman , A. B. (2005, April). Personalization as a sustainable approach to mass housing: The fundamental theory. In Conference on Sustainable Building South East Asia (Vol. 11, p. 13).

Important Points & Design Recommendations:

o Point one:

Standardized house design is commonly employed in current mass housing in Malaysia. Although all completed houses are assumed to have met the building and planning regulations, the current renovation works indicate the ‘failure’ of the design to meet the expectation of users of different backgrounds. The paper propagates “personalization” as a sustainable means of achieving sustainable living environment. Personalization is an act of marking and changing in order to impose control on one’s territory. The act ranges from furniture rearrangement, putting up displays to structural modification of living units.

o Point two:

“Personalization” is essential and a continuous process in housing because people’s physical and psychological needs are ever changing.

o Point three:

Personalization is a way to establish user meaning of built environment (Rapoport, 1982). It is also a process of generating environmental meaning that lead towards achieving one’s values and goals.

o Point four

o Point one

Offer residences a backdrop to manipulate and add own personality to this space (a wall or lobby)

Ways to apply this to your project:

Direct quotes (with quote’s page #) that you may want to reference:

Help residences make their own decisions with moveable furniture so they can change their living environment to what best suits them. Maybe provide furniture packages they can choose from. Each package has a different price point and various furniture.

o Quote one:

“Building houses is a natural human activity. A Chinese proverb says “the day the man stops building his house is the day that he dies”” (p 506)

o Quote two:

“There is a belief that today we shape the environment and tomorrow the environment will shape us. Therefore, the users must have a say in their future” (p 506)

Energetic Future

Refreshing Natural Materials

Residents can sit at the many tree lined sitting areas to gather with friends or with their own thoughts and be transported to a safe place which is provided by the trees.

The newly designed building will recharge you as you step into time-honored spaces and traditions of Ohio. You’ll walk in luxurious soft colors of cream, tan, rust and grays which will set you down in safe places. With poetic lines, romantic enclaves, adventurous hues and dramatic fabrics, you’ll be transported to a place of literary sounds, smells and sights. This will be where you’ll stay and continue the story of your life.

The Ridges Social Core

The Ridges is a community of BRICKS: a Building for Renewal, Inclusion, Collaboration, and Knowledge.

The building will acknowledge its place within history by using Ohio brick, articulated arches, and detailed millwork. Vertical lines and symmetry define the firm foundation the community lives upon, but the effect is softened with refreshing natural materials. This design will bridge old with the new by uniting expansive, vibrant areas of living with quiet, smaller areas. Finally, by appealing to the senses, the community is fully enveloped in a supportive atmosphere to Meet, Grow, and Thrive.

The newly designed Building Two, at the Ridges, will recharge you as you step into spaces of time-honor traditions of Ohio brick, stucco and glass. You’ll walk in luxurious soft colors of cream, tan, rust, and grays which will set you down in safe places. With poetic lines, romantic enclaves, adventurous hues and dramatic fabrics you will be transported to a place of literary sounds, smells and sights. This will be where you’ll stay and continue the story of your life.

who are you?

Who am I at my core? I’d say I’m a multiple of things (see titles below). At my core, I am family-oriented, altruistic, and spiritual. I derive a great deal of pleasure and strength from being around my close friends and I value relationships which are genuine. At the same time, I enjoy turning strangers into friends. I value responsibility and naturally take ownership of every project I’m involved in while still collarborating and helping others succeed. I like that I’m easy to trust. I see potential in other people. Every person is alive with possibilities, and I’m thrilled when someone experiences success. I can be your biggest cheerleader. I value success not in money or prestige, but in the meaning of life and work satisfaction. This provides me with direction and consistency. I also find great satisfaction taking something from below average to above average. Transforming something strong into something superb is thrilling. I especially like capitalizing on the gifts with which I am blessed. It’s more productive and more fun.

The following pages will give you additional quick snipets into the life of…

Kim D. Burns.

A daughter, sister, cousin, aunt, mother, a friend, a neighbor, an inspiring interior designer, an artist, a student, a pet owner, a hiker/walker, an ex-spouse, a student of Christianity, an experimental gardner, a nature and animal lover. Through the CliftonStrengths assessment, I tested strong in belief, responsibility, developer, maximizer and relator.

daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and mother …

I am a daughter and sister. The youngest of four children. My mom, Jean, is sitting in “Grandpa’s red chair”. My brother, Tom stands with his wife Rebecca behind my mom. My sisters, Lyn and Lee are sitting on the white upholstered chairs.

My fondest memory in my childhood is when we gathered at the dinner table and played games or watched TV in the family room or participated in sports activities or went to sporting events in my hometown of Portsmouth, Ohio. Both my parents were teachers. My mom taught the 4th grade talented and gifted program and my Dad, once the head basketball and golf coach, taught health and science.

I am a Mother, and my daughter Abby is sitting on the arm of “Grandpa’s red chair”. She is an art teacher, married and lives in Arizona.

I am an aunt. Starting from the left, Avianna with boyfriend Tonomi, Patrice, Me, Rebecca, Tom, Denver with his wife Tabby, Galen and Jenna. Denver and Tabby’s son, Killian, is two.

My Dad, now deceased, was a brother of five children and so I come from a large family with a plethora of cousins who I love and adore. (see cousins on page 15)

thesis…

For my Senior thesis, I focused on community outreach. I believe offering a community building, in a diverse neighborhood, with a variety of spaces to unwind, get a beverage at the café and take an art or wellbeing class will inspire individuals to be part of a hub and community. There is a balance in nature which happens organically, like Fibonacci, and I wanted to design a center which inspires individuals to be part of a hub where they can spend time alone or with a friend in spaces which are quiet, secure and havens of natural light. The center offers open spaces with large windows for natural light and a place to walk among gardens and pathways. As the community enters, they see plants and earthtone colors in red, orange, blue and green throughout the spaces. I feel families and individual people in a community need a hub to gather and create lasting friendships which fosters wellbeing and balance. There is a game room, a community theater, locker rooms, art rooms, a yoga room, a gallery and a gift shop.

work experience …

In the Ohio University Interior Architecture program, I found success in both my art classes and interior architecture classes. They were challenging and I felt extreme satisfaction completing assignments and doing my best. In one perspective drawing assignment, it took six hours to complete, but it felt like fifteen minutes (see perspective drawing, page 15). When taking interior architecture classes, I was fascinated at the process of design and wanted to find out all I could at what the process looks like. I value the consistency a design process provides because it’s bigger than myself, and I can be its biggest cheerleader. Design process phases: Programming, Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documentation, and End of Project documentation and Critique.

When learning about Revit and using the tools to create designs, it wasn’t until Studio IV that I felt confident with the tools which then opened a door to poor my creativity into the design project. The Art Library of the Future was the project. I had so much fun! Portfolio

In the Ohio University Interior Architecture Program, I now have skills in Revit, Sketchup, Adobe Creative Cloud: Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere Pro, Fresco, After Effects, Bridge, and Lightroom. For past work experience see page 8.

past work experience…

I started working in data entry then switched to teaching preschool children. I spent ten plus years teaching children, ages 3-5, at church and in preschool settings. After I had honed my skills as a lead teacher, I wanted to pursue an administrative role in childcare and found myself running my own preschool in my home. As teacher, I found great satisfaction in putting together projects, arranging the room with materials and but I found myself more interested in room design, then teaching children.

Then I pursued a part-time assistant director’s position and found satisfaction assisting the director and processing daily paperwork using Microsoft and Google Office products. But the greatest satisfaction I had, was researching, designing and creating a closet out of plastic clapboard for one of the preschool rooms. Then again with I researched, designed and created a wall of activities to help children focus. The challenge I overcame is finding a way to create the activities without damage to the rug flooring in the hallway. I drew the activities on contact paper. As the children went through the hall, they could pop balloons, jump to touch leaves on a tree, swish rain drops, kick ants, jump over flowers, or trace a swiggly line with their finger.

Through a few residential and commercial clients, I have been able to work directly with clients to identify the projects scope and direction. I approach projects with an inquisitive mind because the best I can be of service is to find out the actual problem. I love to transform something good into something uniquely better and the only way I can do this is by asking probing questions to clarify vision.

In experience, I have conducted research, created mood boards to convey and confirm the vision, and I have presented design solutions.

goals and aspirations…

 Graduate with a BFA in Interior Architecture from Ohio University

 Inspire and grow in community with co-workers, neighbors, and friends. Create Design Inspire Graduate

 Design interiors in a design firm

 Continue experimenting and creating various color and shape combinations in a garden

hobbies | pastimes | passions…

Journaling is a passion. I find it very therapeutic to write out my thoughts and enjoy the flow of my thoughts onto paper. I journal just about every day.

Hiking/walking is a passion. I enjoy hiking and walking with Luna whenever I need to get away and get into nature.

Gardening is a hobby because I so enjoy mixing a variety of flowers together. I enjoy the contrast of colors and shapes when they are maturing. They form interesting and dynamic relationships with each other.

Beading is a pastime. I can design and put together unique necklaces, bracelets, keychains and lamp hooks for hours.

inspiration…

“You employ stone, wood, and concrete, and with these materials you build houses and palaces. That is construction. Ingenuity is at work.

“But suddenly you touch my heart, you do me good. I am happy and I say, “This is beautiful.” That is architecture. Art enters in.

“My house is practical. I thank you, as I might thank Railway engineers, or the Telephone service. You have not touched my heart.

“But suppose that walls rise toward heaven in such a way that I am moved. I perceive your intentions. Your mood has been gentle, brutal, charming, or noble. The stones you have erected tell me so. You fix me to the place and my eyes regard it. They behold something which expresses a thought. A thought which reveals itself without word or sound, but solely by means of shapes which stand in a certain relationship to one another. These shapes are such that they are clearly revealed in light. The relationships between them do not necessarily have any reference to what is practical or descriptive. They are a mathematical creation of our mind. They are the language of Architecture. By the use of raw materials and starting from conditions more or less utilitarian, you have established certain relationships which have aroused my emotions. This is Architecture.” (Le Corbusier, 1927)
