Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman - 1956

By Charles & Ray Eames

FURNITURE ANALYSIS While learning the history of furniture design we focused on chair design specifically. Culture, location, and time in history were major contributing factors to the designs produced. These factors helped to gain an appreciation and understanding of the influences we have in present designs. Shown are hand drawn images of some of the world renowned and impactful chair designs we investigated.

Easy Edge Side Chair - 1972

By Frank Gehry

Klismos Chair - 1748 C.E.

Throne of Maximian - 540 C.E.

King Tutankhamen’s Throne Chair - Early 1300’s

ARTISTIC RENDERINGS Hand drawn recreations of exemplary chair designs throughout time combined with research allowed for a more in depth thought process. Noting material choice, weight, detailing, and many more factors that influence the design of furniture can allow you to better understand the history of design to present designs.

Emphasis on circulation, sustainable materials, and craftmanship design elements create the inspiring and professional workspace.

The columns and diagonal trusses throughout the existing buildings structure that proved to be a challenge, were thoughtfully encorporated into the design.

PLAYING WITH FORM & FUNCTION The abstract form of the unique monolithic cabin drew inspiration from the mountain valleys the cabin is surrounded by.

The angles created on the roof and walls created the opprotunity for skylights, storage, and scenic views into the valley.

The glass curtain wall and large porch area encourage the occupant to connect with the nature around them to help them further relax at there getaway. The materials were applied in Rhino as well as creating the topography and furniture from scratch to further our skills in the program.

CONCEPT To compliment the surrounding nature a natural color palette was chosen. The minimal style is meant to highlight the natural beauty offered by the landscape.

REALISTIC RENDERINGS Renovation of a multi-functional commercial office building to increase skills and knowledge in designing and application in Revit. Color, texture of materials, and lighting used in the space adds interest to the overall design and helps designate spaces in the open floor plan. Rendering materials in Revit to appear realistic enables the client to view a perspective of the experience one would have.

JACOBY STUDIOS Level 2

Renovation of a previous office building into a retirement living facility in Paderborn, Germany. Working with the a real building recreated a project that would be given in the field.

Renovating a building taught us how to achieve economical and environmental awareness in our designs. Security and privacy were important factors due to having public and private living spaces in one shared facility.

Individual Revit Model Sections

Individual Revit Model Perspective Color Studies

VIRTUAL ANALYSIS After producing multiple iterations of designs with surface, scale, and light effects on the exterior and interior in mind, three of the models

Combined Model Section

were combined to research the addition of thresholds. The scale of the threshold was made larger for a hyiearchal break between the spaces. The overall experience of the lighting and scale throughout the building is shown by a combination of phsyical and digital renderings.

To further understand how to manipulate an interior, we applied color to the interiors of our models. Using our knowledge of color theory to expand or compress the space.

Photographs of Physical Model

PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT This series examines how creative and critical thought can be applied to scale and lighting, which influences the interior experience. Many iterations of individual building designs were created exhibiting different lighting strategies and scales.

Photographing the physical models enhanced the understanding of the shadows influence on the experience of the interior space.

PUMPKIN SLICE HAND DRAWINGS & PHYSICAL MODELING

27

CONCEPT One of the very first projects produced, and one of the most infulencial to me being a good designer, involved abstract thinking based off of something ordinary.

Analyzing my chosen vegetable, a pumpkin, I was able to look into the interior to see the contents such as veins, seeds, dew, etc. Using the design principles and the observed attributes, patterns and designs were created.

Abstraction to Design To further the design process, 3D inhabitable spaces were created based on the abstact drawings of the pumpkin. Four iterations of design are produced with different scales in mind.

BARE BASICS Introduction assignment to interior design with the goal to fully understand how to create section drawings as well as what these drawings can tell us. Using our learned knowledge of sections, we recreated our chosen shoe in longitudinal, cross, and cross hatch section of cardboard plus one of a material of our choice, mine being clay.
