About me

My name is Eva and I come from beautif ul Slovakia. I studied Interior Design at Chelsea College of Arts with BA (Hon) D egree. My sensitivity to space and obsessive need to improve it from early age has led me to this path. I thrive on tackling â&#x20AC;&#x153;real-worldâ&#x20AC;? social, economic and environmental issues through creative design thinking. I love to use my design skills and understanding of design potential as a tool to benefit society and create a positive impact on any scale. I approach ever y project as a problem to be solved, enjoy working in teams embracing diversity and collaboration. When I am not editing my work or creating my small design projects, I am health trend guru, gy m freak, working on the best version of myself or alternatively I can be found somewhere in the nature, My

SEASHELL Public design

SEASHELL

eashell project is a bridging project to BA (Hons) ISD that i nv i te s to exa m i n t h e r e l a t i o n s h i p b e t we e n fo o d a n d d e s i g n /a r c h i te c t u r e w h e r e t h e a c t of e a t i n g i s s e e n a s a s p a t i a l a n d p e r fo r m a n ce a r t . The project begins with hosting an unusual dinner party on the beach. The task was to observe and analyze the dinner party and use that to create a new space or intervention within an existing space to provide a unique experience for people to eat informally along my daily commute to London Victoria Station. Using the analysis from the dinner party, sounds of the ocean w the predominant aspect of our experience and recordings.

Living in a hectic city we are constantly faced with feelings of stress and anxiety, constant noise, crowds etc. In the long term, this way of living can have negative effects on our mind and body. Project â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shellâ&#x20AC;? offers a public space to eat at the bustling Victoria station for near by office workers as well as leisure travelers. The Shell is constructed in the shape of a sea shell providing the space with the sound off the ocean waves. When we pick up a seashell and place it close to our ear we can hear the waves of the ocean crashing onto the beach. This popular folk myth is the concept for this project. The aim of this project is to offer a space of calm and relaxation and therefore create a positive impact on wellbeing of the commuters during their journeys.

The chosen place is next to platform 7 and is made up of rows of gray metal seats that face to each other.

From this mapping I intended to find out how much time people spend in this area. I have noticed that number of people increased during the lunchtime due to office worker from surrounding areas having their lunch and stayed there up to 30 min.

The Yellow Iris has potential healing powers and outstanding water filtration abilities in removing heavy metals, dirt and pollution out of water.Â The roots are usually planted in a substrate (e.g. lava-stone) in a reedbed-setup. The roots then improve water quality by consuming nutrient pollutants, such as from agricultural runoff and absorb heavy metals from the water.

The activation of the old boatyard shed aims to support the high street regeneration.

Church of Google

It is believed by followers that the search engine Google is the closest humankind has ever come to directly experiencing an actual God. The concept of the design had to be strictly inspired by city of London.

The “Church of Google” project is an outcome of the analysis of the ‘googlers’ devotion to the company, sharing one vision and being part of bigger picture.

Google’s design philosophy is centered on the principal that great results can be achieved through a creative, collaborative, date based design process.

The church structure offers a unique spatial experience that aims to bring the feeling of working in a grand space as well as to feel humbled and special. It encourages devotion to serve one vision.

The design concept is built on the idea of “Googlism” as a existing religion that worships Google as a ultimate God.

connects two people via a delicate balance of the original user on one seat and a real person on the other. There is no space for a mobile device and the users are forced to make direct communication, trying to balance the object by holding hands and talking with each other.

In the center of the project is a real user Tatiana who suffers from ‘autophobia’ – a fear of being alone. A need to be surrounded by people forces her to obsessively use social media.

An old household trolley, a bent ply wood chair seat and bicycle saddle found in a second hand shop have been re-appropreated to final object called 'Together' to restored direct human contact.

Up to 45% of food waste is created at household level with fruits and vegetables leading the charts. It is necessary for us to become part of the solution in changing the way we live and consume in our daily life to ensure a sustainable future. Â

With the rise in global warming and increasing pollution levels, with food production and consumption we throw away an estimated 30% â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 50% generating more greenhouse gases than most entire countries do in total. Aside from the social, economic and moral implications of the waste an estimated 805 million people go to bed hungry each day.

The aim of this project is to educate consumers about the most appropriate ways of storing fruits and vegetables to prolong freshness and enhance the flavors thus preventing potential waste and to raise awareness of the food waste problem. It is interactive in nature and invites consumers to connect to food again.

I have designed a shelving system to be placed in to the community van that would store donated fruits/vegetables. The design of the shelf is based on my extensive research on how to store every fruit and vegetable to prolong its freshness as well as improve flavor and therefor prevent wastage. This shelf will also provide education on correct storage

techniques where community can learn and observe when donating/collecting. Traditional materials used for storage of foods are wood and glass. In my design I proposed recycled and sustainable materials such as reclaimed timber for wooden boxes, used steel water pipes for the main construction of the shelf as well as recycled glass to create transparent fridges and other glass parts of the shelf and ceramics. Fruits and vegetables were traditionally stored in the root cellar or pantry. I have tried to recreate this condition within the interior of the van by using a white brick wall and reclaimed timber.
