Concept + Design Intent

Aura is a haven designed to be an escape for students to unwind from academic stresses, prioritizing the harmony of MIND, BODY, and SOUL through an immersive focus on the four senses. From soothing sounds to comforting textures and inviting scents, Aura creates an environment that mimics a breath of fresh air and allows students to rejuvenate, finding balance in their mental health.

STUDENT NARRATIVE

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health challenges among college students have been rapidly increasing. As of 2022, 60% of students say that they have noticed a decline in their mental health. This number is 50% higher than in 2013. Despite students’ mental health being on a constant decline, students are hesitant to ask for help. Many colleges are aware of this issue but simply do not provide adequate resources to help students. All too often, students are left on a waiting list to receive any kind of university-funded counseling. Students deserve the opportunity to find refuge any time they need it. Aura takes a new approach to improving students’ mental health. By promoting MIND, BODY, and SOUL care, Aura gives students a new way to care for themselves by catering to their senses. Students can leave this space feeling grounded and calm. The space is open to all students.

Aura takes a design-based approach to improving the mental health of students. SIGHT is the first sense that Aura affects. One way this is accomplished is by incorporating natural light. Natural light has been shown to reduce stress and depression. It also plays a major role in regulating the circadian rhythm, which in turn regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Large windows in the space allow natural light that can be easily controlled using the wood partitions, while also providing a view of the outdoor courtyard. The use of soft, plush materials appeals to the students’ sense of TOUCH. They can simply relax and experience ultimate comfort in the space. While they are taking a rest, students are relaxed by the SOUND of water falling down the rock wall that is included. This allows an additional way for students to feel connected to nature. The use of real flowers creates an aromatic experience for students, connecting them back to their sense of SMELL. Overall, Aura is about helping students with a simple approach: bringing them back to their senses. In a world full of assignments, due dates, and deadlines, students need a place to simply take a break, which is provided by Aura.

THE WINFIELD | 14

Concept & Design Intent

Located in Scottsdale, Arizona, The Winfield is designed as a testament to its vast landscape and topography surrounding it. “Winfield” pays homage to the American military leader, Winfield Scott, who would make the then-town of Salt River Valley into what is now known as Scottsdale. The interior features organic architectural elements and various textures that reflect canyons, deserts, and national parks. Biophilia is a key component of this design, and is incorporated through floorto-ceiling windows, greenery, and locally sourced materials that elicit feelings of serenity and tranquility. The Winfield is not just a senior living community, but a sanctuary dedicated to its beautiful environment and the enrichment of the lives of residents and guests.

15 | THE WINFIELD
THE WINFIELD | 16 Rendered Floor Plan

COMMUNITY

Strategic spatial design fosters socialization between residents and guests, with common areas offering convenient access and comfort through interior and exterior entrances.

HEALING ENGAGEMENT

Modern technology is integrated to simplify seniors’ lives and enhance their experience, offering opportunities for brain engagement in various ways.

Soothing colors, strategic lighting, and appropriate patterns create a residential ambiance, enhancing residents’ mental wellness by fostering a sense of home.

SENSORY BIOPHILIA SAFETY

Biophilic design prioritizes nature’s benefits, incorporating greenery, natural light, and local materials to connect residents with the outdoors.

Residents’ wellbeing and safety are prioritized with clear paths, curved furniture, non-slip floors, and antimicrobial materials, ensuring comfort and security.

Acoustical materials control noise for a relaxed atmosphere, while visually appropriate materials offer aesthetic charm without overwhelming seniors’ eyes.

ETEREO | 32

Concept & Design Intent

Etereo is more than just a restaurant, it is a celebration of Chilean culture, communal values, and the breathtaking landscapes that define this diverse country. Inspired by the essence of the English word “ethereal,” Etereo captures the perfectly refined moments shared with loved ones, making it a place where families come together to savor the feeling of togetherness. Chileans believe that the people and places dearest to them are the foundations of who they are, and Etereo strives to reflect that in this design. The restaurant’s design draws inspiration from Chile’s various landscapes. Locally sourced materials, including wood, stone, and copper create an ambiance that seamlessly integrates the natural beauty surrounding us. The incorporation of authentic patterns, textures, and strategic lighting that every visitor enjoys a memorable experience. Etereo pays tribute to the rich culture and awe-inspiring terrain of Chile, showing how special it truly is.

33 | ETEREO

Exterior & Research Considerations

Exterior Perspective

Important considerations based on cultural research:

Chile’s arid climate influences local architecture, favoring materials for temperature control, reliance on solar panels, and sturdy construction to withstand natural events.

Chilean culture prioritizes community and family bonds, hospitality, solidarity, modesty, pride, and loyalty.

Locally sourced materials are a major design component in Chile, and they are a top producer of copper in the world.

In Chile, it is common to eat a meal called “once” as their last meal of the day, replacing what we call dinner.

Concept & Design Intent

UNITY CREATIVITY PRODUCTIVITY

Transform is inspired by a composition painted by Jack Tworkov. “The Wheel” features a combination of balance, unity, texture, and calming colors. The colors of the painting that are used int his design subconsciously affect the user’s attitude and feelings in many psychologically positive ways. Repetition and lines in this piece inspire the means of wayfinding throughout this facility. This is done using wall panels, unique signage, and subtle patterns throughout the floors, walls, and ceilings. Balance is key to this design because a student will never be able to achieve their full potential when feeling uneasy. This composition is balanced with the use of positive and negative space. Balance will create an open and welcoming environment. Transform will be a simple, secure, yet inspiring work environment for anyone who enters. With human-centered design at the core of this concept, Transform is ready to take a deeper look into the lives of any student who enters, no matter the demographic.

Product Design - Portable Lamp

Inspired by an antique clock and our internal clocks, Circadia is designed to represent the correlation between time and circadian rhythm. Both of these components follow a constant cycle and allow us to know the time of day, whether it is based on time or the natural changes that occur within the human body in accordance with circadian rhythm. The antique wood texture of the clock gives a timeless appearance, and the shapes formed by tedious wood carving gravitate the eye towards the center of the piece where the clock and lamp are located. Integrating these two components allow for a perfectly balanced design that aids the user in recognizing the natural changes that happen in the body throughout the day.

The lamping wire will line the inside of the clock, rather than going through the top of the top to keep the antique wood in tact.

The hands on the clock are placed at 10:00 p.m., as that is the average bedtime in a typical circadian cycle.

The power cord is equipped with a on/off switch since the original switch is located inside the clock.

Energy efficient LED bulbs have a lifespan of 13.7 years and an estimated yearly cost of $0.36.

The original clock facade materials are utilized on the inside of the clock to keep the authenticity and support design concept.
