MULTIPURPOSE SPACE

The outdoor stage with floor cushions to make for a comfortable space. This space can be for big buest speakers to talk about their experiences being a part of the LGBTQ+ community. This space can also hold music events from artists who are members of the community.

09 WORKPLACE DESIGN STUDIO The Zussman Building 311 Elm Street, Cincinnati OH, I chose Stantec as my workplace of choice when designing this project specificall in their Denver office location. S t a n t e c va l u e s c o m m u n i ty w i t h i n t h e i r office, the clients they work with and most importantly the places they serve. Bringing that aspect from their Denver location to Cincinnati, I created organic forms because it is an inviting design that I feel can make a s p a c e f e e l l i k e a c o m m u n i ty . T h e s e organic forms are als0 seen in their logo. T h e C o n c e p t D i a g ra m s r e p r e s e n t s h ow e a c h f l o o r l ay e rs ov e r e a c h o t h e r c r e a t i n g a n o r g a n i c a n d o p e n s p a c e a l l ow i n g f o r m o r e s e n s e o f c o m m u n i ty w i t h in Stantec. These curves disrupt its’ e x i s t i n g sy m m e t r i c a l f l o o r p l a n a n d adpats to the column grid; this is an i m p o r t a n t t ra i t t h a t S t a n t e c h a s , t h e y like to take risks and get creative with all of their projects.
