INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN - KEZIA RANILLO

My name is Kezia Ranillo and I am an Interior Design student currently studying in Chicago. Prior to college, I grew up and lived in Oakland, California. I discovered my love for design and architecture in high school, where I had the opportunity to compete statewide for Interior Design through FCCLA, in which I placed 4th in California. I now attend Columbia College Chicago as a Dean’s List student and am working towards completing my Interior Architecture B.F.A.

As a designer, I have been deeply influenced by people like Bruce Mau and Jeanne Gang. Like them, I hope to create more spaces to bring people together while being simultaneously accessible and equitable. I hope to embrace unique and intentional designs, which celebrate the excitement of life within spaces.

DESIGN CONCEPT

A beehive is a strong, supportive structure with many different working parts and spaces for designated tasks. Beekeepers have developed this structure and just like manmade box hives, this design will feature easy wayfinding, intentional and translucent barriers, geometric structures, and modular features.

As people enter, the open layout will display the activity and buzz of the space and will encourage hands-on collaboration, learning, and experimentation.

Honeycomb

With this design, we hope to promote diversity and inclusion; we are equity-focused with hopes that everyone who passes through this space has the same inspirational experience. This space provides modular options to create semi-private spaces throughout the building to encourage authenticity and integrity within our team and subsequently build trust and confidence with one another.

Assimilate : A cultural exhibition, explores 4 main topics within the Asian acculturation to the melting pot of the US. These topics are:

1) Generating New Identities,

2) Challenging the “Model Minority” Label,

3) Origins and Ethnicities

4) Emerging Diversities.

The Pavillion Project

PROJECT 3 - THE PAVILLION PROJECT - Conceptual Storytelling

Anticipation: the expectation or prediction of something foreseen.

The emotion of anticipation lasts for varying lengths. It can be drawn out, abrupt, or it lingers as you take your mind off of it. My first iterations of this

pavilion depended on the transitional factor of the emotion. I wanted to create transitional space, like a walkway to represent it. But as I continued to

develop it, I realized that anticipation was minimal while complex, both happy and sad, and it wasnt as simple as i thought. It was dynamic with a hidden truth.

As I continued with this idea, I played with the triangle; it reminded me of the crescendo and decrescendo within music. For myself, I anticipate the build

of the crescendo and where it might take me… an abrupt stop? A mellow finish? The anticipation leaves me on the edge of my seat as the song finishes.

PROJECT 3 - THE PAVILLION PROJECT - Sketching and Sketch Models

As you can see in my draft models, I eventually decided on three different spaces for my pavilion; an entryway to build the suspense, a middle chamber to invoke contemplation and prediction, and the light at the end of the tunnel, to show hopelessness and maybe… hope.

Approach

As the viewer approaches, the smell of grass engulfs them as the surrounding is a grass terrain. Grass is a multi facetted greenary that could mean anything, envoking mystery

and anticipation as they get closer. The first thing that draws the viewer to the pavillion from afar is the center pyramid. This pyramid is made out of a one way mirror; on the

exterior it reflects its environment; the trees, people, sky, and clouds. This interest draws the observer closer and they cant help but be interested on what might be inside.

Circulation Plan

As guests move through the space, the circulation is quite straight forward. Its open on both sides, and becomes a passageway and forms a physical extension of the space.

Floorplan

As you enter the main chamber the floor changes and you are guided by a walkway. This walkway is made of highly reflective steel, to match the facade as well as create a mysterious acoustic sound effect as viewers can here the click of every heel that meets the path. This causes a sense of curiousity and reflection.

As they enter the threshhold, they pass through the skeleton of triangles that slowly leads them to a small opening.

This entry way showcases movement and easy wayfinding to the viewer as the triangles start larger and gradually decrease, guiding them along the path.

The path they follow is linear, walking guests through the sequence as they make their way.

Axonometric

Parallel to walk, above their head is a slit in the structure to let in light. This feature could also be used for wayfinding. You‘ll notice that all the edges of the planes don’t touch, representing

anticipation as a transitional emotion, as there is a possibility of an end in sight but not guaranteed. The viewer soon realizes the reflective box isnt as exciting as they had hoped, because all

they see are just windows to the outside world. This dissatisfaction causes them to cross the threshold to the final stage.

PROJECT 3 - THE PAVILLION PROJECT - Perspective and Final Model

Perspective

As guests follow the straight pathway through the chamber, they are let out to an amphitheaterlike area. As the viewer looks around wondering what awe they

might be struck with, they might be a bit confused or let down by the absence of excitement. But as the viewer takes one last sigh from their adventure they

take a seat and what they see next… is something they hadn’t anticipated from the beginning. The anticipation, wasn’t just that -it was hope.

Final Model
