Fashion Designer Maker Space

My focus was on creating a Library of Practice dedicated to fashion designers, exploring the essence of libraries and their potential evolution. I progressed through stages of creative analysis, thorough research, and a deep dive into existing interior spaces within the fashion field. Grounded in the needs of individuals, including their physicality, values, and surroundings, I developed a design that synthesized all collected research. This approach allowed me to craft a space specifically tailored to support the practices of fashion designers effectively.

Food Hall

Gathering is more than just a physical act; it's a social ritual where individuals come together to share stories, connect, and relate to one another. In this communal space, a food hall is crafted to celebrate the diversity of cultures, recognizing that while each culture is unique, they share a common thread: herbs. These aromatic treasures serve as a universal language, allowing cultures to communicate and express their distinct identities. Within this food hall, each vendor represents a different culture, showcasing their unique blend of herbs and spices in their dishes, fostering a flavorful dialogue that unties people.

Adaptive Reuse

Crafting an adaptive reuse strategy for the Alliance North Lincoln School involves repurposing the existing building for a new function. This approach requires a delicate blend of innovation and preservation, aiming to integrate new elements while respecting the original structure's character. Through research, I choose to transform the space into a winery. As a class, we collaborated to produce HABS drawings of the entire N th Li l S h l d ti it hi t i l i ifi

North Lincoln School was built in 1914. It holds an incredible amount of memories that will be cherished for years to come The history of the school lives on through the worn in flooring, desk + chairs flooding the classrooms, and weathered signs You can tell North Lincoln School was loved and is where thousands of children learned life lessons that they will carry with them forever.

This project addresses the survivors of police torture in Chicago and historic legislation that granted reparations to survivors of police torture, and Chicago Torture Justice Center was born from it. The Chicago Torture Justice Center is part of a broader movement committed to ending all forms of police and state violence both direct and indirect. The CTJC wants to be a hub for community engagement, interaction, and information dissemination. CTJC provides a place of healing, healing cannot happen unless we dismantle power structures that create generations of ongoing trauma, organized abandonment/disinvestment, and state sanctioned violence.

One Minute

by Alexandra Antoine and Braden Wyatt

“There is no power in fear, or in any of the activities that are generated by fear. There is no power in a thought form of fear, even if it is supported by armies” (210).

Empowerment

Journey to rediscovery power

“Universal truth is where our true power resides.”

Actively engaging will reveal the truth of individual’s stories and the power will turn to them as you read the names of those who lost there lives to Chicago Police Violence.

The space provides a safe environment where survivors of racialized police violence can get support in their healing process. This space promotes personal growth and empowerment within each survivors journey. Individuals can transform in the space starting from within and with encouragement of the community around them. The healing process is not linear and will continually be on going, but getting the inner strength to want to heal is the sense of power that needs to be recognized The space is where survivors can embark on their journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and growth through storytelling.

Focusing on the journey of each individual, empowers their story of self identity and growth.

The formal storytelling space stands as a memorial for those lost to radicalized police violence, offering a sanctuary for remembrance and contemplation. Engraved on a flowing wooden structure within the space are the names of the departed, visible to those outside but fully understood only upon entering. Transitioning seamlessly as it becomes a ceiling element that guides into the informal storytelling area, this space provides individuals with a quiet moment for personal reflection Here, survivors come together, fostering connections and collective reflection, fostering a sense of community and support.
