Charlestown is community guided. The PLAN’s neighborhood-wide geography, inclusion of the Needs Assessment chapter, and focus on neighborhood services were all a result of advocacy from residents.

Community engagements varied in size and style throughout various phases of the planning process, and included an advisory group of neighborhood residents, public meetings and workshops, informal engagements like walking tours and office hours, and intensive engagement phases with many community events sponsored by other organizations. The live events were also supplemented with surveys, online story maps, and a comic book, to help reach a broader audience.

EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS 5 Austin Stre et in Cha rlestown, Boston The site is closely connected to existing utilities and infrastructure, such as water, sewer, and electrical systems. The condition of these services and their capacity will be essential in the planning and design process to ensure the project’s sustainability and functionality. 5 Austin Street is surrounded by diverse communities, each with its own needs and expectations.

Engaging with local residents, businesses, and institutions is vital to align the development with the existing community fabric and to address concerns or requirements that may arise. The existing site benefits from proximity to transportation infrastructure, including major roads, public transit options, and pedestrian pathways. These factors will influence the site’s accessibility and impact decisions about parking facilities, bike lanes, and public transportation integration.

RUTHERFORD RESTRICTIONS

3 1

The Sullivan Square and Rutherford Avenue areas today are mostly industrial. Large, low, masonry and metal buildings are surrounded by surface parking lots and streets without sidewalks or trees. Major infrastructure surrounds the geography, including the elevated Interstate, the MBTA rail lines, the Mystic River, and Rutherford Avenue. These built elements are not compatible with the small, residential fabric of Charlestown’s core, but can coexist with larger, mixed-use buildings.

LILY WILKERSON ACADEMIC/NON-ACADEMIC PORTFOLIO

In this project, I completed the design of a Wellness Center in Downtown Lawrence. Wellness Centers are a part of healthcare delivery that focus on holistic and preventive care and serve a significant community function. They promote active and health-conscious lifestyles and self care. This center will include spaces for improving physical, mental, and spiritual wellness. The site is the corner plot (2 plots combined) located northeast of the intersection of Massachusetts Street and 11 th Street in Downtown Lawrence, KS. Site dimensions are 115’ x 115’. The design should enhance pedestrian-friendly active urban life in Downtown Lawrence, and thus the building form, elevations, and street level functions should be catalysts for lively city life. The alleyway should not be simply disregarded as a service access. Downtown Lawrence has a continuous urban edge/wall, and the intersection of the Mass and 11 th Streets creates an important urban node. These urban traits were considered in the design.

An advanced studio with an emphasis given to the student’s demonstration of integration of all previously learned design skills. These include program analysis, space configuration, formal design composition, structure, materials and methods of construction, technical development of interior spaces, environmental systems, lighting design, acoustics, code and regulation compliance, and principles of sustainability. Students should also demonstrate an appropriate awareness of history, theory, and culture of the given context. The level of project development should be demonstrated by technically precise drawings and well-researched written documentation in additional to other means of representation. Students work in groups and with professional consultants

THE TASK

THE PALM JUMEIRAH

As designers, we have been introduced to WA, an international and luxurious hotel chain. WA has unique hotels that look different from location to location unlike many hotel chains. After receiving the core and shell, we as interiors began to develop a concept, goals, programming and design ideas reflective of WA’s vision.

• Man made island designed by Nakheel - Real Estate Co. • Construction started in 2006 • The island is made up of its trunk, spine, fronds and crescent • Apartments and retail located within the trunk and fronds • Hotels and resorts are located on the crescents (10.5 miles long)

THE SITE 31 CRESCENT RD

LOCATION ON THE PALM Along the coast you can travel North from the island to Downtown Dubai. Traveling further south will take you to Abu Dhabi. To reach our site from the airport, one will have to travel through the palm via vehicle or via ferry from the pier.

RAHA | in the arabic origin, means peace of mind; rest; and comfort “Raha is a space where all users can experience wellness; a state of complete physical, mental and social well being. The design of each space encouraging users to make choices toward a successful existence. With attention to the care and comfort of anyone who walks through the door, users will find a sense of calmness through the harmony of all the working elements in the hotel.”

In the first 1/3 of the semester, students will work in teams to re-design a real- life space to create a state-of-the-art, technology-focused production studio suite in Marvin Hall. In the next 2/3 of the semester, students will choose of a project of self-interest, keeping career goals and design preferences in mind. Throughout the semester, students will apply advanced methods of design process, visual narratives, technical documentation, and presentation skills

IA 509 DESIGN-BUILD REI DESIGN OFFICE

CONCEPT When developing a concept for the design office I reflected on the vision of REI. This was when I looked deeper into the outdoors and how the elements complement one another. Some are rigid, like the mountains. And some are soft, like the waters. Considering these elements I wanted the plan of the office to express the wild. wild Meeting curved elements with rigid and leaving an open plan for users to flow effortlessly.

Providing a place for productivity, creation and sustainable choices.

When considering a design challenge in my living space, I found my need for somewhere to hang my necklaces and other jewelry as top priority. The products, oils and other residues on my bathroom countertop began to change the color of my silver jewelry. By creating a piece to not only store them, but display them I was able to solve my design challenge. Through the use of joint connections and proper wood cuts, a display space is created and jewelry becomes untangled. Separations are created between items allowing for special attention to certain accessories.During the construction process of my jewelry stand I was able to expand my knowledge on wood work. through the use of new machines, joint connections, and hand carving I broadened my knowledge while pushing my project further.

Most Innovative Herman Miller Magis Puppy Design Term| Fall 2021 Professor| Ann Hossler Team Members| Andrew Pottinger, Luis Cardoza, Alexis Nichols, Katie Basta, Emily Gegg, Sophia Jones, Kaitlin Salinski, Amelia Fager

On November 11, 2021, John A. Marshall Co. and Herman Miller co-hosted the Magis Puppy Design Challenge in our Lenexa showroom. Nine teams from local A&D firms had one month to utilize their skills to create unique pieces of art utilizing a Magis puppy sculpture. The puppies were then entered into a competition to earn four distinct awards. An anonymous panel of judges, all within creative fields themselves, evaluated the entries to determine the winner for the coveted Best in Show Award. Our design “Marvin” won Most Innovative Design. The bones were made with polymer modeling clay, the insides were completed with different mediums of yarn and spraypaint, and the collar was made using a 3D printer.

Outside of school, you may find me with a camera in hand.

Photography has been a passion of mine since I was a young girl.

As I got older I began to explore more with freelance work and doing paid photoshoots. Utilizing digital cameras, I explored with Sony first and then purchased my own Canon Rebel T7. During my time at the university, I enrolled in Digital Photography Foundations to further my knowledge and work capabilities.

Southern Europe KU Study Abroad During the summer after my third year in school, I spent two weeks abroad for the Southern Europe program. While abroad I traveled through Portugal and Spain to a few different cities to tour some of the most beautiful churches, castles and fortresses. Some of the places we visited consisted of: Lisbon, Sintra, Seville, Granada, Cordoba, Madrid and Toledo. I made this program choice based on some of my studies throughout my first few years in the program as the destinations were part of my learning. Having the ability to put myself in front of these buildings allowed for my education to come full circle. A few of the places that drew my attention the most were Alhambra, Monserrate Palace and Gardens, Medina Azahara and The Royal Palace in Madrid.
