UT One-Stop Center SPRING 2019 // INSTRUCTOR // ALLISON GASKINS, MARLA SMITH, PARTNER// KATE LEYENDECKER The University of Texas at Austin is developing a One-stop center for campus enrollment services, where students can easily access the information and services they need-including registration,financial aid, student records, and more.

The One Stop Center is located on the ground floor of the UT Main Tower Building. Our design goal was to design a space in which student and staff were both able to interact in an effective and efficient manner while not overly changing the shell of the exciting building. One method was though a custom design railway made of casted black iron.

The iron gateway has a Spanish Mediterranean Revival style, channeling a similar style to the ironwork found on the original stairs and windows within the main building. The gateway was used to create a wall with several openings to create an easy flow that would lead students to waiting spaces and/or the reception desk.

Crescent Comics Bookstore FALL 2018 // INSTRUCTOR // NEREA FELIZ The Crescent Comics bookstore’s proposed location is an empty lot at The Crescent at Airport Blvd, Austin, TX 78752. The Crescent Comics bookstore overall is based on the intention of creating an environment where the customer felt immersed in the colorful word of superheroes. This was pushed through the use of textured materials such as clay, Porocom, and rubber flooring on all surrounding surfaces. The Bookshelf designs created in the first half of the semester were customized so that they could meld with the space. The self standing bookshelves act as black porous walls filled with books that would encase several intimate spaces. All bookshelves and furniture are primarily black with the bins and flooring being the only exception, appearing as colorful stipples against the black furniture and white walls.

‘The Outdoor Interior’ - Diorama SPRING 2018 // INSTRUCTOR // IGOR SIDDIQUI PARTNER // YU CAI

The Outdoor Interior Diorama creates an enormous space which creates the surreal. The view is of a history museum which contains taxidermy animals in giant crystals. In true scale, these cases would appear as space pockets containing pieces of other lands, of the animals’ natural habitats. These exhibits act as pieces of history that have been encased for learning generations. The Outdoor Interior Diorama is a personal response to how the exterior and interior boundaries could possibly blend together.

26

A set of collages done in response to the idea of the exterior and the interior blending together.

These collages served as inspiration for the final design of the ‘Outdoor Interior’ Diorama.

MISBHV Boutique

SPRING 2018 // INSTRUCTOR // IGOR SIDDIQUI The MISBHV Boutique is a boutique focused on MISBHV, a growing Polish fashion company. The boutique takes consideration of their fashion style while also incorporating the ideas of the Outdoor Interior processed earlier throughout the spring semester. The mannequins, along with taxidermy, can be found place on the store floor within crystal-like encasements, allowing the customers to view these unique designs in a way that connect with MISBHV’s style. A glossy dark purple finish coats all wall of the boutique, mimicking the walls of a wet cave while also allowing MISBHV’s flashy outfits to stand out. Textured steel covers the floor and the changing rooms acts of space pockets within the wall. These design choices made enhance the user’s experience and can impact their opinion of MISBHV. They create an environment that feels completely surreal and alien-like, perfect for the brand that is not afraid of being out of the ordinary.

Austin Reconciliation Center

FALL 2017 // INSTRUCTOR // MICHAEL BODUCH The Austin Reconciliation Center is an interior renovation of an existing: Carpenters Hall at 400 Josephine Street.

We were tasked to create a ‘place from which to speak’. The design goal formed was to create a space which fosters a reconciliation program. The Austin Reconciliation Center will be a space which will cocoon around the users and help create communication between an intimate group of people. The goal is to provide a sense of assurance to both parties. The Reconciliation space with take privacy into consideration while trying to let in a much natural light as possible. The Austin Reconciliation Center will also have a cafe which acts on its own and alongside it will be a research area in which the community can engage with to learn more about the program.

The roof contains five panels that rotate, controlling the amount of natural sunlight that enters the space, allowing the customers to that a refreshing experience.

Kaleidoscopic Scales

SPRING 2017 // INSTRUCTOR // TAMMY GLASS PARTNER // YU CAI The Kaleidoscopic Scales are an approach to the reuse of disposable materials, such as tiny crayon stubs and used zip ties, These two materials were re-purposed to create a art piece that can be used to accent any wall.

Application: Scales can be directly attached to walls with adhesive.

42

MOLDING PROCESS: The process begins with sorting out the crayon stub into color categories, then they are melted down. as the crayons are melting, lay out the used zip ties on parchment paper for easy peeling. Pour the colorful liquids in the shaped zipties and allow to cool.
