"HOW MIGHT WE RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT PREVENTIVE CARE AND MAKE THE HEALTHCARE EXPERIENCE MORE AUTHENTIC, MINDFUL, AND VALUABLE FOR ALL USERS THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE AND INTUITIVE DESIGN THAT FOCUSES ON PROMOTING WELLNESS?"

Leading a fast-paced life in an active city like Chicago, with increasing work and family responsibilities may often compromise or understate the importance of health and wellbeing. Through a comprehensive and intuitive design that focuses on promoting wellness, “Equilibrium” will become a powerful reminder to achieve the perfect balance in life, raising awareness about preventive care by making the healthcare experience more mindful and valuable for all users.

"DUALITY" REFERS TO THE CONNECTION OR BOND BETWEEN TWO OPPOSING IDEAS OR CONCEPTS, MEANING THAT DESPITE BEING CONTRADICTORY THEY CAN COEXIST TOGETHER AS ONE IN PERFECT BALANCE.

PROJECT BRIEF: Residential design for Marina Silva, a high-profile environmental activist and politician from Brazil. The goal is to transform a previously bought vacation home into a creative retreat, where she can decompress from work and seek inspiration for future projects. The result should reflect a small getaway, where she and her family can enjoy the peace and tranquility provided by the surrounding nature.

MARINA PERFECTLY EMBODIES THE CONCEPT OF "DUALITY", AS HER LIFE EXPERIENCES HAVE SHAPED HER INTO A MULTIFACETED INDIVIDUAL WITH A FREE SPIRIT AND NUMEROUS LAYERS TO HER PERSONALITY. FLOOR PLAN: Marina Silva's continuous efforts to defend the Amazon Forest, and determination to advocate for other environmental issues, made her one of the most influential women in the world. Besides leading numerous initiatives demanding social justice for the Amazon forest and its people, she also ran for president in 2010 and then again in 2014, under an independent political party she founded named the “sustainability network". Today, at 62 years old, Marina has become Brazil’s

PROJECT BRIEF: Choosing a hotel lobby as the venue for this project was meant to reference Haiti’s recent efforts towards increasing tourism. Developing this industry would not only stimulate the economy and improve living standards, but it would also give the city and people of Port-auPrince positive visibility, eradicating the stigma of being a Humanitarian destination and fostering a sense of pride and belonging within the local population.
