P1: INTEGRATED HEALTH CENTER

CONDITION ASSESSMENT: FYBROMYALGIA Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibrmyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals.

Possible Causes: genetics, physical trauma, surgery, infection, significant psychological stress *Women are much more likely to develop fibromyalgia than are men.

EFFECTS ON BODY SYSTEMS Widespread pain. Constant dull ache lasting for at least three months on both sides of the body, above and below the waist.

Fatigue. Often awaken tired. Sleep disruption or disorders.

Cognitive difficulties. Inability to focus on mental tasks.

Other problems. May also experience depression, headaches, TMJ, and pain or cramping in the lower abdomen.

DIAGNOSIS Patient exhibits tenderness in 11 of 18 identified trigger points

Trigger Point Complex Trigger Points (a) close to the center of the muscle fibre and (b) in microscopic detail shoping how sarcomeres of the involved fibres are longer and thinner than those of uninvolved fibres.

Tender Points, Trigger Points or “Fibro� Spots

Fibromyalgia Treatment Options

TREATMENTS Medication: Pain relievers Antidepressants Anti-seizure drugs Self-care: Reduce stress Get enough sleep Exercise regularly Pace yourself Maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Alternative Options: Acupuncture Massage therapy Yoga and tai chi Counseling Therapy Support Groups

Massage therapy was rated the best fibromyalgia treatment option by patients.

Benefits include: • Increased blood circulation to muscles, allowing for faster muscle repair • increased flexibility • Increased range of motion • decreased stress and depression • Reduced pain • Reduced stiffness • Improved sleep patterns

(Right) Static Pressure and Pin and Stress methods

MUSEUM STUDY

National Academy Museum: 1083 Fifth Avenue - New York Galleries/Collections: The National Academy Museum holds one of the world’s largest collections of American art. Housed in an historic townhouse on 5th Avenue, the Museum’s permanent collection is comprised entirely of artist-donated works. The body of the Museum’s work—over 7,000 pieces—has been collectively built by the nation’s most prominent artists and architects.

Current Exhibitions: • Miriam Schapiro, A Visionary • An American Collection • Method Order Metric • Contemporary Highlights from the Collection

Analysis: The National Academy Museum attempts to feature the work of their students through the years. It is a beautiful space which, unfortunately competes with the art and the curators failed to assemble and feature the art in a way that draws the public there. Instead, one leaves confused and uninspired.

Successes: • The space itself is beautiful • John Portman Gallery (Method Order Metric Exhibition) keeps presentation simple and puts sculptures at eye level

Failures:

• Reception focuses on donors rather than art • Space/elaborate finishes often compete with the art - and win • Organization of art is not clear and some galleries do not mark or explain the pieces • Other art is not at eye level and explanations are too wordy and uninteresting • Wall colors are poorly chosen and don’t feature the art • Quality of lighting is chunky and poorly directed; does not utilize natural lighting to its benefit • Spaces are not always contiguous making galleries feel disconnected • Feature art (e.g. Louise Bourgeois) is hidden in back gallery. There is no anticipation for content of the next space

NEUE GALERIES: 1048 Fifth Avenue - New York Galleries/Collections: The collection includes painting, sculpture, works on paper, decorative arts, and photographs created in Austria and Germany 1890 -1940. Austrian material emphasizes the relationship between fine and decorative arts in Vienna circa 1900. German art focuses on important movements of the early 20th century

Analysis: Everything the Neue Galeries does intentionally highlights the art in the simplest of ways.

It does not over explain, but explains enough. Instead of letting the space overwhelm the art, it uses the space to feature the art.

Successes: • There is a “buzz” of people waiting to get in that creates curiosity • The entrance is grand and inviting - makes good use of interior features • Organization of the art is fascinating; grouping pieces together by similarities in content and style • Explanations of exhibitions are simple, informative and well written, giving readers insight into intent, influences and inspiration • Color and lighting choices are bold and impeccable

Failures: • Photos are prohibited, as are children, and the exhibits are not interactive.

Exhibition Flow Diagram

Exhibiting examples of Japanese Wari Modoshi technique from various artists alongside one another. Focus will be on understanding the technique itself and how it is carried out in different ways and with different mediums.

As a result of visiting several museums, the most successful characteristics that aligned with th`e design goals for the Noguchi Annex will be intentionally curated as follows: • Creating curiousity from the exterior of the building • Inviting entrance with a well marked and logical flow through the space • Minimal Explanation on object identification cards • Well written, succinct and engaging explanation board(s) to introduce the technique • Various display methods employed: hanging from ceiling, hanging on wall, vitrine and floor display

DETAIL: JOINT STUDY Study 1

Study 2

Study 3

Practical study to understand the process of joining cement (or ferrock) with glass.

• Study 1 joined materials at face of concrete with a peg through a drilled hole in the glassplanation on object identification cards • Study 2 explored glass placed in a concrete groove • Study 3 involved laying glass flush between notched concrete at each side.

• Study 4 embedded glass in concrete as concrete was poured between shaped glass set in a bed of sand with a wooden form around it.

Study 4: Chosen for final joint study with actual materials

Trial 1: Failure Concrete too thin and not reinforced

Trial 2: Success: Concrete laid thicker and reinforced with stiiff metal wire

Final Model

Results and Learnings: • Various levels of rough vs. smooth finsh can be accomplished with troweling or different form materials • Concrete works better in compression rather than tension. Therefore it must be reinforced with stiff wire or steel when used in compression and joining corners • To embed glass, concrete must be thicker and wrap around the edge.

• Accomplishing a consistent finish requires skill and experience.
