Hi, My name is Mohibbah Rahman and I am a junior at Thomas Jefferson University pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design with a minor in Sustainable Design. My approach to design is shaped by a lens of diversity and inclusivity, coupled with a keen awareness of human behavior. Throughout my time at Thomas Jefferson, I have honed my skills to create designs that cater to a broad spectrum of needs. One crucial lesson I’ve embraced is that aesthetics should not overshadow functionality in design. I am passionate about fostering collaborative work and consider myself a dedicated team player. As I continue my journey in the realm of interior design, I am committed to creating spaces that not only captivate visually but also enhance the lives of those who inhabit them.

Design 5 Fall 2023 Prof. Lisa Phillips Archived Work for CIDA Accreditation

“How can you use your skills as an interior designer to create a space that appeals to potential, modern consumers? How can you use your knowledge of space planning, detailing, materials, color and lighting to make this retail establishment a welcome addition in a district that is known for its chic charm?”

Zameen Se is a pottery store located in New Hope Pennsylvania created to bring diversity into the historical town. The space is inspired by the harmonious fusion of Western and Southeast Asian cultures not only in the design elements but also in the experiences created for the customers. The intent was to bring to embody the spirit of cultural collaboration and celebrate the beauty of diversity within the materials, displays, furniture choices and lighting fixtures.

Within the store there is a heavy focus on the natures of clay and the many organic forms that it can take to transform a space. The main feature is a curved wall that leads the customers through the space, symbolizing the gradual peeling away of cultural barriers, and creating an inviting atmosphere where the artistry and craftsmanship of both worlds can unite.

The third floor is the Studio Space.

Enclosed space allows customers to feel free to be creative.

On the second floor, customers can find mugs and culinary pottery for sale. The cafe space invites customers to sit, relax, and enjoy a cup of cofee or chai.

The main floor host the bulk of pottery up for sale, including larger and more expenive pieces.

RE-SET HUB

Design 5

Fall 2023 Prof. Lisa Phillips Partner: Moleena Hourn In Collaboration with Psychology students: Joy Tannous & Crystaljade Johnson

“You are tasked with designing a small hub on campus to educate students on stress reduction and selfcare. This space will be a unique opportunity, where users will be able to use its resources to understand better how they can manage their stress and promote wellbeing. The space will be a hub for empowerment and the fostering of a community of those with similar situations. How will you inspire tranquility and promote mental health?”

The ReSet Hub at Thomas Jefferson University emerges as a sanctuary dedicated to alleviating the burdens of stress for students. Inspired by the profound impact of self-awareness and positive habits on stress management, our design envisions a transformative environment fostering reflection, empowerment, and resilience. At the core of the ReSet Hub lies a purposeful arrangement of spaces, each strategically designed to address the four crucial behaviors essential for breaking the cycle of stress-related habits. The holistic approach aims to empower students with tools for self-reflection and equip them with actionable insights to manage stress effectively.

Dear Journal, I cracked the code today: time management. It's not about doing more; it's about doing what matters. Prioritizing tasks and setting realistic goals – suddenly, the mountain of work seems climbable.

All I need is within me right now

I have the power to make changes in my life

My Professor gaslit me into the thinking the test was going to be easy

My friends aren’t considerate of my struggles

I am strong and resilient

I will not focus on things I can not control I am independent and self-sufficient

Hey Journal, Small victories today. Took a deep breath before that midterm, and it made all the difference. It's like I'm learning to dance with stress instead of letting it lead. Maybe there's a rhythm to this chaos after all.

Hey there, I reached out to a friend about my struggles, and it turns out, I'm not alone. We formed a study group, shared our tips, and suddenly, the load feels lighter. It's amazing how support can transform stress into a collective challenge.

Hey Journal, Gratitude is my new secret weapon. Started a nightly ritual of listing three positive things from the day. It's surprising how this simple act is rewiring my brain to focus on the good, not just the overwhelming challenges.

Dear Journal, It's been a journey, but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Stress is no longer a foe but a companion in this college adventure.

Embracing the challenges, learning from failures, and growing stronger

“Select one of the methods of stress reduction designed in the first part of this project and build it as an installation on campus to be tested by students during reading week/the first week of exams. You are welcome to modify the design as you build mock test fits. Be sure to keep in mind how users will interact with the installation and how their stress will be tested and reduced through its use. “

“Embrace and Release” is a transformative stress-reducing installation conceived in response to the intense environment of finals week at Thomas Jefferson. Featuring a vibrant array of pillows on an abstract wall, each inscribed with positive affirmations, this innovative project invites active engagement from both students and faculty. Divided into two categories, calming blue pillows emit stress-reducing sounds like nature and low-fi music, creating a serene atmosphere, while yellow pillows, filled with tactile materials, serve as stress-relief tools. This installation not only acknowledges the emotional challenges of finals week but also provides a tangible and therapeutic outlet for the diverse needs of the community. By combining affirmations, calming sounds, and stress-relieving textures, “Embrace and Release” transforms its space into a haven for emotional well-being, fostering unity and resilience during heightened stress.

WRAPPED IN CARE Design 4 Spring 2023 Prof. Martha Anez In Collaboration with Occupational Therapy Student: Claire Ushay

“Philadelphia is partnering with a non-profit communitybased organization, Senior/Child Mentors, which serves both senior citizens (65+ yrs.) and school age pre-teens (5-12 yrs).

The organization’s philosophy is based on the concept “it takes a village to raise a child”.

The inspirationf for this project came from something that I would say to my parents which is as they get older I want to wrap them in “bubble wrap to keep them safe”. Wrapped in Care is inspired by my own experince growing up in a multigenerational home allowed me to experience how important interactions between seniors and children can be. These experiences in my life then inspired my conceptual models that capture embracing and protecting, I focused on creating a place that embraces seniors and children where they could feel safe and connected. While moments within the space feel closed off, they lead to an open space, alluding to the discovery of relationships children and seniors build once they get to know each other.

SERENE SOUND Design 4

Spring 2023

Prof. Martha Anez

“Your clients are two physicians who have partnered up to open their own medical office. Though they plan to serve all age demographics, they want to target young professionals creating a contemporary “place”. The space should be modern, using contemporary forms, colors, lighting and materials.”

Serene Sounds follows the journey of patients and professionals in the clinic, resembling how sound travels through space and into the ear canal. I was heavily inspired by the process by which sound is created and especially how others perceive sound. I took the opportunity in my design to show how sound travels and exists everywhere around us, interacts through materials, and the psychological effect it has on us. The intent behind my curved walls was to show the soft movement of sound bouncing from person to person, ultimately becoming a shared experience.

The hope is that the minute the patient steps into the clinic, they will feel a sense of familiarity being surrounded by a space that mimics the natural sound waves moving within the ear.

“Design an on-campus daycare for the children of faculty, staff and students. The SEED center has been designated for the new project. The mission of the daycare is to offer a unique learning and care experience for newborn to 4+ years children. Placing the facility on campus will ease the transportation and schedule challenges for both student and employees alike.”

SUSTAINABLE BUS STOP Adaptive and Resilient Design Studio Fall 2023 Graduate Level Course

Prof. Arpita Ganti

The overall objective for Project 1 is to design an outdoor or semi-outdoor space on the PhilaU campus at corner of Henry Ave and School House Lane. The corner is a high traffic route for pedestrians, who are mostly PhilaU students and faculty traveling to different parts of the campus.

There is also a bus stop on the corner. Vehicular traffic is heavy at times, and is sometimes dangerous. Henry Avenue is a busy four lane road that is congested during rush hours.

Roof Plan 1. Community garden that can grow either flowers or vegetables. The slope of the design allows for rainwater to trickle down into the garden.

2. Shade provided all over seating and standing area of the bus stop.

3. ADA compliance = comfortable area for them to sit, pavement around the entire bus stop so they can also experience all the views.

4. Digital monitor with speaker system powered by solar panels that provide pedestrians with alerts on when the bus is approaching.

5. Bike racks easily accessible for students
