Brandt, Burton Jeffares

Do you have any plans after this semester?

Work on a personal project during break, apply for internships What type of designer would you like to be?

I would like to deal with historic preservation projects, or residential/hospitality settings Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

I ran into problems in the studio when given little feedback. I had to really try to design for a client with no client input, which was a change in the studio environment compared to the previous years. My work/life balance this semester was really unhealthy this semester because of the amount of stress I dealt with - studio enhanced or not.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I would love to do a smaller residential space, or a set of homes/development (something smaller than 10,000 sf ).

What do you think makes a good workplace?

I think comfortability and community makes a good workplace.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

Basing your design off of the research of your client or ideal user of the space.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I learned about the type of worker I am, and what type of boss I’d like to work under one day. I learned that in order for me to be productive, I need to be fully immersed and passionate about the project I’m working on.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

I would tell future students to take care of themselves, stressing yourself out too much isn’t worth it...you’ll be okay :) 22

Brighton, Blakely Anne

Do you have any plans after this semester?

I plan to secure an internship and stay focused on my path to graduation.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I aspire to be a versatile designer, creating impactful spaces in both residential and commercial design.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

This semester was a significant transition into the professional program, bringing more pressure and responsibility, but those challenges helped me grow as a designer and person.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I’d like to explore residential design next, as my studio journey has primarily focused on commercial spaces, which I love, but I’m eager to dive into the residential side of design as well.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

A good workplace fosters comfort, openness, and collaboration, creating an environment that inspires and motivates employees.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

To me, evidence-based design involves using research and data to create spaces that are functional, support user needs, and enhance health and well-being.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

This semester taught me to trust my design process while thinking more technically from the start, significantly boosting my confidence as a designer. I also gained a deeper understanding of building systems and how construction documents bring a project to life.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

You will get through it just like you always do! Just manage your time well and trust yourself.

The design for NEXT’s expansion into Chicago's Fulton Market seeks to establish a vibrant and collaborative workspace that embodies the agency’s core values of creativity, innovation, and growth. It aims to support a hybrid working model, accommodating both in-office and remote staff, while cultivating a sense of community. The layout will integrate flexible spaces for individual work and team collaboration, ensuring diversity, equity, inclusion, and sustainability are prioritized. The workspace will encourage employees to express their individuality and feel inspired to bring their full selves to work. The design will reflect the creative and youthful spirit of NEXT's team, enhancing the agency's edgy and culturally attuned brand image.

Fulton Market's shift from a meatpacking district to a cultural hub reflects its adaptability and reinvention. The area attracted artists and musicians due to affordable, spacious warehouses, influenced by the cultural influx during the Great Migration, which helped shape the Chicago Blues.

NEXT's workspace design draws on this evolution by combining industrial aesthetics with flexible, open layouts to promote creativity. Music-inspired features, blue accents, and rugged elements create a dynamic environment that celebrates Chicago's cultural legacy while embodying NEXT's innovative spirit.

This approach results in a vibrant space that underscores the city's ongoing artistic impact.

Bic revolutionized access to writing tools by significantly lowering the price of pens, dropping from the equivalent of $190 to just $2 today.

This made writing instruments affordable for people across various socio-economic backgrounds, contributing to an increase in global literacy rates from 12% to 90%. The affordability and simplicity of Bic pens democratized education and self-expression, allowing people from all walks of life to engage in writing and communication, profoundly impacting society.

Brobston, Parker Grace

Do you have any plans after this semester?

After this semester, I plan to complete an internship, preferably in a set design field, and then continue my education.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I would like to work in themed or set design. I want to bring people joy with the spaces I create.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

There were issues with communication throughout the studio, due to the differing expectations between instructors.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I would like to design sets for productions, or a themed hotel or restaurant.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

I think having different levels of privacy allows for people to communicate well, but also gives people a space to do their work with minimal distraction makes for a good workspace.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

Evidence based design is designing for the wellbeing of your client, and using evidence to make the best possible decisions.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I learned a lot about construction documents. I found them to be a new challenge for me, and it was interesting to figure out.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

Work on your time management skills before this year, you will need them!

This space took historical precedent from the Lever House, through its emphasis on employee well being. This was done through ensuring all employees has access to natural light, and creating curved, height adjustable desks to allow for maximum employee comfort. This design drew inspiration heavily through symmetry. The 6th floor is almost perfectly symmetrical, while the 7th floor has very similar masses that create symmetry in the plan.

Brown, Isabella Do you have any plans after this semester?

My plans for after this semester will be going back home to my family, while interning at an architecture firm in my hometown.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I aspire to be a designer who blends creativity with practicality, focusing on creating spaces that are both visually captivating and purposeful. My goal is to integrate technology with design in a way that enhances functionality and user experience. I want to work on projects that address global challenges, like climate change and social equity, through innovative and responsible design solutions.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

One of the biggest challenges I encountered this semester was maintaining focus on the big picture while handling small design details. I often found myself getting caught up in perfecting individual elements, which caused delays in completing tasks. Managing my time more efficiently and trusting the iterative process helped me address this issue, but it’s still something I continue to work on.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I would love to design a hotel or restaurant that focuses on comfort and atmosphere. For the hotel, I’d create a calming, eco-friendly environment, while for the restaurant, I’d focus on a space that encourages both socializing and intimacy, enhancing the dining experience through thoughtful design.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

A good workplace is one where creativity can flourish, but there’s also room for introspection and individual growth. It should encourage diversity of thought and background, and provide support for employees’ mental well-being with comfortable environments and flexible working arrangements.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

Evidence-based design is about integrating real-world data to create spaces that are not only aesthetically appealing but also scientifically proven to meet the needs of users. It’s about making informed design decisions that are grounded in research and real-life outcomes.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

This semester taught me the importance of adaptability. I had to pivot and revise my ideas more than I expected, but each iteration helped me refine my design thinking. I also grew in my ability to communicate complex design concepts in a way that’s accessible to others, whether it’s through sketches, models, or presentations.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

I would recommend embracing failure as part of the learning process. The journey is as valuable as the final product, and often you learn the most from things that don’t go as planned.

BRAND POP-UP PERSPECTIVE

Callaway, Claire Madeline Do you have any plans after this semester?

I will be at home in Austin and looking to find a summer 2025 internship!

What type of designer would you like to be?

I have always been very interested in commercial design. I am working towards a Hospitality Management minor and would love to explore restaurant, retail, and hotel design. I loved working on workplace design this semester though, and am open to any sector of commercial design.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

Managing studio, my social life, and my mental health is always a big challenge, but I think I improved at balancing everything this semester.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I would love to design a restaurant. I got a little taste of it with the branded pop-up space in this project, but would love to do a full project like that.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

When I think about a good workplace, I think about our studio environment and what makes it successful. The open, close-knit environment allows everyone to bond and collaborate, and the opportunities we have within class to take breaks and de-stress are essential to keeping us happy and healthy.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

To me, evidence-based design means researching facts and precedents to see what does and doesn’t work for people.

Your findings should influence your designs and help improve them for the better.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

This is the first semester that I have truly loved a project and felt so passionate about it. I learned that I really enjoyed commercial design, and I really love construction documents. Being able to complete a project from research through construction docs was very beneficial for my understanding of design.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

This semester is challenging but can be so rewarding if you put your all into your work!

THE NEST

811 West Fulton Market in Chicago, IL is the home of the newest branch of the NEXT Global Advertising Agency. We have been tasked with designing their office space to reect their needs and company goals. We are utilizing the 6th and 7th oors of this building which is approximately 16,000 square feet. The NEXT team is looking for a space that supports their work, enhances teammate collaboration, and becomes a place where people are proud to invite their clients to. They want the space to consider wellbeing in a holistic way, considering physical, emotional, and cognitive needs.

They are interested in uid, modular spaces that can adapt easily, as well as many different types of working areas to increase trust and community. They also are focused on connecting hybrid and in-office work seamlessly. They have 42 employees and want spaces for 3 visitors. They are looking for a wide variety of space types which will help the workplace feel less sterile and create a more productive and welcoming environment. They want the space to have a mix of individual and group spaces and a mix of open, shielded, and enclosed spaces.

Wieden+Kennedy Case Study

NEXT Global Adverstising 811 W Fulton Market, Chicago, IL

In what ways does the company innovate at the intersection of advertising, digital, and brand strategy?

W+K’s marketing strategy involves all realms of advertising. They aim to create a well-rounded, full brand image for their clients. They focus on experimentation and strive to test the limits of new technology. They also jump on and reect culture at unprecedented speeds, which they have executed very well for McDonald’s. W+K has done a lot of advertising work for McDonald’s and helps with everything from billboards to TV to social media to brand re-imagining.

ADAPTABILITY

Is there a way they facilitate an environment in which team members can bring their whole selves to work and produce breakthrough ideas?

The way W+K chooses to facilitate this type of environment is to not restrict their employees. They are allowed to walk about, take brain breaks, rest, read books, play a game or two, and collaborate with others throughout the office every day. The architecture of their offices is also very open and transparent to not hold employees back and give them a space where they have no limits.

How do they produce brand impact for our clients throughout the entire creative process, starting with strategy and ending with execution?

In 2019, McDonald’s named Wieden+Kennedy as the lead creative agency for its U.S. business, the largest market in the McDonald’s system. This partnership has helped transform McDonald’s brand perception from very rigid and corporate, to more fun and lively. Their marketing strategy has been a focus on product innovation and customer satisfaction. This has shifted from a past focus on numbers and selling products. Like most brands in recent times, they have been focusing on pop culture and gen z to guide their vision. They produce many collaborations with celebrities which creates large amounts of excitement, anticipation, and buzz for their brand. They also have tried to be funny and self-depricating at times which makes McDonald’s seem more human and charming to consumers.

Criteria & Adjacency Matrix

What are the ways in which they increase employee well-being, experience, engagement, and collaboration?

The W+K locations are very focused on employee well being and collaboration. Their offices include a multitude of different size gathering spaces with different privacy levels from individual desks to small booth tables to large stadium seating.

This allows employees to choose how they want to work and how much they want to engage with others at any given moment.

They also include rest spots with couches and books as well as an area with games like ping pong for employees to decompress.

They use a lot of glass walls in their spaces to increase transparency, trust, and collaboration

NEXT has become a lifelong advertising partner of McDonald’s, whose global headquarters is only a few blocks away. Through my case study, it’s evident that Mcdonald’s and NEXT have similar ideas and brand goals, which makes their partnership strong. They both focus on an investment in technology and strong community values to enhance our lives. Within the NEXT space, the McDonald’s pop-up hosts a brand new robotic burger vending machine, created by McDonald’s, that makes burgers with no human help.

Spaces were separated while thinking about public use vs privacy as well as focus work vs office amenities. Busy, collaborative spaces such as the Work Cafe, Large Meeting Space, Activity Room, and Client Presentation were kept to the 6th oor. These more public spaces were placed on the 6th oor to be close to reception, who would be checking all visitors and clients in. The more private, focus work areas such as the Workstations, Huddle Spaces, Private Offices, and Privacy Pods, were all consolated to the 7th oor. This was done in order to keep the employees safe and out of eyes from visitors as well as help build strong community between the different teams.

s

What are the ways in which they leverage creativity through their work to inuence change and impact culture?

After Covid hit the world, everything changed, and the period of self reection led Wieden+Kennedy to adapt their purpose. They strive to use their voice and inuence to change the world, shifting their mindset from being dened by what they make to being dened by their impact. They have been seeking more purpose-driven opportunities to create for and want to seek out more sustainability-focused work. By shifting their focus to these goals, they are able to shift their creativity focus and help inuence others to also think sustainably with their advertising.

Total Employees: 42 Total Square Feet: 16,000 (8,000 Each Floor)

In what ways do they encourage cross-functional collaboration and cross-generational mentoring?

In their Portland and NYC offices, they include large stadium seating which can be used for many different types of collaboration. Employees can relax or have one on one meetings there as well as hold large gatherings and assemblies in the space. The different zones and types of spaces also help encourgae cross generational mentoring. Because no one is forced to sit at their own desk by themselves all day, employees are able to meet new people every day and collaborate with people of all ages and job titles.

THE NEST

Community in its best form allows people to feel safe and secure in their environment. Whether working alone or together, people need a strong community to perform their best. A design that considers wellbeing and health allows for this strong community to ourish.

The design concept, Nest, represents the creation of a space where community, adaptability, transparency, and innovation converge to foster a positive, collbaorative, and productive environment for employees. Summarizing these elements, in a holistic design approach, along with a strong consideration of personal wellbeing, spawned the creation of the idea of creating a “nest-like” workspace environment. Similar to the growth of birds in a nest, the concept for NEXT’s new Chicago office, aims to foster comfort, growth, and connection within its employees.

Adaptability of spaces and furniture is key in order to support different work personas and inclusivity of all people no matter their needs.

OPEN + ENCLOSED

TRANSPARENCY

Transparency means no secrecy or exclusion between groups of people. Literally and guratively, open office layouts can drastically improve a work community, trust, and collaboration.

BRAIDING DIGITAL + PHYSICAL

INNOVATION

Innovation of technology is essential for the connection between remote and in-office employees. It also entails nding new ways to improve employee wellbeing and production.

Almost all spaces throughout the building have direct access to natural light through the curtain walls and exisiting windows. The most important areas on the 6th oor, the Work Cafe, Large Assembly Space, and Wellness Room, are all along the east wall which supplies them with ample direct light in the mornings. Similarly on the 7th oor, the workstations are lining the exterior windows which supplies them with direct and indirect light throughout the entire day. Harsh lighting should only be a concern in the early mornings when the sun is low, but will be combated with retractable shades.

This holistic approach to design ensures that employees feel safe, supported, and empowered in their workspace. By prioritizing both physical and emotional wellbeing, the design allows individuals to perform at their best, while also supporting collaboration and inclusivity across diverse teams. Through biophilic elements, colors, and materials, Nest is emphasized in its aesthetics as well.

THE NEST

Central to this vision is the adaptability of spaces and furniture. Nest encourages exibility to cater to various work personas, allowing employees to seamlessly switch between solo tasks and group collaboration. This adaptability extends to offering spaces where individuals can choose between sitting, standing, or lounging, ensuring that different postures and work styles are supported. Inclusivity is key; the space is designed to accommodate the diverse needs of all employees, allowing for equal participation regardless of personal requirements. Transparency is also an essential element of the nest concept—open office layouts promote trust and communication, eliminating boundaries between teams and fostering a culture of collaboration.

Technology integration plays a pivotal role in the design, especially with the need for seamless connectivity between in-office, remote, and global teams. Virtual collaboration tools, such as whiteboarding and remote brainstorming platforms, help bridge the gap between those in the office and those working from home.

The more private, focus work areas such as the Workstations, Team Meeting Rooms, Huddle Rooms, Private Offices, and Privacy Pods, were all consolated with each other in the 7th oor. All of these spaces with physical walls are separated by curtain walls in order to create a strong sense of community within the work areas. With the glazing, you have acoustical privacy, but physical transparency. Most other areas that don’t require privacy, excluding a few spaces, have no doors and are completely open. These spaces only have a few walls and thresholds separating the spaces. This also helps increase the feeling of togetherness and transparency within the employees. No space feels closed off or off limits, which is very benecial for the office community.

In the initial plans, spaces were laid out according to similar ideals of public/private and focus work needs, but lacked some thought about spatial adjacencies, and square footage needs. Spaces were then further developed with acoustical privacy needs; enclosing Huddle Spaces and Team Meeting Spaces with curtain walls. Some spaces were separated (such as the Activity and Wellness Rooms) to emphasize the different personas that would be using the spaces. Other spaces were rearranged to different oors or sides of the building according to what the employees needed close access to.

BRAND POP-UP SPACE Claire Callaway

Clubine, Brennah Do you have any plans after this semester?

My plans for after this semester will be going home to family and working. I will be looking for internships for the summer.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I would like to be a restaurant and commercial type of designer.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

I think the problems I run into both inside and outside of the studio is communication. I think that was a struggle this semester because a group of people were told one thing and then another group was told another set of things that might have been due. And I think communicating has been a struggle in this studio and past studios.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I would be interested in designing a restaurant or some kind of community area that would cater food.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

What makes a good workplace is communication, having an organized space and positive attitude. I think that communication is key because if you miss communicate, then there is confusion everywhere. Keeping a place organized is also a good workplace because working in a messy environment is not good and will make you or co workers lose their mind. Then a positive attitude because no one wants to come to a place where someone is upset 24/7.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

I think evidence-based design is doing research then backing it up with design. That when someone starts to design, they have background knowledge on their type of design rather than just going for it.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I think I learned how to manage my time a lot more with this project and studio than the past. I used to feel rushed and was not managing my time wisely but this semester, I learned to balance both social and school life. I was able to get all of my work done on time and be able to get sleep as well.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

I would say just enjoy your semester. There are going to be ups and downs with classmates and professors but you will manage. It is a heavier workload but if you put your mind to it, you will be able to finish it and be proud of your accomplishments. Also, I would utilize the facility and older students if you need help. Even if they are not in your studio or your professor, they have been through what you are about to go through. They know the struggle and they are there to help you through the next couple of months and rest of your design career.

DESIGN CONCEPT The design intent of the project is to be inspired by the Art Deco era. Because that era was such a vibrant time and everyone was “on the go”.

Rather than sitting in a brick building for 8 hours a day staring at the same boring wall. With the gold accents running throughout the building with an assortment of wallpapers with velvet and leather fabrics. It will have the office feel as if they are reliving the times in the 1920’s where it was alive and always on the go.

Costley Esq, Alexandra Riley

Do you have any plans after this semester?

After this semester, I plan to continue building my design portfolio and look for internships to gain hands-on experience. I’m also interested in attending design workshops or additional courses to further develop my skills, especially in areas like sustainable design and technology integration.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I would like to be a designer who creates spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, sustainable, and inclusive. My focus is on creating environments that promote well-being and cater to diverse needs, whether it’s through universal design principles, biophilic elements, or incorporating local culture into the design.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

In the studio, one challenge I encountered was time management, especially when juggling multiple projects with different deadlines. It was sometimes difficult to balance project development, exams, and work.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I would love to design a community space, like a public library or an art center, that encourages collaboration and creativity. I’m particularly interested in designing spaces that foster learning, connection, and engagement, and that respond to the needs of different user groups. It’s important to create spaces that are adaptable and inclusive, where everyone feels welcome.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

A good workplace is one that promotes both individual focus and team collaboration, while providing a sense of comfort and well-being. Good lighting, flexible layouts, quiet zones, and areas for social interaction are all essential. A positive workplace should also value diversity and inclusivity, and support employee mental health by offering spaces for relaxation and self-care.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

Evidence-based design, to me, means using data and research to inform design decisions. This could include studying how people interact with a space, analyzing how light or acoustics affect productivity, or incorporating feedback from users to create a more effective and user-centered design. It’s about making design choices that are grounded in empirical evidence, rather than personal opinion or trends.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

This semester, I learned how to better manage the complexity of design projects, especially with regard to balancing creative ideas with technical requirements. Additionally, I’ve become more comfortable with presenting my work and receiving constructive feedback, which has helped me grow as a designer.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

To future students, I’d say don’t be afraid to ask questions and seek feedback early in the process. It’s easy to get caught up in the details, but stepping back and discussing your ideas with peers or professors can provide invaluable perspective. Also, make sure to prioritize self-care during the semester—it can be intense at times, and it’s important to find balance. Lastly, embrace experimentation and learn from your mistakes. Design is a process, not a destination, so keep iterating and improving.

Dabney, Caroline M

Do you have any plans after this semester?

Spring semester, summer internship, a semester abroad in Rome, and then graduation.

What type of designer would you like to be?

A designer whose design can benefit others. Someone whose design can have an impact on a larger group or community.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

Blurry plot. :( I had to reprint. Not a big deal but it was stressful & irritating.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I think having the challenge of doing a hotel design as a studio project would be enticing.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

The diversity of spaces where one can work. Levels of privacy for different personalities or just moods depending on the day of the week.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

I understand the term evidence-based design as a way of using scientific evidence to thoroughly strategize design decisions.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I was pleasantly surprised by the process of construction documentation. From the outside without a true understanding or breakdown of the work, the assignment was very daunting. Being given the time to work through the kinks and understand the importance of construction documentation was rewarding. Challenging, but rewarding.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

Time management is a must. Jinoh gives a strict schedule, but following it thoroughly will benefit you greatly in the long run.

Deramus, Lindsay A

Do you have any plans after this semester?

I will be at home in Dallas, TX, spending time with family for the holidays and getting some much needed rest. In my free time, I plan on updating my portfolio and looking for a summer internship.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I would love to work in commercial design, especially hospitality or corporate design.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

Time management and balancing studio with my personal life were definitely challenges this semester and at times I was overwhelmed with the workload.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I would love to design a restaurant or a hotel.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

A workplace that gives people a variety of options for ways of working as well as spaces to step away from their work to rejuvenate and socialize with their colleagues.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

It means researching relevant precedents to understand what designs are effective and what designs are unsuccessful and using that knowledge to influence your designs.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I learned a lot about workplace design and what people need in the office. This studio taught me the importance of the beginning phase of a project and putting in effort to extensively research precedents and developing a strong design concept because doing so will drive the rest of the project and be a huge benefit in the end.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

Finding a good school/life balance is very important, but also try to push yourself with your studio projects because you will learn a lot and create designs that you’re really proud of.

The design concept for this new NEXT office seeks to blend health in the workplace with Health-Ade’s mission of promoting gut health. Health-Ade’s visual branding which includes gradients, a blend of colors, was a precedent for this concept. The design concept “blending” was also inspired by Fulton Market being a blend of the food and art scenes which relates to this project being a blend of a beverage brand with a creative ad agency. The space planning aims to blend the different teams in the office with collaboration spaces.

Health-Ade Kombucha often promotes blending their product with other ingredients to make mocktails, which is an ammenity in the brand pop-up space.

The brand pop-up allows people to immersify themselves with Health-Ade’s brand by learning how the kombucha product can blend with other ingredients to create mocktails. This is something Health-Ade often promotes to consumers as one of the many ways to use their kombucha.

Foley, Emerson S

Do you have any plans after this semester?

I plan to continue my studies as a third year Interior Architecture student through Fay Jones.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I would like to go into residential and hospitality design.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

I didn’t run into any big problems throughout this semester, however, adjusting from second year to third year and learning how to expand my knowledge and time management skills were the most challenging parts of this semester.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I would like to design a hotel, because it combines different settings such as a lobby, a restaurant, a residence and a patio, for example.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

A good workplace has spaces that are collaborative for employees and clients, and are also adaptable for multiple types of functions.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

Evidence based design, to me, is studying a similar site that you are about to work on and then taking that information and applying it to your project.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I learned more about how to put together construction documents and proposal books.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

Time management is really important, as well as getting to know the site and the client before you start to design and plan!

Garcia, Halley C

Do you have any plans after this semester?

I am going to begin applying for Summer 2025 Internships!

What type of designer would you like to be?

A commercial designer who works in teams on international or experiential design.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

It was difficult to balance designing with a Brand in mind versus designing for the NEXT brief. I think the project would have been more successful if the office was for the brands we researched so heavily.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I would like to design an actual branded space fully reimagining an existing brand identity.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

Variety. Variety of space types, accommodating a variety of workflows, giving employees a variety of furniture and ergonomic places to work.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

Evidence-based design to me means designing spaces that apply reasoning from real research, statistics, and input of current users of the space/similar spaces.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

This studio enhanced my skills in project proposals, construction documents, client research, workplace design, and a better understanding of the relationships between designers and other fields such as architects, engineers, lighting designers, and plumbing/HVAC specialists.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

It is easy to feel “burnt out” or unmotivated after the challenges of second-year, especially when learning more technical skills, but give yourself grace and remember you’re still learning! You aren’t a professional yet! Strive for improvement, not perfection.

HALLEY GARCIA

Gaston, Sydney Claire Do you have any plans after this semester?

Complete my spring 2025 semester along with pursuing a summer 2025 internship.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I would like to pursue a career with a focus on Residential design and Retail Design Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

This semester was full of ups and downs. With the combination of outside courses it is hard to balance the workload.

Overall these courses aren’t hard, but it is hard to balance everything. It was also hard to find the balance of the branding versus NEXT. I don’t think this was explained/handled in the most informative way.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I would really love to design something residential or retail. I think during school we focus on commercial, but I would love more practice with residential design.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

Collaboration! Collaboration and bringing workers together is very important. Allowing workers to have their own space, but also spaces to come together and be collaborative is important. This allows workers to build relationships and connections within the workspace.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

This means designing with a realistic goal and allowing yourself to imagine a real client involved. It also involves a research based design. You have to involve the research you complete into the space you design.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I learned about the importance of time management. I think this semester also taught me alot about the importance of the workplace. Realistically, we will be in the workspace in less than 2 years. Seeing the design side of it is very important and also has shaped the way I work. It is important to take in the needs of the clients of the people that will occupy the space we design. Overall, it has been a very informative semester.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

Use your time well. You will hear this so many times, but truly it is so important. Set time aside for yourself and take care of yourself. School is important, but if you manage your time well you are also able to care for yourself. Allow yourself to do something for you everyday. Take time with friendships and family. Studio is a priority, but in the end we only get one life, don’t regret not spending time with your people in college.

NEXT SURROUNDED The goal of this project is to help elevate the NEXT space. NEXT is an independent advertising agency who has offices around the globe. They work with clients in the food industry, footwear, beverage, and stationery industry. The design of the Chicago office must foster collaboration, creativity, and connection, aligning with NEXT’s mission to create emotional and impactful brand experiences. The new Chicago office is being built to have a better connection to the clients in these industries and areas. This office will have one main client, but will serve many different clientals. The space needs to be open, comforting and inviting.

COLLABORATION is a key design element for this space. This also means some workers are hybrid, while some are still in person and so this is another key design element.

This building is pivotal to the Chicago Fulton history. This area is known for being a large part of the Chicago meat market. It has gone through many owners ranging from meat to corporate. Even through all of these owners, it has kept its history. This is going to be very important to the location of the site itself. Overall, this is a very unique and historical site. This project needs to point to the importance of this building while also including all of the clients needs.

The primary goal of the NEXT Chicago office is to create an inspiring, thought provoking, and collaborative space. The space needs to ensure that collaboration and working together is always accessible. This will mean having large open spaces and glazing that connects workers at all times. This will also mean that soundproofing and acoustical tiles are necessary. This will help keep private areas quiet and lessen the amount of echo in the spaces. This will also help aid in the use of hybrid work. These rooms with sound proofing will allow the online hybrid workers to have a better and more seamless connection with the office. To achieve these goals, the office design must prioritize flexibility through the use of moveable workstations and rooms.

There will need to be ample space for gathering including a work cafe and team meeting rooms.

These are spaces that bring workers together. The meeting rooms also allow for a more private collaborative space. The NEXT Chicago office will allow for the agency to meet with new clients, be creative at all times, have the opportunity to always COLLABORATE AND WORK TOGETHER.

INSPIRED BY THE CHICAGO CIVIC CENTER PLAN, THIS SPACE FOCUS ON KEEPING THE COLLABORATION AT THE CENTER. COLLABORATION IS THE CENTER OF THE COMPANY, THEREFORE THE SPACE FOCUSES ON DOING THE SAME

THE SHAPE MIMICS THE DESIGN OF THE 1958 CENTER PLAN. IT BRINGS IN THE ANGLES AND THE IDEA OF BEING CENTERED AROUND A SPACE

WORK CAFE PERSPECTIVE

The NEXT Chicago office will be largely collaborative, which is an important key design consideration. This is where SURROUNDED comes into play. COLLABORATION is the center of the brand and the space. It brings all of the workers together. They work on their own in the outer edges and then come together in the center of the space.

SURROUNDED allows them to help their clients while working together with multiple team meeting spaces, huddles, and presentation rooms. This space blends together NEXT, Chicago, and BIC. It allows all of these to be seen throughout the building. You see NEXT in the essence of collaboration. You see CHICAGO in the floor plan inspired by the Civic Center Plan. You see BIC through the colors and the materials. This space will provide a space that allows the workers to help their clients grow and succeed.

STAIR PERSPECTIVE

Gomez Hincapie, Maria Isabel Do you have any plans after this semester?

After this semester, I plan to focus on developing my portfolio further and exploring internship opportunities that align with my passion for branding and retail spaces.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I’d like to be a designer who creates meaningful and immersive experiences, focusing on branding, storytelling, and how spaces connect with people on an emotional level.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

One of the biggest challenges was my computer completely dying three days before the final construction documents were due and just one week before the final review. It was stressful to lose that time, but I managed to push through by using backup files and relying on school resources to catch up. It was a tough experience, but it taught me the importance of having contingency plans and keeping work backed up in multiple locations.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I’d love to design a retail or hospitality space that reflects a strong brand identity and integrates sustainable and innovative design solutions.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

A good workplace is adaptable, encourages collaboration, and prioritizes employee well-being through thoughtful design, like natural lighting, comfortable spaces, and areas for relaxation or focus.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

To me, evidence-based design is about creating spaces informed by research and data that directly address user needs and improve their experiences. It ensures designs are not just visually appealing but also functional and impactful.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

This studio taught me the importance of iteration and feedback in refining ideas. I also gained a deeper understanding of how to balance conceptual thinking with practical execution in projects.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

Be open to exploring new ideas, even if they push you out of your comfort zone. The more risks you take, the more you’ll grow as a designer.

THE SPARK Behind Every Splash

WORK CAFE

PROJECT STATEMENT The new office for NEXT will be a vibrant, welcoming space that reflects creativity and collaboration.

Bright colors, natural materials, and sustainable practices will shape the design. Flexibility will support hybrid work, catering to different work styles. The space will leave a strong impression on clients and create an inspiring environment for employees. Inclusivity and accessibility will be prioritized, with features like wellness and lactation rooms to ensure a comfortable and supportive atmosphere for the whole team.

SPLASH This idea comes from the effect of water and the feeling of opening a refreshing drink. The design uses flowing shapes, bright colors, and glossy surfaces to capture the energy and movement of a splash.

It connects to both the product's fresh, bubbly vibe and the city's rivers, creating a playful and lively space that reflects the brand and the local environment.

NEXT’S

The design concept for NEXT’s Chicago office is rooted in “Axis,” aiming to create an environment that embodies the company’s legacy of innovation and its mission to influence change through creativity. As a marketing leader witha global presence, NEXT seeks a space that not only reflects their expertise in brand strategy but also facilitates meaninful connections and dynamic collaborationwith clients. This interior will serve as a catalyst for creativity and strategic thinking, allowing NEXT’s team to engage deeply with their mantra, “Being More Human.” By fostering a workspace that is adaptable, inspiring, and authentically human-centered, the design will encourage break-through ideas and a sense of belonging. The goal is to craft an office that isn’t just a place to work but a strategic environment where creativity flourishes, relationships strengthen, and impactful brand experiences are born. This space is meant to be a backbone to which a growing creative company can rely and expand on - an AXIS.

A CREATIVE COMPANY The design is based up an axial floor plan, with the goal of easily creating symmetry and a natural circulation path. Rather than using any curvilinear forms, planar forms are used to divide and accentuate the space. Such forms include: Custom reclaimed shelving, recreations of murals around chicago, and the basic linear partitions used to divide the space. Being able to easily get from one end of the building to the other quickly is important to the design. Employees at this office will have a good level of privacy while maintaining the ability to convene with their team. They will be protected from visitors because of the strategic separation of visting area. Ammenities are included that will add to the flexibility of the space, such as: Steelcase Flex Markerboards, Pin-Up Space, Logitech Webcams, and monitors placed in every team meeting room and private office.

Green, Camilla L Do you have any plans after this semester?

Yes! I am currently pursuing an internship at Historic Cane Hill for the upcoming spring semester to further my knowlege of historic restoration and adaptive reuse. I will also be improving my resume over the break to prepare for the Fay Jones career fair next spring.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I aim to be a designer who takes the extra mile in delivering designs for my clients, designs that are even more than what they are asking. I also aim to be a socially and environmentally aware designer who takes environmental factors and universal design into account in all of my projects.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

Like many others in studio, the main problem or obstacle I face in and outside of the studio is a healthy work/life balance. I find it hard to set aside time to take breaks and do something for myself, non-design related.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I would love to work on a residential project next whether this be a single-family residence, or multi-family. I am very interested in residential design but I do not feel I have enough experience in this area to truly know if it is something I would like to pursue.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

Diversity is the number one thing that makes or breaks a workplace. Whether this be diversity through design or the actual people in the office. Allowing an opportunity for every type of person to succeed should always be the goal.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

Evidence-based design means a well-researched design that ties together every design element with an overarching concept that comes from the existing location and/or client needs.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

This studio taught me the most out of all previous studios, no competition. This studio and its focus on construction documentation as well as typicals in creating our floor plans put into perspective how important the technicalities of design are, and how these should be thought of before design elements.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

Try your hardest to not procrastinate. A lot of the assignments given in studio are deceiving in the way they look and how much time you think they will take. Always be prepared to spend more time on these assignments than you think necessary.

CAMILLA GREEN

811 West Fulton Market in Chicago, IL, is the newest office location for NEXT, an international advertising agency. NEXT seeks an office design that fosters creativity, innovation, and collaboration. The design concept for this new Chicago office is inspired by the surrounding Fulton Market District, which has evolved from its historical roots in the meatpacking industry into one of Chicago’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Additionally, the area’s dynamic streets, which stretch from Fulton Market to Lincoln Square, contribute to the design’s emphasis on movement and progression. These elements inform the overarching design concept, Path to Progress, which will guide the office’s layout and aesthetic.

NEXT’s latest client, Whataburger, a fast-food chain known for its large hamburgers, is expanding beyond its Southern U.S. base. The agency will assist in re-branding Whataburger to appeal to a broader audience. To keep the team inspired and engaged, a small Hamburger pop-up restaurant will be featured on the 7th floor of the building, showcasing a new concept of roboticoperated kitchens.

The office design will incorporate vibrant pops of color, industrial materials, intuitive way-finding cues, and a directional floor plan, all reflecting the “Path to Progress” concept. This environment will encourage collaboration and innovation while connecting the agency’s work with its dynamic surroundings.

CLIENT PRESENTATION

Hill, Katie E

Do you have any plans after this semester?

I plan to finish out the school year, complete my internship, and finish my last year of school and graduate.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I’m interested in something related to set design or something in the theme park field.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

There was a lot of challenge in meeting all of the studio requirements while also attempting to achieve all of the goals that steelcase set.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I want to do some kind of themed hotel or restaurant design.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

A good workplace has plenty of opportunities to make you feel comfortable, and allows for different working types and changes in environment for each person.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

Evidence-based design is when you make choices based on what you’ve seen happen or there have been studies conducted that it does happen.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I learned a lot about different drafting conventions and moved a lot more in the direction of things that we’ll need to know for the real world. This studio project took us out of a fantasyland a little bit and gave us some issues to solve that would be presented realistically.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

Keep trying, keep working, persevere. You can have a very successful project if you just keep going.

THE PERFECT BLEND

NEXT

is a project for NEXT, an advertising agency with global offices. NEXT focuses heavily on collaboration, hybrid work, and engagement. Their main client is Liquid IV, a brand which holds similar values. Liquid IV is also a unqiue drink, in the sense that it is a powder and you have to mix the drink yourself. These elements came together to bring the idea of ‘the perfect blend.’ The spaces, work, and people in the space all blend and work together.

DESIGN CONCEPT

When looking at design ideas for the space, hydration and it’s association with sports came to mind. Chicago is a very sports heavy city, celebrating many athletes for many years, so it seemed natural to connect Liquid IV to Chicago sports. Many of Chicago’s sports stadiums are shared by various teams, which sparked the idea of sharing spaces, or ‘blending’ the spaces together. The red and blue stemmed from colors of Chicago’s flag and sports teams.

Howard, Macey J

Do you have any plans after this semester?

My plans are to look for an internship after this semester for the summer Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

I had a hard time leaning too much into my concept when I needed to step back. I ended up creating a design that is not my style and I do not want to represent myself as a designer. I focused on the wrong parts of the project.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I would like to design Hospitality such as Hotels or retail design.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

Comfortable seating with flexibility and good lighting in a comfortable environment with options of privacy make a good workplace.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

Evidence-based design means the design decisions have reason behind them.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I learned that it is time I start designing designs I like and favor to represent my style as a designer to be consistent to showcase my skills and style.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

If I could share any advice for future students I would say do not be afraid to try and create something out of your comfort zone and always try to create what’s in your head rather than backing down from your imagination and ideas because you think it will be hard. The hard work will pay off.

PROJECT STATEMENT The goal of this project is to design adaptable, multifunctional workplaces tailored to various persona types. The design will embody the company’s core values by providing a creative environment that encourages both focused individual work and collaborative team efforts. The layout will include dedicated spaces for collaboration and solo tasks, facilitating interaction through thoughtful circulation pathways. This approach will create an office that serves as an inspiring and flexible hub for productivity and teamwork. The space will also showcase their major client Whataburger.

CASE STUDY NEXT advertising agency aimed to create a workspace that supported various work styles, fostered creativity, and adapted to both in-office and remote work. The goal was to build an environment that allowed employees to work in a way that suited them while encouraging collaboration and deep focus. To achieve this, the office was divided into adaptable zones, including private focus pods for individual work and open collaborative spaces for team brainstorming. These areas were flexible and could be reconfigured as needed, promoting both creativity and efficiency.

OFF - O

FEAT - C - g - R

Hybrid workstations equipped with video conferencing tools ensured seamless communication between in-office and remote employees. The design also featured a dynamic pop-up space for showcasing clients' brands, which could be transformed for presentations or interactive displays. This space highlighted the agency’s creative capabilities while providing a unique platform for clients to engage with their brands.

Additionally, NEXT created a space that has unlimited access to creativity, and focus spaces promoting efficient work flows without hindering creativity. By blending private, collaborative, and hybrid workspaces, NEXT created an inclusive, flexible environment that supported both employees and clients, fostering innovation and collaboration in the modern work era.

Level 6 features a variety of public spaces, including the work café, wellness area, team meeting rooms, client display and presentation zones, reception, lactation rooms, work hubs, and two phone rooms. These spaces are strategically located on the sixth floor to provide paying clients with convenient access to these amenities, fostering opportunities for relationship-building with NEXTERS working on their projects. This design supports both collaboration and client engagement, enhancing the overall experience for all stakeholders.

A.I PROCESS

Level 7 is dedicated to a range of private workspaces, including individual workstations and versatile meeting areas designed to accommodate both small and large group discussions, as well as collaborative creative work. In addition to these, there are designated spaces for focused individual creativity. This floor also includes five private offices, each thoughtfully positioned to offer unobstructed views of the workstations while maximizing natural light, fostering a productive and inspiring environment.

Group Workstations

Frustrated Creative Networker:

They value the office because it offers a structure and a way to separate work and life – the daily routine of ‘going to and from work’ acts as a transition period between their personal and professional lives. They spend their day on back-to-back web conferencing calls and despite constant interaction, they feel disconnected.

Home office is freedom They feel a greater sense of wellbeing at home, where they can look out the window, sit in different postures, cook healthy meals and weave in activities that help them recharge and relax, such as hanging out with their pet.

The thought of coming in the office threatens their personalized routine they’ve now grown accustom to.

Relieved Self-Preservationist

Overworked Caretaker

Autonomy Seeker

Isolated Zoomer Home office is a lonely cage

Home office, break from life These workplace personas have quickly adapted the use of digital tools but crave more.

For them, virtual meetings are still too limited for creative collaboration and informal, spontaneous connections across silos. COVID has been a huge challenge when they suddenly found themselves cut off from in-person collaboration critical to their work.

Flow of competing demands

Home office is the safe space

Their long, jam-packed day is chopped between meetings, focus work, homeschooling and domestic chores, and they often manage their parenting responsibilities in shifts with their partner so the other can work. Exhaustion and guilt are piling up.

As an introvert, they are challenged with continuous social interactions while working in the office environment.

Although they understand the need for being part of the company culture, it can feel overwhelming.

ELEVATE Katelyn Jernigan

Located in Chicago Illinois, NEXT aims to achieve excellence by embracing traditional values, ensuring clients and employees well being, and elevating all the good NEXT stands for. Elevate is at the heart of NEXTs approach, leveraging advanced lighting control systems, smart building management techniques, and renewable energy sources to create a workspace that is not only functional, but forward thinking. Their client Olipop demonstrates that it is possible to create environments that are both traditional, and elevating while pushing the boundaries of modern design and nature.

Elevate exceeds the values of tradition, goodness, and wellbeing. Throughout the office building, glass and wood are materials that were highly used that offer visual contrast and feelings being in a space. Olipop is made from all natural ingredients which inspired me to carry that throughout my materials.

The natural coolors, and nature lead to a feeling of elevating yourself into a better person.

Kalkstein, Dakota Nathaniel Do you have any plans after this semester?

Focus on personal projects and gear up for the next semester!

What type of designer would you like to be?

A holistic one. I believe design is inherently holistic and multifaceted, which requires consideration from many perspectives.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

I’m continually learning how to balance my passion for design with selfcare. I’m getting close to revealing the secret to it—one day at a time!

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I’m deeply interested in designing immersive and experiential environments. Currently, I’m working in exhibition design, which I find both fascinating and impactful.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

Striking a balance between environments curated by employers to support diverse work styles and providing employees access to wellness, wellbeing, and fitness amenities—creating spaces that are both stimulating and relaxing.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

The best way to describe it for me is ‘Due Diligence’. Conducting thorough research is essential to producing truly wellthought-out and impactful work.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I gained a deeper understanding of the design process, from pre-design to construction documentation. I discovered how each phase informs the next, highlighting the importance of establishing a strong foundation to ensure the project’s success.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

It’s important to remember that while studio demands may feel overwhelming, breaking tasks into smaller, manageable pieces allows you to focus on each one independently. By crafting your work thoroughly, you can achieve the best possible outcome.

Kane, Turner Joseph

Do you have any plans after this semester?

I plan on sticking around Fayetteville for a while after school wraps up to learn how to use the ceramic 3D printer at the off campus fabrications lab. After work I’ll head home for the holidays to spend time with family and apply for summer internships. Towards the end of the break I’ll be shredding gnar at Red River with all my best buds.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I’d like to be the type of designer that can tackle any medium. Patterns, furniture, architecture, etc. I don’t want to be a designer who is trapped by their abilities, but someone who is willing to learn and grow through their capabilities.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

This semester went perfect and I loved every second of it is what I would say if we lived in a perfect world yet here we are.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I’m game to design anything. Home, workplace, or church, you name it I’ll give it my best.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

A melting pot of different work areas to adhere to each employee’s unique working conditions.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

Conducting thorough research of all facets of the project to produce a holistic proposal.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I learned the importance of resilient design. Creating iteration after iteration can be tiring and discouraging, but it’s worth it once you land on that one design that truly speaks to you.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

Stick with it.

Kennish, Madelyn Rose

Do you have any plans after this semester?

I already secured a remote internship with a firm in Columbia, Missouri. I plan to travel, collaborate with the team on various projects, and visit job sites. This will give me hands-on experience and help advance my career goals.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I’d be a friendly designer who builds great relationships with clients through clear communication and collaboration.

With strong time management, I’d deliver high-quality work on schedule while maintaining professionalism. My goal would be to earn respect by consistently exceeding expectations and staying innovative.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

I faced challenges with stress and time management, especially when I hit creative blocks.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

Modern High Luxury Hotel What do you think makes a good workplace?

A good workplace is collaborative, supportive, and free of competition among peers. It encourages teamwork, open communication, and mutual respect. Employees feel valued and grow together in a positive environment.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

To me, evidence-based design means using research and data to inform design decisions. It involves studying how people interact with spaces and applying proven principles to create functional, efficient, and user-centered environments.

This approach ensures the design is grounded in real-world needs and outcomes.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

This semester, I learned the importance of balancing creativity with practicality in design. I developed stronger problem-solving skills by addressing real-world challenges and gained a deeper understanding of user-centered approaches. These accomplishments have enhanced my confidence and prepared me for professional work Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

I would advise future students to manage their time effectively and stay confident in their work. Trust the process and don’t be afraid to take risks or make mistakes—they are part of learning. Also, actively seek feedback to refine your ideas and grow as a designer.

Lundien, Emerson ZhenLi Do you have any plans after this semester?

I plan on revising my portfolio and preparing to apply for internships in the spring.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I would like to design commercial spaces that create a positive experience.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

I think one of the issues i’ve ran into with school and studio is time management. I always want to do my best work but time can be a constraint when I am having to complete projects in all of my classes.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I think I would be interested in designing a restaurant or school next.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

I think a variety of different spaces and accommodations to today’s technology makes a good workplace.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

Evidence-based design to me means creating spaces informed by research and results. It means understanding what design elements to use to be able to achieve a certain outcome.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I learned from this studio about the various phases typically involved in the design and creation process. From research and development to construction documents and finalization, there are many factors to consider at each stage.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

I recommend being proactive in each of your classes this semester to ensure you have enough time for everything.

Make sure to review the syllabus for each class in advance and stay organized.

McNeil, Mary Virginia Lee Do you have any plans after this semester?

Over winter break I will be working on a personal project.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I would like to reach a place in my career where I have a good work-life-balance, I am successful and passionate about the designs, and I am comfortable in my job but still challenged. I never want to stop learning.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

As a person who has depression and anxiety, understanding my own boundaries was very important. It really benefitted me to not let my work overcome me and my mental health.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I am dying to do some residential design. These projects are huge for one individual and we never get to focus on the details.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

A good workplace is a company that remains successful without jeopardizing the employees’ mental and physical health.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

Evidence-based design is a method of creating your own design parameters through research, and using this information to be the basis of the project.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I learned that my personal design philosophies don’t easily apply to commercial design.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

Get a really good concept established and push it to the absolute maximum.

NEXT Advertisment Agency

42 Total Next Employees

This project is located in the Fulton Market district in Chicago, Illinois, this district is just West of downtown and was historically an industrial development area. The client, Next Advertisement agency, will bring abundance to 811 W Fulton. Each department of the office has respective needs and goals, through the design of the office we can produce efficient spaces that inspire efficient people. Since the site is located on the sixth and seventh floors, there will be a connecting stair area with easy access to the branded space. The brand-client partnership represented in the space is Next and McDonald’s, the basis for the concept is the combination of values from the client and brand, and melding it with the geometry of the site.

BRAND SELECTION: MCDONALD’S

NEXT

Using keywords like geometry, functionality, and partnership to influence design choices will form appropriate spaces that not only achieve their function, but make employees comfortable, focused, energized, and creative! It is imperative that each program serve the larger purpose of creating a positive workplace environment. After Covid-19, employees have more flexible options for work and often choose a hybrid lifestyle, another goal is to include visitor hybrid employees and provide a uniform experience as if they were full time. One specific goal of this design is to create flexible areas that provide many configurations for sitting, working, and living. This concept keeps the focus on adaptability and user well-being while also emphasizing a high-quality and personalized space.

Zoning Diagrams

At this stage, only the relationhips between programs and building conditions are studied. This is the first attempt towards a final solution, here we look at the surface level programmatic organization. For this project, sunlight is a large factor in spatial organization, the south side of the building is completely exposed to direct sunlight. The McDonald’s Work Cafe is located on the seventh floor south side, this space has a direct view to the rest of the Fulton Market District.

Above are the resulting block diagrams for the schematic phase. They address appropriate square footage, orientation within the space, openings, circulation, and allow us to develop the space program. Originally, the south east corner was reserved for a double height area due to its sunlight, as the project went on, I could no longer lend the space. Through iterating block diagrams, we explore different configurations and further develop our own understanding of how the space is supposed to feel. All workstations are located on the perimiter of the space, the areas are open and provide employees with proper natural light.

Above are the resulting zoning diagrams for the schematic phase. There are few differences between the block diagram and zoning diagram here. This exercise focuses on the development of programmatic needs, not just size and shape. For example, the sight lines from the directors’ office.

Here, we can begin to understand wall types. On the sixth floor, you can see the distinction between curtain walls and solid walls. The relationship of these spaces is important, all private offices and workstations are all on the sixth floor together. Spaces like team meeting rooms, the screening room, and wellness spaces are located on the seventh floor for a calmer mood.

My design intent for Vandorens is to capture the essence of Vans by taking the brand back to its roots, while embracing the bold spirit of the era in which it was born. Jim and Paul Van Doren founded Vans in 1966, starting their business in their Southern California home. By the late 1970s, Vans had become synonymous with the skate culture that flourished in the vibrant, rebellious atmosphere of that time. It was also an era defined by the rise of postmodern architecture bold colors, daring patterns, and a departure from conventional design rules. Vans' motto, "Off The Wall," embodies the ideals of creative selfexpression, authenticity, and individuality, all of which are central to the brand's identity. In designing Vandorens, my goal is to bring this ethos into the space, creating an environment that reflects the fearless creativity and unconventional style that made Vans an iconic brand. Through dynamic patterns, unexpected textures, and a playful yet purposeful use of color, this space will evoke the same sense of freedom and originality that has always been at the heart of Vans.

Sexton, Mikala M

Do you have any plans after this semester?

Look for internships and update my portfolio.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I honestly want to see where I end up and do not have my heart set on a particular field in mind. However, I’ve thought about retail, hospitality, or office design.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

Staying on top of deadlines is very important. I found it easier to manage my time this semester than last. My mental health is important to me and I had to set boundaries between school and my well-being.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I think retail or a restaurant would be fun to design next.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

An open line of communication, good feedback and critiques, encouragement and recognition Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

Evidence-based design means that you have done research and studied the type of design you plan to implement.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I learned a lot more about materials and colors. I think I was able to push myself when it came to deciding my material palette. I learned more about space planning and overall, became more fluent in Revit. We also touched on construction documents, which was something we haven’t gone over before.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

It’s important to set boundaries between your mental health and school. Don’t burn yourself out or force yourself to work when you know you can’t. It’s important to take breaks and take time for yourself.

The aim of Next is to transform the traditional office environment with it’s client Health Ade to boost creativity and productivity. The new hybrid workspace will promote intergenerational collaboration and a strong sense of community, prioritizing employee well-being through a gridded floor plan, natural light, and sustainable materials. Advanced technology and intuitive navigation will be integrated to create a dynamic atompshere to promote a healthy lifestyle, benefiting the overall well-being and effciency of the office. The design concept for the “Reach” advertising agency office is inspired by skyscrapers. The space is organized into sectors, much like a city with different buildings. Glass walls are used throughout, creating a sense of openness and connection. Orthogonal lines reflect the clean, structured shapes of skyscrapers, while the color palette and materials are chosen to create a lively, energetic atmosphere without distracting from focused work. The design captures the idea of growth and ambition, similar to how skyscrapers rise to reach new heights, fostering collaboration and productivity.

Swan, Audrey F Do you have any plans after this semester?

I plan to apply for summer internships over Christmas break. I plan to continue working in studio and as a course assistant next semester. Then, I plan to finish my last year, graduate, and get a job.

What type of designer would you like to be?

Currently, I am interested in corporate design. I am also interested in sports facilities or healthcare design. Eventually, I would like to work in residential design or teach. Skills wise: detail oriented!

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

The main issues in the studio involve printing: printers out of ink, not working at all, or being unable to read large files.

Personally, I ran into time issues and I could improve time management skills.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

Hmm, I have no preference. Every design has taught me new things, so I’m open to anything. Possibly something to do with healthcare because I’m interested in that field.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

A good workplace is where you feel supported, inspired, and part of a team. There should be spaces for focus balanced with spaces that bring people together to share ideas. Comfort, good lighting, and thoughtful details are also very important.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

Creating spaces that work for the people using them. For this project, visiting Steelcase was so helpful—they talked about how people use different postures like sitting, standing, lounging, and perching, and how they rely on tools that can be digital, analog, or a mix of both. It’s a great reminder to stay up-to-date and design with real needs in mind.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I really pushed myself with the pop-up and the construction documentation process; it made me look at design in a whole new way—now I’m always thinking about how things are built and what the details would look like in real life.

Research also played a big part, like when we visited Steelcase. Lastly, time management skills, still not the best but getting there.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

Time management, time management, time management! Stay organized, break things down into smaller tasks, and don’t get overwhelmed by the bigger picture. It’s also important to push yourself creatively!

NEXT is a global creative advertising agency known for transforming leading brands through innovative strategies that merge advertising, digital, and brand storytelling.

Guided by their mantra, “Being More Human”, NEXT focuses on creating emotional, impactful connections that inspire brand loyalty and cultural change.

Their major client, LAMY, is a German pen brand celebrated for its ergonomic, minimalist designs and timeless craftsmanship.

Together, NEXT and LAMY represent the intersection of creativity, functionality, and storytelling CHICAGO Lake Michigan’s expansive shoreline defines Chicago’s landscape with its natural curves and fluid connection to the city.

FULTON MARKET DISTRICT Fulton Market has transformed from an industrial hub into a center for creativity, innovation, and collaboration.

KNOLL AT FULTON MARKET Knoll's building in Fulton Market blends modern design with the area’s industrial past. They thoughtfully zone space with a clear delineation of work and social spaces.

THE SHORELINE OF LAKE MICHIGAN

The natural, flowing motion of Lake Michigan, where the shoreline curves and contours, this concept translates into curvilinear, asymmetric, and rhythmic forms in the space. This dynamic environment fosters creativity and connection throughout the workplace.

THE RIPPLE EFFECT OF STORY TELLING

Every idea starts as a thought — a stone — creating ripples as it is shared in conversation. These ripples symbolize the exchange of stories and ideas.

Eventually, the current illustrates how they become tangible and reach a broader audience.

Contour is a workplace that nurtures storytelling in its organic form: thinking, sharing, reaching.

The stair opening provides a glimpse into the brand pop-up space below, drawing the eye to its sleek, white curvilinear form and creating a subtle connection between the levels.

The soft spiral stair, located underneath the skylight, is entirely coated in a striking yet subdued blu. Brass handrails provide a touch of contrast and highlight its presence.

The stair introduces the curvilinear language used throughout the project, and is echoed by the custom reception desk that seamlessly fits into its form and includes an accessible counter.

STAIRCASE

Light screens at workstations provide subtle privacy while maintaining a collaborative feel. They also double as bulletin boards and make it easy for employees to share screens and gather quick opinions, encouraging teamwork and interaction.

The double-height space connects two departments vertically, creating a dynamic visual link. This area also serves as an informal meeting space/pin-up area, encouraging collaboration and idea sharing.

OPEN WORKSTATIONS The ceiling of the work café becomes a focal point, expressing the project's curvilinear language on a larger scale. While the building’s existing structure limits curvature in the rear wall, the ceiling design compensates with flowing, rhythmic form.

The work café offers a variety of seating options, including bar-height stools, lounge chairs, benches, and standard chairs, catering to different modes. It also provides flexibility for different group sizes, making it a versatile space for work and socializing.

WORK CAFE The client presentation room presents an “infield outfield” concept. A central table holds formal discussions, while built-in bench seating creates a casual space for conversation or note-taking, making it easy for people to sit in and engage as needed.

Digital and analog tools for versatile collaboration, featuring a large monitor for digital displays and a whiteboard for brainstorming and ideation

The LAMY pop-up shop is defined by a curvilinear sculpture made from smooth white FRP panels. The clean, minimalist design emphasizes the pens, letting their vibrant colors stand out. The FRP material mirrors the sleek, molded plastic feel of a LAMY pen, seamlessly connecting to the brand’s aesthetic and the project’s curvilinear focus.

NEXT is an independent, global creative advertising agency headquatered in NYC, and soon opening a new office in chicago, il. This workplace design will aim to create an innovative environment . Adidas is known for pushing boundaries with its timeless and versatile product line, making it an ideal brand to inspire a branded workplace that reflects its culture.

The design will focus on fostering strong client connections, prioritizing employee well-being, and creating a sense of community and comfort. Key goals include enhancing productivity with versatile spaces, providing a welcoming visitor experience, supporting hybrid teams, and balancing collaborative and private areas to accommodate diverse work styles.

Adaptable, multiuse designs will ensure the workspace remains functional and relevant as needs evolve.

By drawing inspiration from Adidas’ legacy of innovation and bold design, the workplace will embody the brand’s dynamic spirit while supporting the advertising company in achieving its goals, ultimately creating a space that advances connection, well-being, and success.

the grid.

adidas ethos: timeless quality craftsmanship respected

To translate my concept of “candid,” inspired

by Next’s star client, Adidas, I began by using the existing building grid to organize the programmatic elements of the space. A micro-grid within this existing framework further organizes all furniture and spatial elements. This grid system has enabled me to define solid spaces that naturally shape the voids around them.

While the spatial organization is structured and derived from a set of rules, it still allows for countless possibilities in circulation, creating an infinite number of paths through the office. This layout fosters unplanned employee interactions and encounters, which embody the straightforward and honest qualities that will drive the vibrancy and authenticity of this workspace

Semi-circular coves formed by micro chain-link curtain partitions create a garden-like maze, offering an immersive, contemplative break from the workspace. The foliage, combined with greenhouse materials beneath the skylight, highlights Adidas’s commitment to transparency and craftsmanship.

The pop-up space also features recycled suede and leather shopping bags crafted from leftover materials in Adidas’s shoe manufacturing process. These sustainable bags highlight Adidas’s commitment to reducing waste and repurposing materials, further aligning the brand with environmentally conscious practices.

Fulton Market has a rich history that dates back to the 19th century. Originally, it was a hub for meatpacking and food distribution, thanks to its proximity to the Chicago River and the cities railroads. The area was bustling with activity, with many warehouses and factories supporting the food industry. In the late 20th Century, as the meatpacking industry declined, the area began to transform. Artists and creative businesses started moving in, attracted by the large, affordable spaces. This shift laid the groundwork for the neighborhood’s revitalization. Recently, Fulton Market experienced significant redevelopment. It’s now a trendy area known for its vibrant mix of tech companies, upscale restaurants, and boutique hotels.

Webb, Avery Cate

Do you have any plans after this semester?

I plan this summer to get an internship in a big city, hopefully New York or Charleston.

What type of designer would you like to be?

I would like to be a residential designer.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

It is hard to balance social commitments and school commitments sometimes and I’ve struggled with having to be okay with missing out on some social events to perform the best in school but also still keeping a good work life balance.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I would love to design a hotel.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

A good environment and friends.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

It means to me that one has researched and has facts to back up their design choices.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I learned time management and how to properly do construction documents.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

Work hard and don’t compare your work to other students. Also remember everyone works best in different ways so learn how you work best and stick to that. Finally trust your gut and always follow through fully with your ideas before changing them.

Williams, Ann-Elizabeth Ryan Do you have any plans after this semester?

Get an internship this summer, complete another year, and graduate in 2026!

What type of designer would you like to be?

I’m interested in both commercial and residential design. I would love to work on hospitality or retail design projects.

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

Finding a healthy work/life balance is difficult while taking a studio course. If I could do it again, I would dedicate more attention to creating a strict schedule that works for me and sticking to it. It is easy to fall behind when there is so much to be done.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

Hospitality or healthcare spaces.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

Maximized connectivity and collaborative spaces with opportunities for individual, heads-down work, as well as a healthy workplace culture and sense of community among the team working there.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

To me, evidence-based design means curating and designing spaces based on real data and research. Meeting the needs of your client by using methods that have previously proven to be successful.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

This semester, I learned that I can accomplish most things on my own by being proactive and doing the research. You never know until you try! I learned more about using Revit and 3D modeling this semester than I have in any studio thus far, and I discovered an interest in commercial and workplace design that I didn’t know I had.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

I would advise not to compare your work with others, everyone has a different style and skill set. Manage your time wisely, be patient with yourself, and do not be afraid to try something new! With time and effort, you can make something you never knew you were capable of before.

Wixson, Grace K

Do you have any plans after this semester?

Apply for several design internship positions and perfect my resume and portfolio.

What type of designer would you like to be?

Residential or commercial design.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

Large Modern Residential Home.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

Efficient space planning, stimulating though relaxing, appropriate lighting, large meeting spaces, and aesthetically appealing.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

Basing design concepts or techniques off of credible research or precedent.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I learned about my growth and my style and techniques are starting to fall into place and I’m more confident in my design process. I have learned a lot over the past 3 years and it is all coming together at its own pace. I have realized my learning pace is different from others and it is crucial not to compare yourself to those in your same studio, everyone learns and designs differently.

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

If you feel like you’re behind, just trust yourself and piece everything you’ve learned and keep building onto it. Everything you’re learning and experiencing will click and come together around this time!

Kindred Spaces Concept :

Kindred is more than an office—it’s a place where past, present, and future converge to foster innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity. Inspired by the warmth of nostalgia and the strength of intergenerational connection, we create spaces that bring people back to the joys of their childhood while embracing forward-thinking, responsible design. Guided by universal design principles, Kindred ensures accessibility for all, nurturing a culture where diversity thrives, and every individual feels welcomed and valued.

Our flexible workspaces promote creativity and collaboration, supporting well-being and efficiency. Through sustainable practices and energy-efficient systems, we minimize environmental impact, setting a new standard for eco-conscious design. Kindred is not just a workspace—it’s a vibrant, inclusive community where memories inspire the future, and generations come together to create, innovate, and grow.

“Kindred” evokes a sense of shared connection across generations, bringing to mind nostalgia and the bonds we form through common experiences, such as childhood memories. Kindred emphasizes flexibility and inclusivity, symbolizing the welcoming, accessible, and collaborative environments shaped by universal design.

The name blends the warmth of nostalgia with the forward-thinking, sustainable nature of the office, creating a place where all generations feel at home and creativity is inspired by the best of past and present.

Zenthoefer, Emma Marie

Do you have any plans after this semester?

I plan to study abroad in Denmark for Summer 2025!

What type of designer would you like to be?

I would like to be a residential designer! Although I am considering looking into furniture design or even specializing in model building!

Can you tell me about any problems you ran into in the studio or outside?

I got broken up with two days before my final review and I lost an entire day of work to complete my final review poster and proposal because I couldn’t stop crying.

What kind of place would you like to design next?

I would love to design an apartment complex or hotel next! I really enjoy creating residential spaces with a spatial limit that challenges how to create ample storage and access to good lighting with square footage limits.

What do you think makes a good workplace?

I think inclusive design for all people makes a good workplace. Providing places for all different types of workplace personas, especially mixed use spaces that can cater to multiple different types of people’s needs at the same time, is essential to creating a good workplace where productivity and a sense of comfort/belonging can thrive.

Can you tell me what evidence-based design means to you?

Evidence-based design relies on using research and case studies to create a design that meets the needs of others instead of relying solely on the designer’s instincts and personal biases. This gives the designer a broader knowledge of inclusivity relating to their project and creates a project that can be supported by specific design choices.

Compared to previous semesters, the semester may be challenging in many ways, but you may be able to see your accomplishments. Reviewing your accomplishments, what did you learn from this studio?

I learned construction documentation and how accounting for accessibility, egress, and lighting in the earlier stages in the process is essential to having a smooth time during the construction documentation phase, avoiding the need to rework entire spaces!

Would you like to share anything with future students of this studio?

Jinoh gives you a lot of work! But it is all worth it in the end when you have a plethora of evidence to back your design choices and concept. Don’t give up! You got this!

When a company is struggling to retain employees and attract new employees, outcome levels and production plummet to damaging levels. Even large companies with hundreds of employees can face this struggle, especially when the employees are spread out and don’t feel the connective culture companies promise in today’s age. While the new age of technology promotes remote and hybrid work for better productivity, many employees feel disconnected or disjointed from the company and therefore feel unmotivated to produce work for them.

Huddle Rooms Team Meeting Rooms

Meeting Spaces

A large question remains: How can we build and leverage company culture to attract and retain the best talent given the challenges posed by hybrid/remote work?

Glass Wall/Visual Opennings

Huddle Rooms

Employees often feel a lack of connection with a company’s culture when they don’t form connections with their peers and teammates. Having spaces where employees can work together, whether it be employees from the same office or virtual work with employees from other offices can help build a culture of all employees being part of the same team. Another big factor in an employee’s motivation is feeling supported by team leads and management. If a remote employee doesn’t feel supported by management, especially if management prioritizes in person workers, the employee may feel adrift, lost, or even neglected. This neglect can lead to the loss of employees, and in a age of heightened technological and social communication, word about the neglect can spread quickly to other potential applicants, discouraging them from applying. This can ruin a company’s culture, as well as their public view.

Though the company is not lost yet. Having management that engages with all employees and focuses on their needs will strengthen employees’ connection with the higher ups, increasing their feeling of importance and motivating them to put effort into their work. Similarly, having meetings that span different offices can encourage employees from different states to connect with each other. Also having employees travel to build bonds and experience the other offices, in this case have those from the San Francisco location visit the other locations frequently, will greatly increase the company’s awareness of their employees’ well-being across the entire brand. Finally, encouraging connectivity within the office, such as lounge spaces, huddle rooms, and technology to access those working remotely at any time will create a positive culture that can make the business feel less like a job and more like a family.

Letters from Instructors Here’s a moment to recognize the tremendous effort and dedication you’ve shown this semester. Each of you brings unique perspective and boundless creativity, and it’s been a pleasure watching your ideas take shape and grow.

We focused on developing the tools and skills to transform abstract concepts into concrete designs this semester. Not only did I want to give you practical knowledge, but I also wanted to help you bridge the gap between academia and professional practice.

You learned the importance of iterative design as you pushed yourself through the challenges of this class-how ideas evolve, how time and effort refine the unsatisfactory, and how attention to detail makes a difference. Whether your final projects match your initial vision or not, what really matters is the journey: the lessons learned, the resilience built, and the growth you achieved.

This class’s work stands as a testament to your perseverance and creativity. The publication showcases the different approaches and perspectives you’ve contributed, forming a cohesive narrative that reflects our shared strength.

Thanks for all your hard work, enthusiasm, and commitment this semester. It’s been a pleasure watching you grow as designers. Please take advantage of the winter break to rest and recharge. This time is for reflecting on your progress, dreaming about the future, and getting inspired for the next chapter.

It’s great to hear you’ve reached this milestone, and I’m looking forward to seeing what you accomplish next semester.

All my best, Jinoh Park, Instructor and Publisher

250

Congratulations, students, on finishing a challenging - and rewarding - semester! It’s hard to believe how much you’ve accomplished. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know each of you - learning more about your interests, work habits, design ideologies and predilections. What do you really care about? And how can that interest help you tackle a difficult design problem with the resolve, interest and tenacity to make well-informed and meaningful design choices?

I particularly enjoyed the depth of brand research each of you conducted. Bringing an abstract concept from the brand, into your office design, created a much more rich and nuanced design solution. If you work in the commercial sector, you will likely be tasked with this very research - this is great practice, and you all attended to the task with aplomb.

This semester challenged you to think about all the different scales of design solution; from concept, site and research all the way down to base trim and section details. Indeed, this range of conceptualization is what makes you a true “Designer.” It’s both our responsibility and super power to not only conceptualize a design solution that’s aesthetically pleasing, but also to understand how to construct it, how to articulate the concept at all scales, and how to orchestrate it to heighten and support human experience.

I hope you can take time over the winter break to reflect on your efforts. If you could do it over again, what would you change? What worked well for you?

What were some successes and setbacks you encountered in the journey?

Thank you for sharing your time and design efforts with me this semester!

Sincerely, Lucky McMahon

Students, You should be proud of all you have accomplished this semester. You started with a problem, and through research, programming, and the design process proposed a solution. You each brought your own interests and background to the table, and each offered unique and thoughtful solutions that were well suited for the client. You have grown in your documentation skills, and your ability to use evidence base design solutions, considering all users, instead of personal preferences.

As you continue your design education and begin your career, I look forward to watching you advance your skills and find your place in the design industry.

The skills you developed in this course will serve you well. You developed a concept based on research, and let that guide your design solutions. This is a process you will repeat and refine over and over again.

User focused workplace design has the power to change company culture, reimagine how we work, and improve the human experience. Keep asking questions, considering all users, and accommodating diversity.

Thank you for sharing this semester with me and welcoming me into my first studio course. Your perseverance and dedication were inspiring, and you were a pleasure to teach.

Sincerely, Rache; Tucci

As this semester draws to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on your incredible journey and share a few words of encouragement as you step into the next chapter of your life and learning.

Interior design is more than arranging spaces; it is about creating environments that inspire, comfort, and connect people. Each project you undertake is a canvas to express your creativity, solve complex problems, and make a lasting impact.

If I can dispassionately recommend something to you, I would say: Be curious and carry curiosity with you everywhere you go. Curiosity is the spark that drives discovery. Ask questions, don’t be afraid to express your view, seek inspiration in unexpected places, and embrace the unknown with an open mind. Design is constantly evolving, and it is your willingness to explore that will set you apart and push boundaries.

Equally important is perseverance. The design process can be challenging, filled with revisions, critiques, and moments of doubt. Yet, it is through these challenges that you will grow the most. Embrace setbacks as opportunities to learn and refine your craft. The world is full of opportunities for those who remain steadfast in their passion and commitment.

As you continue your journey, remember that your work has the power to shape lives and transform communities. Approach every project with empathy, dedication, and a vision for creating meaningful spaces.

Thank you for your hard work, creativity, and resilience this semester. Thank you for sharing your ideas, your concepts, your enthusiasm. You were all sparkling and fun and it has been a privilege to witness your growth and contributions to this vibrant field. I am excited about the incredible designs you will bring to life in the future.

Wishing you success and joy in all that you do.

Ciao!

Valeria
