PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Since the beginning of my teaching career in Korea, I have always wished that I had a book such as this one. This wish may have originated from my 6th grade teacher, who made a graduation workbook containing students’ writings, drawings, and photographs.

After my graduation and before my undergraduate years, I was able to see my growth in ways of thinking and understanding as a result of reading the book.

With my colleagues, I made a school book including all the graduate projects completed at Hanyang University in 2006. By reading the book, I had been able to cheer up and reenergize myself whenever I was exhausted and burnt out in practice. With these memories, it has been four years since I made the course books for the subjects I taught.

In my opinion, the curriculum in the first two years is typically more focused on visualizing ideas by converting them into visualized outputs that can be shared with others. In the second half, the focus is more on materialization aligned with the realities, such as building codes, social issues, etc. It is my hope that you will be able to improve your ability to visualize and sense scale before the second half.

During the process of creating this book, I learned something that I had never known before. I am gradually improving my skills as an instructor, learning what I have missed as an instructor, what I should remember when teaching next semester, which assignments to emphasize more, and what to emphasize less. Seeing the efforts and thoughts of the students that I had not yet discovered, I smiled at them and regretted that I had not been able to encourage them more.

I congratulate them on their successful completion.

As a final note, I would like to thank you for all the time I spent with you. Despite the fact that this design studio with you has ended, please feel free to contact me at any time. I will be glad to respond to your contact. It has been a pleasure having you with me this semester.

Jinoh Park, Instructor and Publisher

After receiving this book, each recipient may have a different reaction to it. In the past four years, it has been observed that it serves as a tangible teaching portfolio for instructors, a data bank for students in the event of unexpected laptop failures, and an educational experience that motivates students to create their own portfolios. What will be your reaction when you receive this book? In the future, when you are about to graduate, what will you think after reading this book? In keeping with this thought, I completed the process of making the book.

What I learned...

Project #6 “Precedent Study” - We leared about well known houses to better understand their structures and the ideas behind them.

- Things like lighting and functionality Project #7 “Space Program” - Here we built our initial ideas for our houses.

We started thinking through our overal design concepts adn meaning and intentions behind each room we created.

Project #8 “Space Design” - We began to put all of our rooms together to create the overal structure of our house.

- Then we drew elevations and sections to give a better idea of the product.

Project #9 “Presentation” - As we finalized floor plans and elevations, and chose materials and perspective views I began to see my house come together. We learned what it means to present a product to a client and recieved real feedback from an architecture firm during our final review.

Project #10 “VR & AR Experiene” - This experiences made me rethink how I represent and explain my designs by highlighting the importance of mood, movement, and perspective. I’d like to shift from static drawings to more dynamic tools, like animated walkthroughs, layered diagrams, and user-perspective visuals, to better capture the feeling and flow of a space.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- It’s not gong to be easy, and you arae going to want to give up, but to be able to look past the temporary hardship and know you wll be rewarded in the future, you will be able to have such a better perspective on this program as a whole.

Make sure to have fun, be creative and express yourself through your work!

PROJECT #7

Space Program 0. Scenario

1. Entrance + Toilet + Bathroom + Landscape Students will initiate the process of designing their home at 601 W Center St by developing spatial programs for the Entrance, Toilet, Bathroom, and Landscape zones.

The goal is to connect precedent knowledge with personal lifestyle, body measurements, and everyday behavior. This task helps students define and visualize personalized spatial needs, and generate five spatial layout variations per zone that balance design logic with individual experience.

By decomposing daily routines, required furniture, and spatial requirements, students will gain insights into how environment and behavior interact, allowing them to design spaces that genuinely support daily life.

2. Floor Plans + 3D Students will transform their concept model into clearly articulated floor plans and further refine the Rhino 3D model to reflect architectural intent. The goal is to define programmatic zones, circulation, wall thickness, openings, and spatial proportions while maintaining conceptual clarity. Plans and 3D form must work in parallel to ensure consistency between design logic and space usability.

3. Elevations & Section Students will generate elevation drawings and section cuts from their updated Rhino model and finalized plans to study vertical relationships, facade expression, and interior–exterior transitions. This will help articulate how the house presents itself spatially and formally, as well as how light, proportion, and structure are resolved across different views.

4. Perspectives (Form + Lighting Only) Students will generate and compose perspective views to study form, massing, and lighting qualities without applying material finishes. The goal is to visualize spatial atmosphere, shadow patterns, openness/enclosure, and user scale using clean geometry. This exercise will deepen students’ spatial intuition and provide visual feedback for further refinement.

5. Materials, Finishes, and FF&E (Render final perspectives) Students will complete final atmospheric renderings by applying materials, lighting, and FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) into the previously prepared Rhino model views. The goal is to communicate design intent and emotional quality by combining light, color, texture, and spatial use in realistic visualizations.

1. Occupant Interview Sheet

The user envisions a home that balances clarity, comfort, and natural materials, especially evident in the entrance design. Inspired by the Villa Mairea, they emphasize a well-defined entry that is both open and protective — featuring elements like bamboo panels and layered thresholds. Their entrance experience changes depending on whether they’re alone (more passive) or with a guest (more energized and welcoming). When coming home, they unlock the door, remove shoes, drop their bag, and transition into their space — ideally with storage and a bench that also works as a shoe rack.

Bathrooms are divided by function. The semi-private bathroom is efficient and located for guests to use easily. It is enclosed, has a lockable door, and uses easy-to-clean materials like tile. Lighting is warm and controlled, and future improvements include adding ventilation and possibly a window for natural light. The full bathroom, intended for the user’s personal use, emphasizes privacy, comfort, and ritual. It’s where they unwind, do self-care, and spend significant time at night. It should include a double sink, a tub/shower combo, and warm ambient light.

The outdoor space is used daily for everything from playing with a pet to relaxing with guests. It needs to support both shade and sun with thoughtful placement of trees and sunshades. A pool, natural landscaping, and a glass transition from indoors to outdoors are essential. Privacy from neighbors is crucial, and the user intends to use fencing and vegetation to achieve that. Furniture like outdoor tables, lounge chairs, and storage is required, along with access to outlets and water.

The living room is the heart of the house. It needs to be cozy and flexible, hosting friends while still functioning as a quiet place when alone. A C-shaped seating arrangement, warm materials like leather and wood, and strong connections to views and natural light are important. Similarly, the kitchen is a shared and active space where the user cooks daily. It must be flexible and efficient, with an island layout and natural ventilation. The dining area is small but intentional — typically not used for everyday meals, but important for hosting.

It should be located near a window and kitchen, using warm lighting and chairs (not benches).

7

2. Spatial User Analysis The user’s daily life is shaped by both solo rituals and social interactions. The entrance must accommodate both — welcoming guests while allowing smooth individual routines.

It includes a bench, shoe storage, hooks, a mirror, and pet leash accessories. Spatial needs include space for bending, seated shoe removal, and visual privacy with layered thresholds.

The semi-private bathroom supports quick visits and hosting. It needs to be easy to understand, with a familiar layout. It will be enclosed, warm-lit, ventilated, and equipped with necessary items like a sink, mirror, and storage. The full bathroom is more of a personal retreat. It includes a combination tub and shower, natural and ambient lighting, ample counter space, and good flow between wet and dry zones. Materials should be easy to clean yet warm and tactile.

The living space reflects a need for calm and comfort, with cozy seating, layered lighting, and soft textures. The user wants to see the backyard from here and needs storage and pet accommodations. The dining space should be well-lit with natural light and support flexible uses like work or meals with guests. The kitchen must be semi-open, with clear zones and a well-placed triangle of fridge, stove, and sink. Storage and airflow are essential.

In the private areas, the master bedroom is a versatile emotional space — calming, cozy, and flexible for rest, reading, or retreating. It includes a large bed, personal storage, a vanity, and soft lighting. The walk-in closet is functional and private, meant to smoothly connect the bathroom and bedroom. Built-in storage is required, and the atmosphere should feel calm and uncluttered. The art studio is a personal escape, requiring natural light, storage, a work desk, and space to be messy and creative. It should be slightly isolated from the rest of the house, offering visual and acoustic privacy.

3. Design Persona Name: Maya — “The Host-Creator” Maya is a creative, sociable, and introspective individual who values both community and personal space. She’s a university student with a passion for art and a deep appreciation for nature, comfort, and ritual. Her design choices are guided by the rhythms of daily life — welcoming friends, making art, cooking simple meals, or sitting under a tree in her backyard.

Her home must be intuitive. She wants defined zones for different emotional states: an open and welcoming entrance, a bathroom that separates guest and personal needs, a cozy living space for connection, and a private, sunny art studio to focus and recharge.

She is sensitive to light, sound, and texture, preferring soft finishes, natural light, ambient soundscapes, and natural transitions between spaces. Materials like wood, stone, and tile feel grounding to her.

Maya’s favorite spaces allow for both stillness and movement. She thrives in layouts that offer good circulation, framed views, and layers of privacy. She values flexibility — using her dining table for drawing as often as for eating — but also wants permanence in some rituals, like having a cozy evening routine in her master bath.

More than anything, Maya’s home must feel like a gentle threshold between the inside world and the natural one outside. It’s a place where she can stretch out with her cat, gather with friends, or quietly make something with her hands.

Design Quote: “My home should hold space for joy, quiet, and creativity — somewhere that makes room for both people and pause.”

What I learned...

Project #6 “Precedent Study” - I learned how to develop a spatially and understanding of residential design by taking a look at multiple precedents. By observing how other designers incorporated certain elements, it inspired me to be more creative and technical with my design choices.

Project #7 “Space Program” - I learned of the process of developing a well thoughtout spatial progam for certain zones of our homes. I was able to have a glimpse of the requirements needed to understand the interaction between human behavior and the environment. I gained a better sense of realistic spatial proportions, especially how generous circulation impacts how a space feels, not just functions.

Project #8 “Space Design” - I learned how to refine my conceptual design by incorporating spatial sequence, light, atmosphere, and user experience into my massing model. Eventually turning my concepts into floor plans that reflect my architectural intent. I learned how to use lighting, proportain, and structures can create different perspectives our our study form.

Project #9 “Presentation” - I learned how to communicate my design to others by developing rendered perspectives and incorporating elaborate models and conceptual collages. Which went into presenting our final projects in a formal setting, where we had to articlate our design process and concepts.

Project #10 “VR & AR Experiene” - I learned how to view my work through the eyes of the user not just the designer by taking a look at how my design interacts with the real world. I gained a better understanding on using tools like VR and AR in order to develop well thought out design that takes into account the user’s perspective.

Project #12 “3 Hours observation” - I learned how to be patient with my observations and look at certain things with a different eye. I gained a better perspective of abstract art and that art is in the eye of the beholder.

Overall - Overall I had a great opportunity to develop a design that both works for me and functions in the real world. By Studying different precedents, creating a space program and design, communicating my work, and experiencing VR and AR I was able to gain a better understanding on how the design process works, and all that goes into developing a well thought out design.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- I would tell my past self that it gets better, that once you learn to push through, the process of designing becomes an enjoyable experience that will help you in the long run.

What I learned...

Project #6 “Precedent Study” - In this project, I studied different building types to understand how it was made and why it worked. I learned how to look closely at the layout, materials, and the way people move through the space. It helped me realize that every design choice has a reason behind it, and that good spaces are created by understanding how people live and move.

Project #7 “Space Program” - This project was about planning what kinds of rooms or spaces were needed, and how they should connect. I had to think not just about shapes or styles, but what the space would be used for and by who. It made me more aware of how important it is to think about the user’s needs first before drawing or building anything.

Project #8 “Space Design” - This was when I finally got to create my own space using what I learned. It was exciting but also challenging. I had to make a lot of changes and try different layouts. I realized that design is not just about what looks cool—it’s about how it feels to be inside and how everything fits together. This was when I started really thinking like a designer.

Project #9 “Presentation” - In this project, I had to explain my design clearly using drawings, models, and words. It wasn’t enough to just do the work, I had to show and tell why my design made sense. I learned how important it is to communicate your ideas well, and how a good presentation can help people understand and connect with your work.

Project #10 “VR & AR Experiene” - Trying out my space in virtual reality and augmented reality helped me see it in a new way. It felt more real than just looking at a drawing. I could walk around in the space and notice what worked and what felt off. It helped me think more about the user’s point of view and how to design spaces that feel good to move through.

Project #12 “3 Hours observation” - For this project, I spent three hours just looking at one piece of artwork. At first, it was hard to stay focused for so long, but the more I looked, the more details I noticed things like colors, shapes, and how the artist used space. It taught me to slow down and really observe, which helped me understand how powerful small details can be in creating meaning and emotion in art and design.

Overall - Over these five weeks, I learned that design is not just drawing cool buildings it’s about problem-solving, thinking about people, and constantly improving your ideas. Each project built on the last one and helped me grow more confident. I also started to trust my instincts more and saw how my ideas could really turn into something real.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- “Don’t be afraid to try new things, and don’t worry if your first idea isn’t perfect. Every step you take helps you learn. Be open, ask questions, and keep pushing your design forward. You’re going to surprise yourself.” Overall “stop trying to be a perfectionist, you will make mistakes and improve along the way.”

PROJECT #7

Space Program 0. Scenario

1. Entrance + Toilet + Bathroom + Landscape Students will initiate the process of designing their home at 601 W Center St by developing spatial programs for the Entrance, Toilet, Bathroom, and Landscape zones.

The goal is to connect precedent knowledge with personal lifestyle, body measurements, and everyday behavior. This task helps students define and visualize personalized spatial needs, and generate five spatial layout variations per zone that balance design logic with individual experience.

By decomposing daily routines, required furniture, and spatial requirements, students will gain insights into how environment and behavior interact, allowing them to design spaces that genuinely support daily life.

2. Floor Plans + 3D Students will transform their concept model into clearly articulated floor plans and further refine the Rhino 3D model to reflect architectural intent. The goal is to define programmatic zones, circulation, wall thickness, openings, and spatial proportions while maintaining conceptual clarity. Plans and 3D form must work in parallel to ensure consistency between design logic and space usability.

3. Elevations & Section Students will generate elevation drawings and section cuts from their updated Rhino model and finalized plans to study vertical relationships, facade expression, and interior–exterior transitions. This will help articulate how the house presents itself spatially and formally, as well as how light, proportion, and structure are resolved across different views.

4. Perspectives (Form + Lighting Only) Students will generate and compose perspective views to study form, massing, and lighting qualities without applying material finishes. The goal is to visualize spatial atmosphere, shadow patterns, openness/enclosure, and user scale using clean geometry. This exercise will deepen students’ spatial intuition and provide visual feedback for further refinement.

5. Materials, Finishes, and FF&E (Render final perspectives) Students will complete final atmospheric renderings by applying materials, lighting, and FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) into the previously prepared Rhino model views. The goal is to communicate design intent and emotional quality by combining light, color, texture, and spatial use in realistic visualizations.

2. Spatial User Analysis

1. Body-Centered Design Your design decisions respond directly to your physical dimensions and daily rituals.

Action Spatial Implication Sitting to remove shoes Bench height at ~6” needed near entrance Brushing teeth or grooming Mirror mounted at 5’3” eye level Reaching for hooks and switches Functional height of 5’8” ensures accessibility Shower movement 2’8” turning radius requires a non-cramped stall Dining & lounging Comfortable sitting height (~1’4.5”) informs furniture and legroom spacing 2. Routine-Driven Spatial Flow The layout reflects your personal rhythm and daily transitions.

Time of Day Activity Sequence Design Features Morning Enter → remove shoes → place items → move to kitchen/living Buffered entrance with storage + clear path Midday Use living or outdoor space for study, relaxation Natural light zones, cozy seating, flexible use Evening Shower → self-care → quiet retreat → watch TV or host guests Bathroom retreat feel + multi-use living room 3. Emotional & Sensory Goals Your spaces are designed to feel emotionally resonant and supportive.

Zone Emotional Atmosphere Design Responses Entrance Calm, Welcoming Archway transition, natural light, seating, visual privacy Bathroom Retreat, Spa-like Dual lighting (natural + dim), walk-in shower, scent and sound control Living Room Cozy, Social, Relaxed Dimmable lights, sectional seating, visual warmth Landscape Refreshing, Natural Shade structures, layered greenery, fairy lights, pet space 4. Privacy vs. Openness Spatial thresholds create clear zones for comfort and function.

Threshold Type Example Effect Physical Archways between entry/living/bedrooms Defines zones without closing them off Visual Buffered entry views, partial enclosures Maintains dignity, avoids direct exposure Symbolic Shaded paths, framed views outdoors Builds narrative of arrival, movement, discovery 5. User-Centered Landscape Interaction Outdoor design supports movement, comfort, and personal connection to nature.

Activity Design Strategy Hosting & lounging Deck seating with canopy, view toward trees Gardening & pet play Flexible path layout, tool shed, hose, and leash access Sensory experience Use of mulch, stone, and soft lighting for tactile richness 6.

What I learned...

Project #6 “Precedent Study” - During our time working and studying different precedents, I found it to be an opportunity to learn how to slow down and pay closer attention to details and making intentional decisions. Researching the origins, processes, and design strategies of these precedents, I was also able to gain an understanding of my own design style, likes and dislikes. Each precedent provided me a different point of view on architectural styles and decisions, opening my eyes for further exploration through this semester.

Project #7 “Space Program” - This project also taught me the importance on slowing down and creating intentional decisions. We learned how to make meaningful iterations and that your first idea should almost never be the one you settle on. The process of iterating is just as important as, or even more so, than every other process through out design work. While during our crunch for time of a summer, iterating sometimes felt draining and like a waste of time, I quickly learned the true importance of testing out different versions of your ideas and intentions and the wonderful outcomes that can come from such.

Project #8 “Space Design” - Throughout this project, we continued to iterate and experiment with different layouts and flows within our spaces.

We also used tools to begin to understand the true feeling and weight within our spaces, playing with different lighting, materials, and furniture aspects. This project taught me, again, to never settle with your first idea or inspiration, to always continue editing and making your work better. That there are always aspects that can be changed and tweaked to make the design even more accurately portray your design concept.

Project #9 “Presentation” - During our final review portion of this semester, I was tested in many ways and learned a lot about myself in the end. It pushed me outside my comfort zone and made me a stronger person because of it. I learned to always be confident and true to your work, and to always have a reason and intention behind every aspect of it. While I did feel extremely rushed in the process of creating my own house design, it ultimately taught me to be confident and intention in all of my work despite certain outside factors making it difficult.

Project #10 “VR & AR Experiene” - Working with VR and AR tools to further explore the house I created, I learned that there are wonderful tools at our advantage to continue using in the design process in the future. Having these virtual experienes within my space further allowed me to understand the true feeling my space created and how well it was able to portray my design concept. These tools will be helpful in the future to use throughout the design process to ensure I am staying on the right track in being aligned with my initial concept.

Project #12 “3 Hours observation” - This project truly taught me the power of patience. While I sat and observed the same piece of art for three hours straight, I was tested in many ways. From staying focused, exploring my thoughts deeper, and finding a meaning within the piece I can truly say I had never examined a work of art this closely. It ultimitaley taught me to “stop and smell the roses”, that even a piece of art that initital just looks like random brush strokes, still has incredible intention and a deeper meaning.

If we look close enough, a deeper meaning can always be found within something.

Overall - Overall this semester I learned to push through difficult times and to continue believing in myself. The transition from first to second semester this summer proved to be difficult for me, with switching locations and sitting in a new section of people. I often found myself growing with frustration this semester although that showed me truly how much I care about this field. I believe that if I didn’t truly want to succeed in this, I wouldn’t have such strong emotions when completing each step of the process. While this shows a form of character for myself, I did learn that this is also not always a positive aspect. Throughout this stressful and intense field, it is truly important to keep a calm and cool mind and to always believe in yourself.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- If I could talk to myself before these five weeks began I would tell myself to coninue being confidence. I would say that is something that changed within me transitioning between semester, the amount of confidence I exuded. I feel as though I got comfortable this semester and in a way believed in myself slightly less. I would tell my five week ago self to remain at that great level of confidence because you can achieve anything if you believe you can. Look at us now...we completed 151 summer studio!

The overall organizational strategy for the house centers on balancing inviting, open public areas that encourage gathering and connection with discreet, private retreats designed for comfort, personal expression, and recharge. This is supported by an emphasis on natural light, efficient functional zones, and seamless transi-

Design Concept Statement: The goal of this project is to cultivate a home that feels comfortable and inviting to anyone that walks through the doors. This is achieved by bright, engaging natural lighting, soft textures and fabrics, and strong, sharp angles throughout the space. Soft, bright colors and comfortable textures are balanced with a clean, sleek aesthetic, incorporating elements like plain white countertops and lighter hardwood floors. The flow of the space is natural and intuitive for individuals to feel comfortable as if they are right at home. I also wanted this space to be easy and ideal for myself to nativage through. I made it a priority to visually represent the division between the public and private zones of the house. While I love hosting friends and family, it was also extremely important to have my own space that is just for me. The private zone of the space acts as a sort of sanctuary for myself. This spatial strategy focuses on a smooth transition from a comforting, enclosed entrance into larger, open living areas, ensuring visitors feel at ease and eager to explore the home. The combination of comfortable, rounded furnishings with sharp, rectangular elements further reinforces the sophisticated yet inviting design.

What I learned...

Project #6 “Precedent Study” - During this project, I was able to learn and understand how the categories from Session 1 played a roll in successful projects around the world. I was able to see how these different space created an interesting overall composition. I was then able to take these learnings and apply them to my own interpretation of my ideal space.

Project #7 “Space Program” - This assignment allowed for me to put my learned information from the precedent studies into practice by allowing me to be creative and test out different spacial compositions. I was able to figure out what I needed and wanted in varying spaces throughout my designed home. I was able to find iterations that boosted productivity, mood, or relaxation depending on the room.

Project #8 “Space Design” - This assignment allowed for me to grow my skills in Rhino, AI, lighting, and materials. I learned how to make the base in Rhino and use the image to create my true version by using AI tools. Photohshop is also a helpful tool that I was able to gain a better understanding of.

Project #9 “Presentation” - During my presentation, I realized how much I had immersed myself into the process of creating this home. I felt confident about my ideas and was able to learn a lot based on the reviewers’ comments. While there are things that I would change for the following reviews, I am proud that I was able to pin-up every assignment and confidently talk about my work.

Project #10 “VR & AR Experience” - For this assignment, I learned how drastically AR and VR can change the feel and look of my project. I learned more about these tools and how to apply them.

Project #12 “3 Hours observation” - This was a more difficult assignment for me because it forced me to find observations that I would have not normally found. I found that through this assignment, I was able to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the piece that I would have not gained otherwise.

Overall - Overall, I am so proud of myself for completing each task to the best of my current ability. I feel like I learned so much and I feel confident that my abilities will only grow from here. I know more about different homes and what makes them so successful and I also know how to apply these successes to projects of my own.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- I would tell myself that these five weeks would be so much better than the first five weeks because of how much I had learned previously. I would explain that while these next five weeks are difficult, they are so much more enjoyable.

PROJECT #7

Space Program 0. Scenario

1. Entrance + Toilet + Bathroom + Landscape Students will initiate the process of designing their home at 601 W Center St by developing spatial programs for the Entrance, Toilet, Bathroom, and Landscape zones.

The goal is to connect precedent knowledge with personal lifestyle, body measurements, and everyday behavior. This task helps students define and visualize personalized spatial needs, and generate five spatial layout variations per zone that balance design logic with individual experience.

By decomposing daily routines, required furniture, and spatial requirements, students will gain insights into how environment and behavior interact, allowing them to design spaces that genuinely support daily life.

2. Floor Plans + 3D Students will transform their concept model into clearly articulated floor plans and further refine the Rhino 3D model to reflect architectural intent. The goal is to define programmatic zones, circulation, wall thickness, openings, and spatial proportions while maintaining conceptual clarity. Plans and 3D form must work in parallel to ensure consistency between design logic and space usability.

3. Elevations & Section Students will generate elevation drawings and section cuts from their updated Rhino model and finalized plans to study vertical relationships, facade expression, and interior–exterior transitions. This will help articulate how the house presents itself spatially and formally, as well as how light, proportion, and structure are resolved across different views.

4. Perspectives (Form + Lighting Only) Students will generate and compose perspective views to study form, massing, and lighting qualities without applying material finishes. The goal is to visualize spatial atmosphere, shadow patterns, openness/enclosure, and user scale using clean geometry. This exercise will deepen students’ spatial intuition and provide visual feedback for further refinement.

5. Materials, Finishes, and FF&E (Render final perspectives) Students will complete final atmospheric renderings by applying materials, lighting, and FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) into the previously prepared Rhino model views. The goal is to communicate design intent and emotional quality by combining light, color, texture, and spatial use in realistic visualizations.

What I learned...

Project #6 “Precedent Study” - I learned the importance of studing other architectural pieces and learning from them.

Project #7 “Space Program” - I learned how crucial the process of background research is when designing for a client.

Project #8 “Space Design” - I learned that iteration is an extensive process and that a design may later greatly from its original form.

Project #9 “Presentation” - I learned that confidence is key in presentation. Your ideas dont sell themselves, you need to be able to.

Project #10 “VR & AR Experiene” - The process of visualition is key when designing a fully proportional building.

Project #12 “3 Hours observation” - Patience is a learned virtue that can be used as an asset throughout one’s life.

Overall - The process of design is immensely extensive, the proces is one that seemingly never ends.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- Work the full day and sometimes even nights, when you leave work for later its always you who has to complete it.

What I learned...

Project #6 “Precedent Study” - By working on the precedent study I was able to learn what I like and dont like when it comes ot interior and exterior architecture.

Project #7 “Space Program” - During the Space design probram I furthered my knowledge on the basics of a space. How much area you need to freely move around without feeling constrained, but balancing not makign your space to large and void like. Measurments really came into play here.

Project #8 “Space Design” - When designing my space I was able to learn so much about prober lighting and how differetn materials can greatly inmact the mood of your space. Brighter colors and more natuiral light created a much more inviting fun space for my home in particular.

Project #9 “Presentation” - Preparing my presentation I leanred the importance of time managment. Having all my work complete and extra time to go back and make any last minute revisions was crucial for my process. As for the actual presentation, I learned that other peoples opinions can be so helpful to develope your design and that you dont alwasy have to agree with their opinions on your home, but its nice to get others insight.

Project #10 “VR & AR Experiene” - Through the AR and VR experience I was able fully experience my home asthough its already been build, which really brought my ideas to life and allowed me to realize what could be chnaged to improve the basics of my home.

Project #12 “3 Hours observation” - During my observation time I was able to realize the importance of taking extra time to observe. During this extended time you are able to make realizations not possible if you only sit there for a few minutes.

Overall - I was able to learn an incredible amount! What I leanred most is that your ideas are just as important as your craft. You need to take equal time coming up with a unique and fun ideas as you do to bring the ideas to life.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- I would tell myself to stay strong, I know youre tired but the next 5 week will be so rewarding at the end. Keep killing it!

PROJECT #7

Space Program 0. Scenario

1. Entrance + Toilet + Bathroom + Landscape Students will initiate the process of designing their home at 601 W Center St by developing spatial programs for the Entrance, Toilet, Bathroom, and Landscape zones.

The goal is to connect precedent knowledge with personal lifestyle, body measurements, and everyday behavior. This task helps students define and visualize personalized spatial needs, and generate five spatial layout variations per zone that balance design logic with individual experience.

By decomposing daily routines, required furniture, and spatial requirements, students will gain insights into how environment and behavior interact, allowing them to design spaces that genuinely support daily life.

2. Floor Plans + 3D Students will transform their concept model into clearly articulated floor plans and further refine the Rhino 3D model to reflect architectural intent. The goal is to define programmatic zones, circulation, wall thickness, openings, and spatial proportions while maintaining conceptual clarity. Plans and 3D form must work in parallel to ensure consistency between design logic and space usability.

3. Elevations & Section Students will generate elevation drawings and section cuts from their updated Rhino model and finalized plans to study vertical relationships, facade expression, and interior–exterior transitions. This will help articulate how the house presents itself spatially and formally, as well as how light, proportion, and structure are resolved across different views.

4. Perspectives (Form + Lighting Only) Students will generate and compose perspective views to study form, massing, and lighting qualities without applying material finishes. The goal is to visualize spatial atmosphere, shadow patterns, openness/enclosure, and user scale using clean geometry. This exercise will deepen students’ spatial intuition and provide visual feedback for further refinement.

5. Materials, Finishes, and FF&E (Render final perspectives) Students will complete final atmospheric renderings by applying materials, lighting, and FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) into the previously prepared Rhino model views. The goal is to communicate design intent and emotional quality by combining light, color, texture, and spatial use in realistic visualizations.

What I learned...

Project #6 “Precedent Study” - I learned how to research in a way where I gained valuable information that would be useful to me in the future Project #7 “Space Program” - This project improved my iteration skills. It helped me practice creating different ideas and not sticking to the first one Project #8 “Space Design” - Through this project, I gained a stronger understanding of line weights, scale, elevations, etc. It improved my drafting skills and computer skills in the softwares we use Project #9 “Presentation” - I was introduced to an architectural critic and have an understanding on what makes a good presentation.

Project #10 “VR & AR Experiene” - Using VR and AR introduced me to the idea of online tools providing 3D visuals in the architectural world. It showed me how to use these tools to visual my project Project #12 “3 Hours observation” - The 3 hour observation refined my writing and observational skills. I learned to pay attention to the most minor details to fully appreciate a painting or any other visual Overall - I refined the drafting skills that I was introduced to my first semester of school. In these 5 weeks, I practiced drafting, model making, and research, helping me gain a better understanding of what a project would typically look like in the field.

I improved upon my online modeling skills and practiced on other softwares.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- I would tell myself to think ahead of designs that I want to incorporate or don’t want to incorporate. I had a hard time visualizing my house because I didn’t think ahead and I believe having a sort of direction would have resulted in a stronger design.

1. Occupant Interview Sheet Topic Interview Insight Summary Daily Habits The user returns home and places keys/bag/leash at the entrance, washes hands in the bathroom, and relaxes in the living room. They use the outdoor space at least 3x/week, and cook daily. Their dog is present throughout these routines.

Emotional Goals Spaces should feel calm, welcoming, and cozy, with a strong desire for natural light, views of landscape/nature, and privacy in key areas like bedroom and bath.

Spatial Preferences Prefers open, breathable layouts inspired by precedents (Casa de Vidro, Villa Mairea), physical thresholds between public/private zones, and clear circulation paths. Values efficient layouts with storage.

Material + Sensory Preferences Enjoys wood, stone, tile, and textured yet cleanable surfaces. Wants soft light in the evening, natural light in the morning, and nature sounds/ music. Scents and air quality matter.

Pet Integration Dog impacts many spaces. Needs leash zone at entrance, soft resting zone near couch, outdoor area to play and be washed (in laundry room). Circulation and sightlines account for pet mobility.

Design Influences Inspired by: Villa Mairea, Eames House, Casa de Vidro, Bavinger House. Key takeaways include: integration with nature, natural materials, spatial flow, and lighting

What I learned...

Project #6 “Precedent Study” - This project opened my horizons to all of the different possibilities when it comes to constructing a home. As I went through the precidents, I understood how spaces work in comparison to the structure of the home. I also got many ideas to use when it comes to my house. Furthermore, these were very useful in getting the best ideas for my home to be the most functional.

Project #7 “Space Program” - This project consisted of making iterations of each room in order to find the best match for the house. I was able to expierement with different styles to see how they worked with the space. This helped give multiple ideas for the space overall, and ideas I can use in future spaces.

Project #8 “Space Design” - I learned how lighting, elevations, perspectives and more were helpful in showing the client the design process. Picking out textures assisted the space and how it flowed throughout the rooms. This also gave me a realistic view of the space, picking what landscape and furniture I wanted to include.

Project #9 “Presentation” - My work in project 8 was finalized and fixed to work best in the presentation, this consisted of my elevations, sections, perspectives, floorplans, and site plan. I was able to successfully present my work the the architects and give them an idea of how the space would turn out in the end.

Project #10 “VR & AR Experience” - The VR and AR expierence was something I had never done in a space before, like looking at it through the times of days and standing outside next to my home. I was able to see how it would look in real life. There was many different ways to use the programs which could be useful in future projects.

Project #12 “3 Hours observation” - During the semester we took a trip to crystal bridges museum, which we sat in front of a piece of art and understood the meanings behind the work. This was very interesting because the research before the and after seeing the piece gave me a different perspective. I think this was useful and super interesting as something I would do again in the future.

Overall - This semester helped me learn so much more than imagined, from looking at precidents to creating my very own home through what I learned. I enjoyed how custom this was and how my house turned out in the end. These projects were enjoyable and allowed me to get better at all the softwares used along the way. I will definitley use the skills I have learned in my future projects at the Faye Jones School.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- There are going to be long nights that are stressful, but if you keep pushing and doing your best, you will truly be proud of all the work you accomplished. Seeing how much we were able to do in 5 weeks is amazing, and the work is worth it in the end.

3. Design Persona

Name: Jasmine Sukhija Location: Fayetteville, AR Design Focus: Nature-integrated, emotionally resonant, and functionally intuitive spaces.

Core Values Comfort & Calm: Spaces should feel emotionally grounding, with soft lighting, warm textures, and natural materials like wood and stone.

Nature Connection: Large windows, framed views, and outdoor integration are essential. Landscape is not just a backdrop but a daily experience.

Privacy with Openness: Prefers visual thresholds and semi-private transitions—spaces should feel open but not exposed.

Routine-Driven Design: Layouts are shaped by daily rituals—morning skincare, evening showers, pet greetings, and solo reading time.

Personal Touches: Decor, scent, and lighting are used to express identity and mood, especially in private and semi-private zones.

Design Preferences Entrance: Semi-enclosed with natural textures and a visual threshold. Prioritizes flow, pet interaction, and storage.

Bathroom: Spa-like retreat with skylights, warm lighting, and slip-resistant materials. Evening use is key.

Living Room: Social and solo zone with layered seating, built-in shelves, and natural light. Must support multitasking.

Kitchen: Open-plan with island, task lighting, and efficient appliance layout. Cooking is both a joy and a daily habit.

Library/Study: Quiet, expressive space with dark wood, ambient scent, and flexible seating. A place for focus and reflection.

Guest Room: Clean, welcoming, and simple. Prioritizes comfort and subtle hospitality.

Landscape: A visual and sensory extension of the home. Trees, flowers, and water features are essential for emotional well-being.

Re e ce Wal ker Por tfol i o

What I learned...

Project #6 “Precedent Study” - This project taught us how different design elements and spaces can be put together in order to create different feelings throughout different spaces. We were able to see many famous houses that use creative and practical design methods in order to understand how we might build our houses.

Project #7 “Space Program” - This project taught us how to create different spaces that fit ourselves, our site and our needs. We created all the rooms in our houses and used different ideas and techniques we gathered from the precedent studies.

Project #8 “Space Design” - This project we put together our houses and learned how to correctly draw out our floorplans, elevations and sections as well as we rendered images to show different materials we wanted.

Project #9 “Presentation” - This project was our first time having a final review. We put together everything we had been working on and presented our designs to architects. This taught us the importance of being really sure and proud of your design and how to take different critiques and ideas back to finalize our designs.

Project #10 “VR & AR Experiene” - This project had us take our houses and put them into VR and AR. This taught us how important and useful these tools can be for showing our designs to clients and trying to explain our ideas to them.

Project #12 “3 Hours observation” - This project taught us the importance of observation and patience. We observed a painting for three hours and learned how much our perspectives change when we take the time to really sit with the painting.

Overall - Overall, we learned what all goes into designing a space and creating a house that can actually be built and used. We learned different ways to iterate room ideas and choose materials as well as picking out things like how people will circulate our houses. All things we learned will help us when creating new spaces each time.

If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you?

- If I could talk to myself before these five weeks I would like to tell myself that while it is going to be the most challenging thing I have ever done, it is going to be worth it. I would say to put in the work and make sure that I am turning in work that I am very proud of and that I believe shows who I am as a designer.

PROJECT #7

Space Program 0. Scenario

1. Entrance + Toilet + Bathroom + Landscape Students will initiate the process of designing their home at 601 W Center St by developing spatial programs for the Entrance, Toilet, Bathroom, and Landscape zones.

The goal is to connect precedent knowledge with personal lifestyle, body measurements, and everyday behavior. This task helps students define and visualize personalized spatial needs, and generate five spatial layout variations per zone that balance design logic with individual experience.

By decomposing daily routines, required furniture, and spatial requirements, students will gain insights into how environment and behavior interact, allowing them to design spaces that genuinely support daily life.

2. Floor Plans + 3D Students will transform their concept model into clearly articulated floor plans and further refine the Rhino 3D model to reflect architectural intent. The goal is to define programmatic zones, circulation, wall thickness, openings, and spatial proportions while maintaining conceptual clarity. Plans and 3D form must work in parallel to ensure consistency between design logic and space usability.

3. Elevations & Section Students will generate elevation drawings and section cuts from their updated Rhino model and finalized plans to study vertical relationships, facade expression, and interior–exterior transitions. This will help articulate how the house presents itself spatially and formally, as well as how light, proportion, and structure are resolved across different views.

4. Perspectives (Form + Lighting Only) Students will generate and compose perspective views to study form, massing, and lighting qualities without applying material finishes. The goal is to visualize spatial atmosphere, shadow patterns, openness/enclosure, and user scale using clean geometry. This exercise will deepen students’ spatial intuition and provide visual feedback for further refinement.

5. Materials, Finishes, and FF&E (Render final perspectives) Students will complete final atmospheric renderings by applying materials, lighting, and FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) into the previously prepared Rhino model views. The goal is to communicate design intent and emotional quality by combining light, color, texture, and spatial use in realistic visualizations.
