A master’s degree in interior design is vital for developing the skills and knowledge for my goal of reaching a new approach to a modern interior design. The excellence and outstanding training of the Pratt Institute, in particular, would help forge a pathway toward the practice of Interior design that would enable me to truly express myself across a diverse network of Tibetan, Chinese and global communities. Through my study of interior design as an undergraduate, I had developed skills in problem-solving and accommodating individual preferences and desires. In growing into the world of interior design, I hope to expand beyond this narrow practice of finding solutions into the broader practice of shaping ideas and impacting others’ actions and thinking. This next stage of my graduate education, I believe, will guide me through a journey that will help cultivate a new way of architecture and interior design in a rapidly modernizing world.

FALL 22

ANDRESSA LOPES & SARAH HILL

REI KAWAKUBO’s restructuring of the human body through form-work and materiality are especially compelling while approaching the design for the fashion house’s new office space. The existing space, a straightforward segment of a nondescript floor plate with cylindrical columns and a structural overhead grid, provides a canvas within which the function of the office and playfulness of the brand can be expressed.

Design Concept

REI KAWAKUBO’s massively impactful fashion house, COMME DES GARÇONS, has recently chosen to open offices in Kyoto, citing its rich cultural history and pivot towards modern technology as a main draw for the brand. Kawakubo rose to international prominence through her fresh approach to femininity in fashion, traditional silhouettes, and structured garments. Rather than respecting the traditional female silhouette, Kawakubo successfully accentuated atypical areas of the body, effectively reworking our conception of the human form while maintaining a feeling of immense beauty and adding a rich playfulness. Her color palette includes shades of blacks and reds, but not without adding moments of intense color.

- Kyoto Located in the Kansai Region

- Population: 1.4 million

- Overall temperature between 9-32º C (48-90º F).

- Over 2000 temples and religious structures

While Kyoto was officially founded in 794, the 6th century Shimogamo Shrine confirms human activity in this area of Japan significantly earlier, with additional evidence of prehistoric human activity as well. Kyoto is a rich center of culture and history in Japan, being one of the longest standing communities in the country, even functioning as the nation’s capital for eleven centuries. While the government’s capital was moved to Tokyo in the 19th century, Kyoto is still known as Japan’s cultural capital.

The city was based on the logic of feng shui, with its many temples arranged to face south and organizing other buildings and city structures around them. Kyoto is known for its abundance of temples and has one of the highest concentrations of historic buildings in a Japanese city after being spared mass destruction at the hands of the United States during WWII. Modern-day Kyoto is a center for technology based industries and tourism. Large companies like Nintendo and Kyocera are headquartered here, blending with the abundance of temples and other historic buildings.

FLUID MOVEMENT

CORPORATEDESIGN

Brooklyn, NY

Design Concept

The concept of fluid movement is a synthesis and presentation of the graphic analysis and skills learned from the iconic design firm Work-ac. The use of gradient colors follow the movement of vertical and horizontal structure. This project is designed for the local community and aimed at community gatherings and play areas for kids. The design goal of this space is to create a space to relax and find moments of peace and joy and cope with post-pandemic anxieties. The use of fluid and geometric forms creates a movement and dynamic interior and exterior space. The openings in the middle floors smoothly harmonize the interior and exterior. The intended site is Namtso Tibet.

DYNAMIC PERSPECTIVE

CONCEPTUAL MODEL

Design Concept

The idea of dynamic intensity of the multi perspective is highly inspired by Borrormini’s false perspective and Zaha Hadid’s idea of multi perspective. Some of the physical wall panels create the change between visual 2 dimension to 3 dimensional interior space. Both physical models are based on multiple combinations of Borromini’s progressive perspective. In the model each vanish point is a key hot spot where communication starts. Dynamic perspective in architecture is about creating a sense of visual interest and movement and depth that engages the viewer and encourages them to explore and interact with the space.
