TAGGART STUDENT CENTER TAGGART

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project focuses on using research on biophilia, color psychology, and indoor environment quality (IEQ) to improve the current Taggart Student Center (TSC) Hub area on the USU campus. This research includes studies on which colors help students focus, how biophilia can impact IEQ, IEQ factors for work/study environments including space planning solutions, acoustic considerations, control and ﬂexibility in a space, creating work environments for different needs (i.e. quiet/focus vs. group/collaboration), etc. The results of this research are implemented in a hypothetical proposal of what the TSC Student Hub could look like, and how these changes could improve the work/study habits of students on campus.

MONET COTTAGE

Concept

The landscape of Alpine, Utah is ﬁlled with colors reminiscent of Monet’s most famous artworks. It is the ideal location for a French Cottage style home inspired by his work. This home takes elements from classic French Cottage architecture including a natural stone exterior, a steep pitched roof with multiple focal points, an abundance of small pane windows, & a large second level patio inspired by French balconies. The attached greenhouse and multitude of windows help to connect the surrounding nature to the interior of the home as an homage to the work of Claude Monet.
