IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE DESIRED CURATED LOOK, EACH ROOM WAS OFFERED MINIMAL FURNITURE WITH COMPLIMENTING ART SOURCED FROM THE CLIENTS’ PREVIOUS HOME. RENDERINGS AND ELEVATIONS WERE USED TO BRING THE PROJECT TO LIFE AS THE DECOR WAS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE FURNITURE LAYOUTS WERE.

THEME PARK ATTRACTION CATWALKS

DURING MY INTERNSHIP AT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, I TOOK ON THE TASK OF CREATING A STANDARD DETAIL DRAWING PACKAGE FOR THE MAINTENANCE

CATWALKS ASSOCIATED TO THE THEME PARK RIDES THAT COMPLY WITH OSHA STANDARDS. THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST DETAIL STANDARD TO BE PRODUCED BY THE “IN-HOUSE” UNIVERSAL CREATIVE TEAM, TO PROVIDE TO THIRD PARTY VENDORS AND CONTRACTORS IN ORDER TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY WHEN WORKING ON NEW PROJECTS OR UPDATING EXISTING PROJECTS, TO PRODUCE A CONSISTENT AND SAFE STANDARD FOR MAINTENANCE CATWALKS.

A-TYPICAL CATWALK

IN ADDITION TO TYPICAL CATWALK STANDARDS, I ALSO COLLABORATED WITH THE MAINTENANCE TEAMS FOR EACH RIDE TO SEE WHAT CAN BE IMPROVED WITHIN THE CATWALKS TO ALLOW PROPER MAINTENANCE, AND SAFETY. ONE OF THESE IDEAS WAS TO HAVE SLIDING DOORS WITHIN THE RAILS OF CATWALKS THAT HAVE PROJECTORS TO PROVIDE AMPLE ACCESS TO MACHINERY, THAT CAN CLOSE FOR FALL PROTECTION.

ALONG WITH THE PROGRAM FUNCTION, THIS PROJECT HAD AN EMPHASIS ON SYSTEMS INTERGRATIONS. SYSTEMS THAT WERE INTERGRATED INTO THIS PROJECT WERE STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS, WATER COLLECTION, ACTIVE AND PASSIVE COOLING AND A GRID THAT COULD COMBINE AND SUSTAIN THESE SYSTEMS WITHIN AN ORGANIC FORM SUCH AS THIS ONE.
