RESUME

The concept of this design came from the cuisine we decided to serve in the restaurant/night club. Molecular Gastronomy cuisine is now emerging in many countries. It is not only a type of cuisine, but also a form of art and design. A common technique used in molecular food is Spherification and you’ll have to break the sphere to get a taste of the food. Basically, molecular gastronomy is about breaking the form of food and transform it into something else. With this in mind, it inspired us to create a sphere structure in the interior which allows people to be in it. What makes the sphere so special is that it is the VIP lounge. The surface of the sphere is cracked all around the diameter to allow the VIPs to get a view of the dance floor from above. There are 5 more other VIP room in the club but not as special because the sphere is the focus. The 5 VIP rooms and the entrance is made out of cast plaster that takes the form of a cave. The idea is to create a space in which you’ll feel that the interior is being wrecked and the form is being damaged.

THE FREEHLING POTS & PANSThe Concept Original

Because the clients had been in Hyde Park for more than 40 years, I think it’ll be important to include the elements of the location in the design. Looking at the map, the first thing that caught my attention is the highlighted part- the main street of Hyde Park. Since the location is not far away from the Lake, I wanted to incorporporate the lake into my design, and also the greenery in Hyde Park. To me, the most important part in a store is where the register is be-cause that’s where people will have to go to before leaving the store; therefore, I based my design on the map and made the oval part the heart of the retail store.

DAYCARE CENTER A survey taken in 1988 asking adults about their feelings, emotions, and attitudes toward their home environments found a consistent theme that emerged from the interviews. The detailed descriptions people gave of the memorable places of childhood including childhood experiences of notable hiding places and child-created dwellings. It was concluded that children’s experiences with the environment play a significant role in their development. The goal in this pproject is to fuse the knowledge from research in various disciplines with the design recommendations specific to the educational approach of the center. The inspiration of this design came from nature. When I was a kid, I hate going to daycare center. Thinking of it now, I think it was because of the interior. Most daycare center is just a room filled with florescent lights and rows of chairs and table. If I designed a more lively space and bring in natural element, it might make the children feel more comfortable in it. The tree in the space is the focus point of the daycare center. I choose to put it there because it’ll allow the skylight to cast a dramatic shadow on the floor which is similar to being in nature. Not only can the children nap and play around the tree, but also to hang their artworks on the branches, symbolizing their growing and learning process.

The clients, Alex and Mac have bought a loft in midtown Manhattan, near the Empire State Building. The loft takes up the top two floors in an 8 story building. They want their loft to be an architectural statement, intelligent, and provocative while being very comfortable and inviting. Alex is a successful mystery writer. She is adjunct faculty at Colum-bia where she teaches creative writing. Mac is a very accomplished composer and musician. He specializes in musical scores for movies. He teaches master classes ar Juilliard. They hace two daughters, both studying music. The whole family are coracious readers and want as much library space as possible in their home. Not wanting to place a normal book shelve in the loft, I designed a stair which can be used as book shelves and also pedestals where Alex can display her art collection. The stairs is the focus point of the loft; it can be seen from all open space in the interior, both first floor and second floor.
