Interior Design Lecture Series - Architecture For Humanity

I believe I can safely say it would not be a unique statement to claim that the lecture with Cameron Sinclair, founder of Architecture For Humanity, which was presented to CCA this Fall was inspiring and heartwarming. The passion and care for humanity shared by Cameron's team of architects and interior designers was such a pleasure to hear about and see the work of. It instilled a deeper awareness that I have the power to work towards and affect, even in the beginning level of interior design, the lives of those around me and internationally. He made it clear to me that the environment I work to design has the power to benefit much more than the immediate lives it touches. The lecture has affected my goals for design beyond what I thought interior design had the power to do. Changing lives in the present can have an even greater exponential benefit to future lives and I am proud to be in a position where my education and career allows me to help in this beautiful cause and realization.

Final Review Photo Layout and Response

-Canopy only serves a single purpose. Consider it being smaller or scale it larger and engage it with the church's roof.
-Consider creating a jungle gym that serves the DHP and also the mission kids.
-The time discussing the sleeping area was less successful
-Should have discussed more about the arrangement of the programs in depth.
-Should look at the existing elements to improve rather than adding something new.

Final review

1. lost connection from the initial design strategy

2. storage can be shown more detail, such as storage item's dimension

3. sequence photo can dress more detail

4. the last layer of my hybrid drawing can be more precise

5. the jury likes that i move mission kids to church program so the DHP has their own space

Final review and comments

comments:
1.Need furnture for flexibility which is cool
2.Front people space where people can have conversation which is good, but can think about make an entrance ranther than just a passage way.
3.find relationship
4.think about they come from different experiences into design
5.show the main idea(big idea)

Final Review

Critique:

-Rigidity; allowing clients to form their own spaces and place a personal stamp on their surroundings. This could be better addressed. Perhaps by manipulating the storage wall. The idea of a large space is effective.

final revies

1, use model as a way to find problems, not just presentating.

2. drawings did not show space quality

3.think about other ways to arrange the beds

4.pull the idea of the continue lines to the whole site

5.the size of the bed

6.work more about space, not just objects.

Final Review Critique Comments and Wall Presentation Photo

The following are comments made during our Level 1 Studio Practice/Tools and Technology final critique as well as comments that I heard while sitting in on the junior final review.

1) Let your study models teach you about material durability, structural issues, and scale in relation to the body

2) Test and try design concepts beyond what you assume can or cannot happen/be achieved

3) Don’t be timid with your design, go big with your concepts carrying them throughout all aspects/programs of the building

4) Consider the individual requirement and use of space(s) as well as the collective use

5) Be wary of perception of how/what you think something works/is, versus actuality. Specifically, don’t get focused on the rhetoric. Your design, the drawings, renderings, sections, and floor plans should speak the most to your audience, not you.
