ARCHITECTURE

As part of my Design Village submission, my group found identity under our brand which played upon the name of the city and our site's hilly nature. The design found balance from the shed roof's shape and the accompanying secondary font. 

The competition required graphic documents as well as the completed lifesize structure to be eligible for awards. I was tasked with visually representing our building's form and design as well as its programmatic uses. Using a combination of adobe products, I mounted the graphics onto equally sized pieces of cardboard which tied the documents more clearly to our structure.  

Created for an architecture show and would be displayed across campus to promote the event. The show was centered around science fiction and its abstraction into architecture. The skyscraper contrasting with the motion sets the viewer into a world where things clearly don't work how they do here. By making the viewer pause to contextualize the image, it allows time for the viewer to read the minimal text which give a hint into the content of the show.  

Hiromi Fujii was known specifically for his experiments into gridded design in his quest to reinvent the special presence that had been growing in popularity throughout the end of the 19th century. His designs fell into early modernist movements where rigidity was seen as efficient and unbroken forms felt powerful. However powerful the modernist designs Fujii created were, they always remained too perfect and geometrical to fit with the spontaneous movement of human interaction. My appended image collaged some of Fujiis work into a gridded space and then allowed the shapes to flow into each other in a way that the pattern became organic. The more organic the future becomes, the more area for people to explore their creativity and unique passions.
