Depot Poster

  This is the final poster for the depot design project. In the depot design , it adaptive reused old depot to the gallery, studio, and residence area for the artist. The entire project reflects the concept idea, which is from the photo of bench. Some places show the pattern and modular design that reflects the concept idea. Moreover, the entire space is detailed considered about the accessibility, and people with visual difficulty, also Egress requirement.
  "Sense of the place" is the base idea for me to design the adaptive reused depot. The entire space reflects the ideas of contrast, unity, dominant, variety, and harmony. One of the most important principles for the project is harmony. The harmony influenced the color, materials, form, and place. The beauty of harmony with the generation between old and new expresses the idea of "Sense of the place."

STIR Competition Poster

 

In this adaptive reused project for a local artist, the design reuses the historical depot for a residence, studio, and gallery. The gallery space design is the best design to express the concept of balance, dominant, and harmony. The gallery space uses Sherwin-Williams Show Stopper, Stolen Kiss, Indigo, Cut the Mustard, Peppercorn, and Origami White to create a triadic color scheme. These colors are  frequently used by the artist in the art creating harmony between the artworks and interior space. Moreover, the strongly Sherwin-Williams Cut the Mustard color wall, in the entrance, represents the idea of the dominant. The design focuses on “Sense of the place”, and retaining the feeling of the historic depot. Finally, the Origami White color created balance between other colors in the space. Altogether, the color use of this gallery design successfully reflects the idea of balance, dominant, and harmony.

Process Work

   This is the process work for the depot design. At the beginning, I tried to identify the concept and thinking about how to use the concept idea on my project. After that, I tried to do the bubble diagram and matrix for distinguish the space. Then, I started to design the actual space. Beside of the design space, I also design the bench and fire place with the concept idea: dominant, repetition and harmony. For example, the bench used the repetition for the circular form seating, and dominant metal frame in the center, and the material is harmony with the entire depot space. I think the process work is not less important than final work, these works are important to organize the designer's thinking.

Depot Model

   This is the model for depot design project. People can understand the space and the ceiling height easily through the model. In the model, I add many specific feature for my design. For example, the movable wall; I used wire in that wall, so it can really move. Also, I add the entrance wall that used the pattern design. Thus, these features can make people feel the space well.

Pattern design

      For my pattern design, I enlarged my original pattern that shows in last post. Through this pattern, it expresses the idea of dominant, repetition, and harmony. In the pattern design, I do not want it become too busy, and I want a strong, and powerful idea through the pattern. Also, the simple monochromatic color scheme make the unity for the entire design. So, people can see the pattern with entire, not individual.

Concept model

The concept model is a strong objects that reflect the idea of the object I choose as my concept. In this model, it incorporate most of ideas of the elements and principles. The centered black board represents the idea of movement from close to far, and the dominant feeling. The wood sticks represent straight line, unity, and repetition. Moreover, the coils represents the idea of curved line, and also the idea of unity and repetition. One more things that is represented by all these three is variety. These three parts are different materials, so in here I used the materials to express the idea of variety. Therefore, the concept model strongly represents the idea of the objects as well as the modular and pattern by incorporating the principles and elements.

Concept modular and pattern

       For my pattern design, I focused on the 3 concept: dominant, repetition, and harmony. In the first picture, it shows my modular, which is reflected the idea of the concept. And in the second image, it expresses the final modular that I chose. The black center line shows the idea of dominant; the red curved lines shows the idea of repetition; and the combination with the strong straight line and curved line creates the beautiful harmony. Moreover, the third pattern is created by combination of the modular. I put these modular in the circular form and show the idea of dominant, repetion, and harmony stronger. Also, the circular form creates the beautiful focus point on the pattern.
