c l e v e l a n d b o t a n i c a l g a r d e n architecture studio i : commerical

The Cleveland, Ohio area is in need for a new botanical garden with a lecture hall attached,for visiting speakers. The site was given and located on the Kent State University's southeast campus. After performing thorough research on the site and functions of a botanical garden, a concept was developed and a sketches were created of the projected buildings. With its unique and complex structure, the orchid flower's anatomy was the inspiration for the form of garden's exterior shape. The idea was to mimic the petal's multifaceted arrangement of the veins and skin. From a plan view, the roof of the garden and lecture hall display the petal's make-up in organic forms, using materials such as glass and wood. Also, the buildings were designed for the users to walk from the ground onto the roof of the garden.

fixture design : joann fabric and crafts stores

The Joann's Fabrics and Crafts' small format stores is in need of combining the cutting counter and the checkout register area due to the lack of attention an area might receive from the two employees on duty. The solution to this newly founded problem is a fixture in one vicinity, that can obtain both the tasks of cutting fabric and checking out customers. Adaptable pull-out cutting countertop register fixture was developed and created after thorough research, problem solving, and gathering of information. The new fixture derived from the concept of intertwining or weaving threads to make fabric to integrate the functions of the new fixture. In conclusion, the company would save about five hundred dollars per store and total square footage in the prototypes of Joann's Fabrics and Crafts utilizing this solution.

A previous project was given to use as a shell for the new design and it was reformed to what is seen to the right. The recreation evolved through the gathering of the knowledge and executing the concept in a sketch of the existing section. A linear or angular approach was taken to absratctly display the concept and have the building interact with its surroundings and climate patterns.

I am an enthusiastically driven, creative, and educated i n d i v i d u a l , who is inspired by nature's behaviors and functions.

I strive to mimic nature's characteristics by designing working interior spaces and being aware of area codes and regulations.

Researching, analyzing, and programming the information and technicalities of the space, to create an environmental friendly

solution is my goal as a designer. I want to form an interior that is aesthetically pleasing and technically correct for my clients

wants and needs. Being devoted and passionate, I am not a designer but I am an interior designer.
