What's it all about?


Our writing exercise today asked us to consider what our studio project means. What impact will this installation have on people that come to see it?

I think the point of this project is to acknowledge everyone in design, especially a demographic that would normally be over looked in our profession; those without shelter. We have to figure out how to make someone that doesn't have a home feel comfortable, both physically and emotionally. Things we have to think about are what will they be doing in the structure (in my group's case, sleeping) and how to make that experience better.

Its interesting to contrast this project with our last project from last semester, which was a residential kitchen for a celebrity. Although there are major differences between the two projects, the overall goal is the same. As designers we want to create a positive interior experience for the user.
