Project Description: The Discovery Hub is a product that was created through a studio partner project. The project was a collaboration between The Fishback Early childhood Education Center, the lab school at South Dakota State University, and Kodo Kids, an early childhood toy manufacturer based out of Colorado. The goal of the project was to create a stool that could be utilized by both the teacher and the students. The stool was designed utilizing the Reggio Emilia inquiry based learning pedagogy. Initial construction was completed by students, with final product professionally manufactured

by Kodo Kids. The final product has been featured by South Dakota State University, local newspapers, and OTA; a collaborative creative network

for Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The product was also presented at the National Association for the Education of Young Children Conference. We have received grant and scholarship support for this product.

Project Description: The primary goal for the design of an international hospitality experience is to create a space that allows guests, as well as locals, to immerse themselves in the local and regional culture. Understanding the local culture and subculture of the hostel location is pertinent to create a space that can be enjoyed by locals and guests alike. The overarching goal is to give guests the opportunity to fully engage in a new culture, while maintaining personal comfort. Ensuring that the overall design of the space encourages people to explore and gives them a positive international experience.

Hostel Design: Guest Rooms

Color Theory: Blue is good for the mind and body. It creates a calming effect.

Hostel Design: Grab and Go Cafe

Color Theory: Green is associated with Freshness and nature, which compliments the cafe space.

Hostel Design: Lobby/Reception, Communal Lounge on each floor

Color Theory: Orange is an active color that is associated with communication.

Hostel Design: Bar Design

Color Theory: Red is the color of energy and evokes excitement.

PLAYFUL Utilitarianism: Utilitarianism can be defined as, having regard to utility or usefulness rather than beauty,

ornamentation, etc. This concept was derived from research on the culture and design of Copenhagen. The research yielded the biking culture of Copenhagen and how prevalent it really is. In Copenhagen all of the bike paths are extremely colorful, utilizing this notion of vibrant colors and paths throughout the space will help to ensure that the design is both functional, yet still energetic.

Branding: For the International Hospitality Design project we had the challenge of creating a brand for our final product. Due to the emphasis on the biking culture of

Copenhagen the final hostel was named the Hub Hostel. The hub had a couple of different meanings in the project. First it was a play on words, a hub is

the center part of a tire. It also related to the type of space that was created, a gathering point for people to come together. The final logo was inspired by

the color theory of Copenhagen, as well as a reflection on the biking culture.

Concept Statement: To inspire the design, research that was conducted on computer science as a whole. This research inspired the metaphorical use of networks throughout the space. Specifically, computer networks That are made up of nodes, and these nodes are characterized based on the way that they communicate. This idea

that the nodes are categorized based on communication was incorporated into the design by categorizing different work environments in the same manner. Everyone in the work place works in a different manner, therefore creating spaces that are based upon communication works well for an office environment.

Utilizing the Herman Miller Living Office theory along with the formation of the nodes assured that there would be spaces conducive to all work styles.

Plain Green Junior Studio: Fall 2014

Concept Statement:The existing building is made up of two completely different bays that are built on two different lots. This interesting feature makes this building very different from other buildings in downtown Sioux Falls. At the time of construction the building was intended to be office spaces. Taking all of this information into

account the concept that was utilized for the Plain Green Community Center is Changing Perspectives. This concept worked very well for the community center because Plain Green is all about changing the way that people think and feel about sustainability. This concept also branched off from the origin of the building. Office buildings originally meant that everything was sectioned off, private, and enclosed. For the Plain Green Community Center I created a

space that is very open and flexible, thus completely changing the original intent for the building. By doing this the Community Center would stand out in

comparison to other buildings, thus drawing people in due to the very different nature of the design.

Project Description: The St. Ermins Hotel is located in London, England. This hotel is housed inside a historic building in the middle of all the major tourist attractions in London. The space must include at least two separate sleeping space, a full convenience kitchen, a dining space, a workspace, a wet bar, and at least one accessible shower. It is also important to make sure that there is enough storage in the space because the guests could be staying anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks.

St. Ermins Hotel SuiteSophomore Studio: Spring 2014

Concept Statement:For the design of the Hotel Suite in London, UK, inspiration was drawn from model building, existing architecture, and also precedent studies. For this reason the concept utilized for the hotel suite is Framing Views. While constructing models of what a hotel module could look like, a module was created that took advantage of the surround views by creating a panoramic view that could be experienced differently as a guest moved through the space. This idea of panoramic views played into the space planning and the orientation of the space in the hotel suite. Each space within the suite was framed around a different view of London. This helped the guest to be fully integrated into the city while they stayed at the St. Ermins Hotel.

Project Description: The Caxton Grill, located in London, England, is a historic four-star restaurant in the middle of the all the major tourist attractions in London. The Caxton is a great place for natives and tourists alike. Due to the historic nature of the buildings unique architecture this restaurant is very different from the rest. The renovation of this restaurant is important because there are many problems with the existing space. The designer need to address circulation, this space is attached to a historic hotel, therefore circulation is necessary. This space needs to seat anywhere form 70- 100 patrons, therefore efficient space planning is a number one priority.

Caxton Bar and Grill Sophomore Studio: Spring 2014

Concept Statement:Utilizing the intersection of old and new to create a diverse perspective. The complex contrast between the old historic nature of London and the building the Caxton is in with the new modern culture of London creates a space that is timeless and overall understood by all audiences. The intersection of these two individual styles will create a space that melds well with the existing hotel and the overall culture of London itself.

Corporate Childcare Center Sophomore Studio: Fall 2013

Project Description:Kaplan Inc. wants a new and unique childcare center in the middle of downtown Sioux Falls. As designers we need to satisfy the physical, social and psychological needs of children, alongside the functional and programmatic requirements of a business. Security is a major concern. The space must allow children to interact with light and shadow, reflection, and varying floor levels. Also children must experience transparency and enclosure, sense of prospect,

sense of refuge, and a sense of movement.

Corporate Childcare Center Sophomore Studio: Fall 2013

Concept Statement: The childcare center designed for Kaplan Inc. utilizes the Reggio Emilia philosophy. All the Reggio ideals directly engage the five senses, so by combining these Connection5 was discovered. Connection relates

to Reggio because of the way that people connect., Spaces connect, connection to the environment, and connection to the community. The senses come into play because Reggio encourages children to learn through their own discoveries, and for the most part children discover utilizing their 5 senses.
