Concept Development

Inspiration Photo

Conceptual Design | Depot

The inspiration photo gave form to the idea Generator. The photo features the bricks found outside the Pufferbelly depot brought inspiration to this design. It displays the rich history of the site giving it a rustic appeal and through this telling the story of the structure. 

Final Parti

Textile

The inspiration Photo gave form to the final parti design through the communicated different range in line weights through the overlapping and organic shapes. These elements provide multiple dimensions to the design by adding depth and making a direct connection to the nature of the project. The original reasoning is the history of the site in the natural, historic Pullman setting. Through a process of mirroring this original parti vertically and horizontally this created the pattern that composes the pattern design of my project. The model originally was aimed to mimic the raw and rustic qualities of the bricks texture. A secondary intention was to reflect the fluidity of the transformation of the structure that is to be designed next and simultaneously correspond with the connectivity of the phases of the structure throughout time, in the past, present and future.

Final Model

Through this design process I have learned more about the importance of a well-executed idea being intricately incorporated through a design. After having exposure to the design process previously both abstractly and aesthetically and in turn I have adopted a new appreciation of the value of the design process.
