Illuminated Shadow
For a showroom of layering structures, the amount of layering materials and the sustainability of material itself would be the first consideration. Also, lighting effect and transparency would be the key success to interior environments. In this project, theater scrim has been applied, achieving maximum of space effects with minimum material and econoomical expanse. The…

School of Design | Graduate Interior DesignStudents: Tianli Gu, Yanya MeiFaculty: Caleb Crawford This GIF is a computational fluid dynamics simulation visualization of our design strategy A. With the addition of reflective surfaces on the walls, the three main sound sources diffuse less throughout the rest of the space after multiple reflections. The acoustical environment…

During Unique Experiences
School of Design | Graduate Interior DesignStudents: Xinyue, Li, Nuo Li, Hanhui GuanFaculty: Michael Zuckerman The project proposes that to improve the lighting and acoustic conditions can greatly impact students’ human-comfort-related experience in the space. An axonometric diagram can better show the relationship between motion and space under new intervention. This intervention project is held…
