violence, drug addiction or homelessness.

women and children living in this space are

TOUCHDOWN

According to research, San Francisco

International Airport is the second largest

facility in the west coast and 22nd busiest

worldwide. The goal for this project is to

acknowledge the importance of networking

with cultures. SFO provides accessible nonstop

international routes, this allows fast and easy

travel for passengers. In order to communicatethe idea of networking, the interior architectural

structure is pointing to the 3 major continents

that SFO sends its travelers.This gesture of

pointing creates the notion of networking

and connecting with different places, hence

different cultures. The top left image is the

map containing the flight paths of 2014 used

to determine the 3 major continents. Based off

the flight paths, SFO sends its travelers to the

following continents: Asia, Europe and South

America.

The ceiling detail was used to define

the architectural design. It is composed

of series of linear lines are projected to

continents. After completing the exercise,

the lines were experimented with by

extruding and placing them on different

elevations. As a result, a ceiling detail

contains an interesting dynamic and rigid

look. Also, the inner walls were insured

to functional and delivering the same

language to the ceiling design.

In conclusion this touchdown is a solution

and design innovation that would suit

the needs of the SFO touchdown lounge.

The design not only contains interesting

architectural components but includesstate of the art technological equipment,

ergonomic furniture pieces, and suitable

work space.

SENSORY CUES: BE THE HERO (TEAM PROJECT: LILY YOU, NICOLE FURUTA, MARIO HERNANDEZ)

Sensory Cues: “An Active Learning Center for Visually

and Hearing Impaired Children”

Our space is aimed to refine the senses and skills

of these children in a fun and engaging way, just as

superheros must adapt and heighten their senses.

We want to improve the other senses these children

have so they won’t see their disability as a weakness

or disadvantage.

We organized the space by using colors drawn from

three superheros who have disabilities and used it

as a way-finding system through out the space.

Each space has an interactive sense wall that helps

the children to develop certain senses in fun and

engaging way. This element is another tool we used

for way-finding and room identity.

MOMENTOS

Jewelry has been used to mark special

events and occasions in a person’s life.

Whether the event is an engagement,

graduation, celebration the age of

adulthood or the birth of a newborn there

is a jewelry piece ready to memorialize theevent. Therefore the objective of this space

is to give its users the ability to capture

that moment in time that will embrace that

special event.

Thus the interior space was inspire by the

sundial. As the sundial casts a shadow

help determine the time of day, the space

is used to help the indivi duals find the

jewelry piece that suits their need. The

retail space consist of a cylindrical floor

plan and a centralized form that is both

monumental and functional. Inside the

form their will consist of display cases that

embrace the products and help assist the

user with capturing the moment they are

trying to convey. REFLECTED CEILING PLAN FLOOR PLAN PLANSCALE:NTS SCALE:NTS
