SKETCH SERIES 4

DIGITAL LAB

a. The space's function is a computer lab.

b. The purpose of the lamps are for aiding in tasks. They illuminate the workspace.

c. Task lighting is located overhead. Additional lighting emits from the computer screens. Also, desk lamps are provided but are rarely used because the overhead lighting provides ample light.

d. No recommendations. I have always felt there is an adequate and appropriate amount of light for computer driven tasks.

----

a. direct/indirect

b. ceiling/suspended

c. fluorescent

d. extruded aluminum

e. fixture= litecontrol le-90

lamp= sylvania

f. direct/indirect, 32w, 2 lamps in each illuminaire

g. aluminum and brushed nickel

h. none

i. fixed

j. non-dimming, instant start, internal to illuminaire

k. dry

l. baffles

LEONES HAIR SALON

a. Leon's is a hair salon.

b. The two types of lighting within the space are task lighting and ambient lighting.

c. MR-16/task lighting is suspended from overhead. Additionally, there is cove lighting located along the perimeter of the ceiling that provides general illuminance and an ambient glow.

d. The space seemed a little dim for what I expected a hair salon would be. There was overall a good amount of general lighting in the space, but more overhead task lighting would help provide more light to the hairdressers who are focusing on cutting hair.

----

a. direct

b. suspended

c. mr-16/halogen

d. mirrored reflector

e. GE lighting

f. CBCP 525 lumens, 20 watt, 12 volt

g. metal and acrylic

h. acrylic

i. adjustable

j. non-dimming, instant start, internal ballast

k. dry

l. none

JIMMY JOHNS

a. Jimmy Johns is a restaurant where food preparation and dining takes place.

b. Most of the lighting within Jimmy John's was geared towards task lighting. Accent lighting was also seen along the ceiling, being focused onto walls. Hanging pendants over dining tables acted as both task lighting and ambient lighting.

c. In the kitchen and prep room, ceiling installed fluorescents provided an ample amount of lighting for tasks. Recessed can lighting can be seen directly above the countertop, illuminating the counter and service area. Track lighting helped cast light onto the surrounding walls, and pendant lights provided a nice diffuse glow over the dining tables.

d. Overall, Jimmy Johns was successful in using a variety of lamps to acquire the appropriate amount of light within the establishment. My only recommendation would possibly be to provide more light to wash over the wall, to further illuminate the space and accentuate the art work hanging on the walls.

----

a. direct/downlighting

b. ceiling/pendant suspending

c. compact fluorescent bulb

d. light fixture= extruded aluminum

e. light fixture= uncertain but close to Mulinello

bulb= bulbrama

f. each fixture contained 1 bulb, 40 watt, 2750 lumens

g. glass, red glazing

h. glass

i. fixed

j. instant start, internal to illuminaire

k. dry

l. none

LIght sketch series.2

For this assignment Corry mears and I chose to study fabrics that could be found in our studio space. We examined a blue cotton shirt, the fabric that runs on the wall along the digital lab that is used for pinning up, carpet found in the digital lab, and the leather upholstery on the natuzzi sofa in the library.

The light sources these fabrics were under varied. Cotton shirt was examined under the halogen lights found in the third year studio. These lights offered task lighting with a relatively low intensity, how ever with a high quality of color rending. Both the carpet and leather upholstery were viewed under florescent lighting. This was another type of task lighting. The pin up wall was viewed under MR 16’s. These lights also served as task lighting. They offered a spotlight effect that can be used to highlight work that is pined up along the wall.

After studying these lights under the lighting conditions we found them in we introduced an incandescent lamp to each of the surfaces. The cotton shirt, carpet and pin up wall were affected in the same way. The colors in the fabric appeared to be brighter and warmer. When introducing the incandescent bulb to the leather upholstery a harsh glare was produced]

When reflecting on this semester and my time spent in studio with Patrick Luaus and Claire Keen I can confidently say that I have grown as a designer, a student, as well as a person. Looking back on my original goals from the begging of the semester I have far exceeded my expectations of my self. One of the biggest goals I wanted to Focus on was Holism or the big picture of what I am designing. This semester I was able to Focus on interiors on a small and large scale. I also focused on finishing’s and furnishings and how the affected the spaces I designed. But most importantly I was able to evaluate how these finishes and spaces affected the overall building envelope.            

This semester also gave me an opportunity to better understand where I stood as a designer. It gave me a chance to re-evaluate what my strengths and weaknesses are.  I found that I am inclined to understand design in floor plans, sections, and elevations, which help me to push my technical drawings to a higher level of detail and accuracy. I was also able to develop my rending skill both by hand as well as digitally.  However I have learned that I fall short of what I expect from my self when it comes to expressing my ideas, weather it be verbally or written.  This semester was also team heavy, forcing me to approach design in a different fashion.  I felt that groups of three were best when approaching issues throughout the design process. This allows for ideas to be generated effectively without become overwhelming.  Even when our groups reached numbers of six and twelve I often found myself dividing the team up into smaller teams of three in order to accomplish task in the most efficient manner.

With this semester also being a writing intensive semester I was afforded the opportunity to develop my writing skills in a design setting. As a design student writing becomes an important tool to express the intent of a design to our peers and instructors.  Not only does strong writing communicate ideas to others but the writer as well. When in the early stages of designing a space writing can be an effective tool to help the designer organized and analyze ideas.

This semester has been a pivotal point in my education. I am confident that the lessons I have learned, as a second year will translate well to my coming years as a student as well as a professional. 

First year Reviews: Paige Hohlt

 

 After sitting in on the first year reviews this morning I was very impress with the level of detail Paige brought to the project. By incorporating level changes in both the floor and the ceiling, she brought a dynamic quality to the space. I was also pleased to see that she gave attention to the windows incorporating shades to soften the natural light. All of her drawings were very well done and her efforts and hard worked was clear in the work. The addition of a outdoor living space was also a highlight of the project, however I wish the concept behind the space was a little more visible in the drawings.  The only real critique I have is about Paige's project is her sections. I would encourage her to show exactly how the level changes in the ceiling actually look opposed to a thick black section line.  Over all I was very impressed.
