A Collection for One Person
Fall 2006
Professor Liliane Wong
The second project in the first graduate design studio, was the beginning of translating and updating the use and function of a given space.
Our site in the Waterman building is a study room immediately adjacent to the Nature Lab at RISD; a vast collection of bones, shells, seeds, as well as live and preserved animals.
The design was based on a collection of whale vertebrae, which when grouped together have the ability to be weight bearing and remain flexible.
The final design and model became about connecting the study room, via a series of vertebrae-like structures, to the surrounding spaces.
