[PAST+FUTURE]

[METRO STATION]

The entry gates to the Metro, created by Hector Guinard, are an example of forward thinking design because they interact with numerous people everyday. They are structural monuments placed throughout the city of Paris clearly marking the points of entry to the Metro. Design of today should be more conscious of its environment as well as seek to thoroughly engage the people who come in contact with it. Because of the nature of the gates' use and their visual impact, I perceive the gates' to be as relevant now as they were when they were erected in 1900.

[HUMANITY]

I have come to realize that design plays a large role in our everyday lives. Design affects where we live, how we make breakfast, what we wear when we leave our homes, and so on. In order to lead comfortable, efficient lives design must be discovered, transformed, and perfected. As design students we have a responsibility to contribute to this cause by studying design's place in our lives and generalizing that notion so as to make it accessible to a larger audience. It is that large audience whom for which we should strive to design.

My Intent:
My sisters' house is to be a safe haven for those who are experiencing an upheaval in their normal lives. This space is to provide a place for deep analysis of oneself within the surrounding commnity and offer contemplatin of expectationsfor the furture. Also, transformation and further introspection will be key goals at my sisters' house.

Tutti Frutti's Intent:
Our design consists of communal areas connecting individuals to open spaces with bold statements through colors, materials, and innovative forms.
