CNNC Schematic Design

My intent for CNNC is create an environment inviting to the immigrants as well as a place for the CNNC staff. I wanted to keep all spaces as open as possible and allowing light to spread throughout. The layout of my floor-plan is categorized in different areas. I have a hallway for private and public offices. The large vault contains a multifunctional space that can serve different events. There is a storage room, large conference room, computer room and classroom on the back wall. I extended the glass wall to signify the feeling of openness as well as keeping the noise level controlled. On the left wall, i have a large window showing that it leads to the ramp which take you down to the lower level. The connector hallway is a place for gathering since it has 2 conference rooms, public restrooms and a classroom. It also is the entrance to the courtyard outside. Entering into the smaller vault, it serves as the training room. It also contains a storage room, classroom and community kitchen. I wanted do the same to this wall as in the larger vault with the glass extending to the ceiling. The colors i used were neutrals and i accented walls and furniture with green. I would use hardwood floors for hallways, the open vault spaces, and reception area. Carpet will be used in the conference rooms, classrooms, and private offices, tile would be used in the restrooms and the kitchen. Throughout this process, i feel that this space overall is an inviting space for CNNC.

CNNC schematic design process

First 4 Perspectives...Interim Critique Drawings


Connector hallway, includes the ramp, conference rooms and the public restrooms




The small vault will be used as the large training room as well as a kitchen, and classroom are included as well



Office hallway, allowing light to spread throughout the space using the horizontal banding of windows and the large glass pane doors


Perspective of large vault, leaving the space open allowing movement throughout this space.




















This was our first charrette for the CNNC project.  We had to design the front facade of the old Leon's Beauty Salon on West Lee Street.  I wanted to keep it modern by adding long horizontal windows but then i realized after this mini project, that it needs more character.  It seems rather boring and uninviting which is not what i want in the appearance of CNNC.




Schematic layout of the needs of CNNC

Sketching out sections and perspectives, figuring out where furniture will be placed.

Thoughts about the discussion Tommy and i had as well as keeping along with the power of the square, i sketched out an exterior front door to CNNC.

Reception desk, keeping my concept in mind but i had way too many squares going on in such a little space. I eliminated the desk squares when i did my final schematic design.

A section cutting through the training room and facing a classroom, kitchen and storage closet.

Styles in Graphic Design

Bauhaus
















The Bauhaus advertisement is a representation of abstract forms. The simple shapes, along with the 3 dimensional forms beside it, give it an off balance composition. The text allows your eye to follow the larger font then read the smaller fonts to see what it is all about. The colors are very basic, which gives does not attract the eye at first.


Pop Art



















This advertisement relates to pop art because of the use of color, text and format. The bold colors as well as the product give a since of playfulness to this ad. Line is used in this document by the way the text is lined up in the center. The font attracts the eyes and gives character to this composition. Andy Warhol is a great example of pop art.

Retro Modern



















Retro-modern advertising consists of strong images that are cartoonist or very animated. I chose this ad because the colors, objects and composition caught my eye instantly. The large swirly blue shape caught my attention and i felt as if i was reading a comic book as well as the text.


Nostalgic Remix



















This ad uses this kind of graphic design but only in the background and it is kinda hard to see. I don't know if this counts as nostalgic. The patterns in the sky of circles and other abstract forms make it a well working ad. The text is large to allow the reader to understand who and what is it representing. I also like the bright colors in this ad.
