Cleveland, Ohio Professor Randy Doi

Fall 2015

Cleveland is a young and fast paced city. There are many

opportunities for young families and professionals. The city is

working toward a walkable urban environment; in turn moving

away from an automotive dominated city. The goal is to create

an environment to fit a variety of household sizes and attract

adventurous visitors year round. This idea takes advantage of

the active riverfront and the towpath. Cleveland lacks a direct

connection to the riverfront and has the potential to utilize it.

The urban dweller would enjoy a short commute to work and

their spare time living an adventurous life on the river.

Sleek

Night Stand Professor Jon Yoder Spring 2015

The night stand is a product of studying LA Modernism. The

aim was to create a sleek night stand that played on the mid-

century modern style. Consider most in this study was object

and void. Finishes were then considered in the sense of

contrast. Modularity was a large part in reference to the

modern style. All of the studies were made using the same

pieces in different orientations. The final constructed model

consider new technologies as a design tool.

Sandusky, Ohio Professor Charles Harker

Fall 2014

Sandusky has experienced a lot of issues pertaining to water

quality along with environmental related issues due to the

imbalance of the lake. Through design, a facility to improve the

quality of the lake and the adjacent areas is possible. The

ecology center incorporates a bioswale and a living machine to

enhance water quality. Educational programs and resources

are worked into the building to raise awareness of the current

environmental issues in a fun and intriguing way.

Congo, Africa Professor Chris Maurer

Summer 2014

This project aimed toward the expression of women’s

empowerment and pride in the Congo. The GMF school for

girls teaches young girls and women how to read and write.

They value literacy and an independent woman.

Textiles are a very prominent trade within the Congo among

women. These textiles tell a story or symbolize something of

value. A bird represents freedom.
