The Moscot optical roots were first planted by Sol Moscot’s father Hyman. After his arrival from Eastern Europe via Ellis Island in 1899, he began selling ready-made eyeglasses from a pushcart on Orchard Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. After establishing himself in the neighborhood as one of the local opticians he rented a retail space at 94 Rivington Street in 1915.

Today, each of the three Moscot locations offer a selection of more than 1,000 frames from a wide variety of well known eyewear and sunglass designers, as well as a comprehensive inventory of contact and eyeglass lenses, and the company’s branded lines of glasses and sunglasses, the Moscot Originals and Moscot Spirit collections.

An visional Investigation about optometric design using the example of Moscot Glasses exploring such themes as form,human scale,curves,numbers as well as semantics which could respect the characteristic of the optometric design philosophy.

Every design problem begins with an attempt to find a fit between two entities: the form in question and its context (Gropius, 1935). According to Alexander, it is necessary to design with a number of “nested, overlapped” fonn-context boundaries in mind* The fit is “the relation of mutual acceptability between the two.” It attempts to put the context and the form into “effortless contact and frictionless co- existence.” (Alexander, 1964, p. 19)

For the purposes of this project it vms also important to note that the eye moves more comfortably along a horizontal axis than a vertical one. (Brooks & Borish, 1979) These considerations directly influenced the final design solution

ObservatiOns

MOdelAn 1/8 scale model built for design explorations

An 8’ long scale model is being completed to visualize the interior design of the bus. The model serves as a focus for discussion by the expanded CTA team consisting of managers from all areas of the organization. Potential floor plans, seating and stanchion details are made concrete and debated.

MOck upSimulations of user behaviors

Built in single day from stacking chairs, foamcore, blue tape, particle board, bar stools and a few print-outs the seating layout of the bus was defined. Upon review by the CTA senior team the seating plan was reconfigured to decrease bottlenecks and improve speed of service

SIMULATIONSDuel Entry Points

The Observations work emphasized the importance of reducing bottlenecks at the front of the bus and payment delays at each stop. What happens to length of boarding time and crowd distribution when passengers have the option to enter through the front or middle door? Again, this test entailed loading half the passengers �rst, so that a second half would have to load with people already settled on board.

FRONT

SIMULATIONSExits

To explore the e�ects of the new door on the exit experience, we asked the 20 settled passengers to exit the bus, once without dividers in the doorways and once again with dividers to gauge base exit times and the e�ects of dividers for managing exit �ow. Future tests may include exit without the use of the new door to better isolate the new door’s e�ect.

FRONT FRONT

SIMULATIONSSimultaneous Entry & Exit, With Dividers

The potential for entry at the new, second door also a�ects the exit experience. Likewise, entry at the second door might be disrupted by passengers that exit at the same time. Will the hoped-for time savings of dual entry be compromised? Will the dividers manage the �ow between them? Will exiting passengers choose the back door?

Mission

The Great Lakes hold 20% of the world’s fresh water supply and 95% of the nation’s »fresh water supply

Chicago is the largest city on the Great Lakes »

Chicago has the » responsibility to develop progressive policies for distribution and preservation of fresh water

Chicago has the » opportunity to infuse the presence of water into the cultural fiber of daily life in the city.

Through a system that promotes stainability and adaptation, water in Chicago will reinforce experiences of learning, culture and discovery. Experiences with water will connect both residents and visitors to people, the city and the environment.

Like Amsterdam and Venice, the identity of Chicago will be inextricably connected to water.

something for everyone.

Semantics

Geometry is the means with which we have provided ourselves for looking around us and expressing ourselves.,. geometry is the basis,.. It is also the material foundation for symbols signifying perfection, the devine. It brings us the lofty satisfaction of mathematics.

Le Corbsier, in Sparke, 1995, p. 1 13

CIRLE

The circle is a symbol of harmony and shelter. It repre-sents a protective space for freedom and privacy. Loaded with archetypical significance, analogies are often drawn between circles (and domes) and the shelter-ing roundness of the womb.

The clear geometric form is the one most easily comprehended and its basic elements are the circle, the square and the triangle. Every pos-sible form lies dormant in these formal elements. They are visible to him who sees and invisible to him who does not. Itten, in Whitford, 1984, p.106

CIRCLETWONESS

“The number two is always two ....”

anthropometry

Glasses have retained some of their original symbolism. They identified the intellectual - someone who read; if not a wise man, then a cultivated man. Their mask-We quality gave them power, creating mystery, dis-guise and even a little deception.

Other accessories can be deceptive; they can mislead even the expert on style ... but not glasses. Being mirrors they always tell the truth - a multifaceted truth made up of eternal myths as well as passing fads. Fashions in glasses are irresistible; since glasses replace the eye, their allure is, above all, a matter of enchantment. Morozzi, in Mazza, 1996, p.15

CURVES

Energy and movement were conceived through the large envelop-ing organic curves.The direction cunres from left to right which is considered a joyful mre whereas the Ieft-right curve is thought to be melancholic. This direction and movement guides the gaze towards the displays.

Slow compound curves are more like the muscles of a weight lifter - powerful, even ponderous and writhing when taken to exnemes.” ;a group of “too many curved lines, without the structural rigidity of straights tends to become sweet and sentimental.” (Barratr, 1980, p.200)

CURVE GLASSES

The objective of the shooting is to create a new branding campaign for Goose Island Beer Company. It currently caters to working class individuals, so in order to attract a more upscale audience, I depicted a more elite lifestyle. The key tones are irony and humor which created a subtle sophisticated persona. Bringing in the goose celebrates the brand of authenticity...while also suggesting fragility and whimsy.

A picture is worths thousand words.

Single images intrigue and leave people imagining. What is not included is just as powerful as what IS included.

Multi images explore ideas, feelings, and experiences on a deeper level. A plot set usually creates dramatic visual effect on the audience.

GOOSE ISLAND Rebranding ProjectStory Telling by Photography

Storytelling skills are becoming essential in a design proposal or project intended to convince or compel an action.

Storytelling including imagery engages both the teller and the audience. The storyteller creates the visual experience, while the audience perceives the message and creates a personal interpretation and emotionally responds to the images. Additionally, powerful imagery can transcend across many cultures.

BACKGROUND:Living in a primitive and isolated river valley, flanked by Gaoligong Mountain, 5,000 m above sea level, Dulong was one of the least populous of China’s 56 ethnic groups. The latest national census in 2000, showed that about 7,200 Dulong people were living across China. Of them, more than 5,800 were in Yunnan. The origins of facial tattoos among the Dulong women are unclear. Some claim they were a reac-tion to assaults by a powerful neighbor tribe who enslaved the Dulong and abducted the women. The women were tattooed to make them unattractive to marauders. However, the old custom began disappearing,It’s said the group was only 38 left , rapidly shrinking year by year...
