Capstone Project Part 1

Review Influences:
I am really interested in what David Rhorer is doing with downtown. The Perkins Rowe and Shaw center were both very intriguing to me. I like the small urban life that these two places seemed to bring out. I also hope to incorporate some of the lighting designs that were presented in the lighting presentation group.

In the past few years I have worked on a lot of projects dealing with residential, hospitality, and systems furniture. I would like to further expand my portfolio and add some other areas, but I would also like to do some more work in the hospitality area.


Identify Your Perspective:
I like to create clean cut designs that speak out with a hint of color. Generally my designs are a mix between traditional and contemporary in style.

I would really like to develop a small movie theater downtown. I believe it could help bring more people to the area and keep them there a little longer into the night. I would also like to have a small restaurant inside to help encourage the typical “dinner and a movie” concept.


Consider a Focus:
I am thinking about researching lighting and historic preservation. I think there is still a lot I need to learn about lighting and would like to help create the mood I am looking for through different techniques. Also, I would really like to fix up a building downtown to look like it originally did. After working on the Maritime I building last fall I have been interested in doing further work on preserving what was originally there. I really love the old architecture of downtown and would like to help preserve it for future generations.
