This was my final project for my sophomore spring studio class. We were to adaptively re-use an old train depot and turn it into a gallery, residence, and studio for a Pacific Northwest artist. I chose the artist Dawn Emerson because I felt that her work meshed well with the historic nature of the building. My inspiration for the design was a cast-iron lamp that hangs in the depot. I loved the contrast between dark iron and the textured glass. When thinking about the lamp, the words contrast, unique, simple, and rhythm came to mind. My favorite part of this project was designing the gallery space. I had so much fun playing with the design of the art displays. To improve this project, I would definitely spend more time developing the residence. Over all, I am very satisfied with how this project turned out.
