OTTO AUREK STEFAN

For this project, I contributed to concept development, 3D modeling, prototyping and model making.

Shown is a section of the green wall. Actual size is 8' x 12'

The green wall incorporates irrigation in the wall cavity. The individual plant modules are watered via a drip system

Planter box prototyping

Our design incorporated removable planter boxes that could be arranged in patterns and removed in the winter and stored in a greenhouse.

The plants grow on hinged, vertical planters that line the interior wall.  The planters can swing into the space creating study nooks.

My concept was one for the class selected, so as a team we focused on incorporating plants in a way that allows multiple functions within the space.

The space is covered, but open air, the concept incorporated plant life and furniture that could be customized by students.

The Marriott Art and Architecture Library reached out to year one studio classes to help generate ideas about a redesign of an unused space in the library.  The space would act as a place for art students to display sculptures and as a study area for University students.  We were divided into five teams based on five chosen student concepts.
