Interior Spaces for a Psychologist's Office

Description
This was a student project by Kevin Smith for Jonathan Novak's ARCH 241 course, Autumn 2004. This project involved designing interior space for a psychologist's office. The goal of this exercise was to create an interrelated pair of spaces through static and dynamic experiences. Using two equal cubes, the contrast of opposing experiences was applied to the psychologist's office. In the separation of spaces, the patient or applied space was considered as grounded or static. Inversely, the doctor's learning environment was subject to a more dynamic treatment. The final result combines a deeply carved, earthy patient space with an exploded, freeform doctor's space through adjacency with a neutral circulation path. --Kevin Smith This work is a part of the online collections of the Knowlton School of Architecture Student Archives, The Ohio State University. It is part of an effort to make accessible student work ranging from the first student that graduated from the program in 1903 to the present. The effort to preserve and digitize drawings in the Student Archives was sponsored in part by the Graham Foundation.
