SUMMER studio 18’

TAKE IT TO THE STREETS | OFFICE PART 1.

 

*This project is a continuation of STUDIO | POPPING UP IN CINCINNATI*

Jordan Moser, a young man from Cincinnati, was campaigning to become mayor of Cincinnati. The young man sought to change Cincinnati for the better, and to do so he needed a space where he could develop his strategy, meet with possible voters, and campaign.

Once again, we are focusing on the story of Jordan Moser and his campaign. Being that the political pop up campaign office was a success, it was now time to move into a larger scale format. Moser wanted to take his campaign even further by creating a political office where he and his employees could work, as well as meet with possible new members. This time, we were allotted 6,000 + square feet within the back area of American Sign Museum to conduct our designs. Being that we were utilizing an existing area we had to address the existing features of the space such as a structural ceiling system. However, besides that the space was completely up for interpretation.

My mind gravitated towards creating a space that offered areas for privacy while also allowing for public moments. Being that both employees and visitors would interact with the space on a daily basis it needed to be valuable for both parties. Thus, the political office design began.

CAMPAIGN

IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW TEAM MEMBERS

BIOS- REESE AND AVERY.jpg
 

Due to Moser’s campaign gaining momentum he added two new members to the team, Molly Reese (media & relations assistant) and Jackson Avery (campaign assistant.) Therefore, not only did there have to be space for Moser and Chaglen, now there had to be space for these two new assistants. With that in mind, I began designing my space with an emphasis on Moser and Chaglen while also highlighting Reese and Avery. Although they are assistants, they still have a profound impact on the well-being of the campaign.

ENTRANCE

The entrance area is kept very simple and minimal. A large screen behind the reception desk highlights the areas where Moser will be making an appearance or where campaign events will be occurring for that day.

WORK STATIONS

When designing work areas I sought to create a spaces that were strictly private in regards to sound and population, but were apparent in regards to sight. The goal was to create glass like “cubicle” offices that would allow workers to gather for meetings or to work alone.

Unlike standard cubicles which are solid, these are glass because I wanted visitors to see the kind of work that was going on so there would not be any kind of “behind closed doors” feel that most governmental offices provide.

CONFERENCE ROOM

However, in the case that confidential work needed to occur, I created more private areas for such rare occurrences. Conference rooms like these once again offer an area for large groups to gather but this time the format is more private through the increase in solid walls. The walls provide more of a barrier than the glass work stations do.
