For our final project we were assigned a famous individual for whom we were to create a habitable wall. We were then assigned to a group and our clients' "walls" were to collectively create a neighborhood within the 3rd floor of the UNCG Gatewood Studio Arts building. Our resulting design was to best suite the needs of our client considering location, relativity to other clients, structure, and lighting. My client was Mark Rothko, celebrated abstract expressionist painter. I plan to continue revisions in my iterations, but my most recent product was designed to be a movable, changeable structure to fit his mood- whether it be joyful or depressed. I took advantage of the many windows in our studio to optimize lighting for his painting. His structure incorporates a select few of his signature colors, but not so much that it could overwhelm and strain his ability to start afresh on a new painting. My next designs will move towards a more simplified, unified structure to express a more solid concept.
