ID Studio 3 is a second year interior design studio that reflects a continuation in the development of skills, exploration, technical knowledge, and experimentation through design. Students were asked to expand their ability to program spaces for human habitation, ‘the body inside,’ and to develop the initial skills for detailing, fabricating, and documenting interior components beyond schematic design. The objective of this course is to provide the opportunity to balance technical considerations with creative ambitions through design projects by focusing on analysis, synthesis, place making, space planning and understanding of volumetric relationships.
Students completed two projects: a fashion production/exhibition space in New York City and a food hall for immigrants and refugees in Cleveland (Ohio City).

Reminiscence
Pulling on a thread reveals memories that were at some point lost, only to be rediscovered once again. Memories reside in senses or are deep nostalgic sensorial experiences.Hearing a soft song that mother once sang, smelling the aroma of bread baking at grandfather’s apartment, or seeing a pattern that aimlessly hung in their old bedroom, act as felt spaces and bring memories back and create nostalgia. This space will attempt to allow the immigrant entrepreneurs to share their own memories with the users of the space. The memories would be shared through smell and taste of food, visual storytelling, and performative experience. While sharing memories with others, the space will also serve as a connection to home for the immigrant entrepreneurs by giving them an agency. The space will function metaphorically as the pulling of thread in search for the memory, while connecting these otherwise unconnected communities. The tension the pull creates, will be represented strategically at points where the patrons will interact with catalysts and their food, and will be only heightened as this experience will be obscured and gradually the act of making food is revealed. The use of natural materials in contrast to the threads, the use of natural lighting in contrast with artificial, and use of red against such a neutral palette presented by the site will not only guide users through space but through the process of finding memory.
