In the beginning phases of my brainstorming for the hatchery, I had a very narrow minded approach that centered around the idea of an egg hatching and the anatomy of an egg. After thinking more about the hatchery and what it was, outside of the branding, I expanded my thought process and thought about the projects we had done previously this semester.
Initially, one of my favorite parts of the hatchery was the historic aspect of the building and I immediately began to think of how the fixtures of the space would compliment the shell of the building. I appreciate its historical value and think it will only add to the aesthetics of the space. In thinking of these relationships of not only the interior of the hatchery but with the city of Greensboro and Elm Street I began to brainstorm with the idea that my concept for the hatchery would be “connections.” Although, I felt as though it covered a lot of my ideas my mind kept coming back to the idea of new and old. I felt that this concept not only touched on the historical aspect of the building but also dealt with connections.
Finally having my concept, I researched the connections between new and old through inspirational images and architecture. After compiling a good deal of information and images I have come to the conclusion that a key component to my design will be transitions and the incorporation of used fixtures and furniture.

I like where this is going Kim, but I don't see where the "connection" part is. The addition of used fixtures and furniture brings the old, but what is the new in the space. I really appreciate that you are making a connection with the area of the building, but I would encourage you to expand that in some way beyond just the objects in the space to the space itself. Nice work!
Hello Kim,
I like the idea of connections. I think that you can build on this with the connections that will be created between students of different disciplines at the Hatchery. sounds good!
