practice safe design:use a concept. --petrula vrontikis

so after drawing out some of my ideas and being indecisive as usual...i decided to make a change in my concept yet again. in thinking of old and new i thought more about the relationship between those two words and then about relationships that people have with one another. with that, i came up with the concept of "fusion." i feel that this word ties in my ideas for this building and my desire for this building to be mindful of connections of old and new while appreciating the different aspects of a relationship and the ways that different things can become complimentary through small gestures.

in viewing various inspirational images- i chose the picture below and generated a potential color palette.

hatchery narrative

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 think that it is important to create connections between the historic value of the site for the hatchery while bringing in new fixtures and artwork seamlessly.
