So I recently have been getting a lot of interest
in what my own personal experience has been in the field of Corporate design.
Well as I explained in my very first post... I am
currently a three year Chico State Interior Design transfer. At Chico State
their overall focus in the major of ID, was a little about all types of design.
They offer, Residential design courses, Hospitality courses, Corporate and
Institutional Design courses, Lighting, Furniture courses, and more. So I have
actually had a lot of experience in all of the design fields. My interest
in corporate design first sparked when I had taken Chico's Corporate and
Institutional Design class last fall. The course description: IDES 453
Corporate and Institutional Design
3.0 Spring
Prerequisites: IDES 231, IDES 232, IDES 251.
Students
design corporate offices and institutional spaces such as day-care centers and
libraries. Practical issues such as compliance with building codes,
sustainability, and use of modular furniture systems are addressed in relation
to building types. 2.0 hours lecture, 2.0 hours activity. Special fee required;
see the Class Schedule. Formerly ARTS 482. (000820)
So as our professor Kejeong
first assigned our first project of the semester he assigned us a partner, to
establish our own design of a Veterinary hospital.
As we were given about 6
weeks to come up with the design we had to cut down what would normally be a
year to a couple of years of a design process to 6 weeks. We began by going on
a field trip to a veterinary hospital, to establish programming sheets for the
overall building. A program sheet
is analysis of every room that is needed in a hospital with a list of what
might be needed in that particular room.
Here Is one program sheet that I did for the reception room of the
hospital. :
The next process we began
was our brainstorming of our overall design feel of the design. As we also researched other veterinary
hospitals we found that a lot of older hospitals are very rundown and outdated.
So we wanted to give our design a very modern, clean look. With this, we then began to create the space
by bubble diagramming all of the rooms, to make a good sense of a good overall
flow of the space. With designing something like this, it is very important to
have the right rooms next to each other and thought out properly. After naming the hospital Paws and
Claws, we then had a solid grasp of our floor plan.
Final Furniture Floor Plan:
RCP: Reflected Ceiling Floor Plan with Lighting Legend:
So as we then had our floor
plan we began the interior aesthetic Design of the hospital. We came up with our lighting fixtures,
reception furniture, hospital tables for the animals, office desks and chairs,
conference room furniture, paint colors, wall textures, the waterfall in the
reception room design, and the flooring. Here are some of the final perspective
drawings of the overall design of the hospital.
Concept Statement
Paws
and Claws Veterinarian Hospital was designed to be a Professional, “Green”,
Modern, and Natural Environment.
Our goal was to provide our patients and animals with a very welcoming
and calming experience. We have
chosen “Green” products to promote our clean and natural goal. We care about
our patients, so we want to provide them with the best most possible care we
can give them. We feel that having a great designed facility we can provide
them with just that.

Project 2:
For the very same class, we
were then assigned a new project. The Project was a design for a CEO research
company in Down town San Francisco ware it had to be founded on sustainable
products. So as we were assigned
again with a new partner, we immediately began.. As for the same exact process from the last project we
performed the same for this one.
One difference with this project form the last was that we had to use a
recycled product to incorporate with our design…. So we began the process
With programming sheets:

Along with case
studies: Which are other ideas of different products that other designers have used.

As I look back on these
projects I feel a great pride. I am very happy with our results and I can
easily say that after getting an A in this class, this is where my first
interest of corporate design first began.
Along with this class, I
knew I fell in love with this field when I began and finished my Internship
down in Southern California. At my
intern at Environments Plus INC. as a intern designer I absolutely fell in love
with it all. I designed the layout
and furniture space planning of many offices, conference rooms, Reception rooms,
and more. I designed with large companies as well, such as BMW, Core logic, Easton
Sports, Mazada, and more. I worked
with Auto Cad everyday along with system furniture systems.
