Interior Environments

Coming into class today our original idea was to create a campaign of posters to display around the school on keeping your workspace clean, and maintaining an overall adequate indoor atmosphere to feel clean, safe, and comfortable to work in.

After a major re-thinking and assessing our original idea, we have come up with a re-design proposal idea. As students, particularly in the 2-D streams of design, we spend a lot of time in the large workspace on the 6th floor of the O.C.A.D. Sharp building, working on our computer, eating, gluing, cutting, mounting, sketching, and often doing all these things at the same time, in the same area.

We plan on coming up with a new overall organization for the layout of this workspace. Possibly creating sectioned areas to complete specific tasks such as mounting and glueing, and other areas where students are working on their computers and sketching.

Also we hope to incorporate the idea of the "plant wall", seen here implemented at the University of Guelph, possibly to section of the different "areas" on a little bit off a smaller scale than the wall at Guelph.

We plan on taking even more in depth observations and research once we further work on this new idea.
