Intent Narrative
The intent of the suite area is to bring aspects of the exterior to the interior to provide storage and living areas. The push-out and built-in areas of the walls create extra spaces for storage. The bedrooms also include the necessities for a new mother. These include the bed, crib, and changing area. The color choices relate back to the building's color scheme. Therefore, the design of the suite area relates to the exterior in order to provide an adequate living area for the mother and her child.

Connection
The exhibit was carefully planned in all aspects to be able to “bring history close to home and educating our community about where we have come from and where we are going.” The structures created were able to relate to the work on display, while also relating to the viewer in the space. The materials were also carefully chosen to convey to the work. The structures in the exhibit work with the space to create an inviting atmosphere. Each part of the displays and space were well planned in order to relate someway back to the viewer and to the work shown. Therefore, the main concept of this exhibit is the sense of connection. Being able to connect the past to the future, connecting the work on display to the structures, connecting the exhibit to the installation space, and connecting the viewer to the exhibit are all aspects of the concept of connection.
The exhibit is laid out is a way that you are able to walk through and view the work. The structures are organized in a way that unites and divides the space. The design and colors create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The exhibit contains the work of Edward Lowenstein and other works of modernism. Lowenstein’s work contained natural and modern materials. The materials used in the exhibit relate back to the work of Lowenstein. The structures are created with wood, and types of metal. The colors and material creates a modern and environmental design. Therefore, the materials and color scheme used to create the exhibit were a way to respond to the work of Lowenstein.
The image above shows the color scheme and the natural materials that were used to create the exhibit.
As the viewer you are able to walk through and explore the exhibit. Throughout your experience you relate and discover along the way. The placement of the structures provides you with a path in which you create connections within the displays. It is carefully organized in a pattern where you are able to get a sense of what modernism is and then continue to walk though and see how it affected Greensboro. After first walking into the exhibit there is information and images explaining modernism. Then you continue walking around in the exhibit to view some works by famous architects of modernism. There is text and images about some of these architects and designers. After viewing these displays you continue walking though and make connections to the work of Lowenstein. The way that the graphics are arranged provides you with a summary of modernism and architects then leads to Lowenstein’s work. This arrangement works well because it provides you with an explanation of Lowenstein’s design and shows you some of his main influences. Throughout the exhibit there were different types of media. These included the actual structure with the images, the video screen, and the computer source. I feel that the media that worked best was the structures with the images. As the viewer you are able to better relate this three-dimensional media. The viewer could walk though and experience the exhibit. However, I do think that the other sources of media were a way to better connect the graphics on the three-dimensional structures. The images shown on the screen also helped the viewer interact with the exhibit. The different types of media give the viewer a better sense of Lowenstein’s work. It shows different aspects and relates to the different media that Lowenstein worked with.
The sketch above shows the path that the structures create and shows how the different types of media that are displayed in the exhibit.
The way in which the exhibit is arranged and the space that in, which it is installed, has a large impact on the concept. The glass wall acts as a “glass curtain” reaching out into the space. As you are approaching the space you are able to see through the glass, and how the different structures lead you through the exhibit. This provides a way for the viewer to connect to the exhibit. Also, this relates back to what was said earlier about the warm and inviting space. Being able to see the parts of the exhibit as you are passing by creates a welcoming atmosphere. Once you are in the space the glass wall connects you back to the lobby. It creates a notion of reaching out and connecting the present surroundings to what you are viewing in the exhibit.
This image shows the connection that is made from the lobby to the exhibit.
Therefore, I feel that the each aspect of the exhibit was well planned in order to create an interactive experience as you are viewing the works on display. The light, and color choices create an inviting atmosphere. The arrangement of the images and text provided you with all of the information that you as the viewer needed in order to understand the exhibit. After first walking in there was a summary to explain some of the design concepts. Once entering the layout of the structures allowed you to walk around and view the exhibit. They were carefully placed in order for you to explore and make connections within the works. The different types of media used provided a way to keep the viewer interactive with the exhibit. Also, this related back to the different types of works that the exhibit was covering. In conclusion, I feel that the three-dimensional structures in the exhibit force the viewer to interact, explore and create connections throughout all aspects of the design.
