Deliverables

This catalog was created with the intent of aiding SerenDPT in the thought process behind picking design elements found in modern office spaces for use in the H3 Complex. The catalog is essentially a revamp and expansion of the Thematic Catalog created during the PQP term.

The new catalog, which can be accessed by clicking the link at the top, is interactive. Within the catalog are links that the reader can click to access websites containing additional information about the actual design, like case study information, or the design firm responsible for creating the space.

This new catalog was created using Adobe InDesign CC 2019 and Adobe Bridge CC 2019. Compilation and editing was completed by Alex McMahon.

Created to accompany The Catalog of Inspiring Designs, this catalog features images from spaces the team visited during the PQP term. This catalog was originally presented as something called "The Thematic Catalog" that, while more in depth, missed the goal of inspiring SerenDPT and informed them of pricing and availability of certain office design elements. This simplified catalog was created to highlight the work done prior to departure, and show what can be done when looking to create a space that provides essential needs, even on a budget.

After conversing with advisors and the sponsor, it became clear that 4 minds weren't going to be enough to nail down a solid design for the interior spaces of the H3 complex. In order to compensate for that, the idea of a contest or competition was fielded and a framework for the competition drafted. Based on the sponsor, the competition was framed to allow SerenDPT the opportunity to gather as many ideas as possible and potentially even use aspects from all in their final design choices. The current framework seeks for designs of the interior spaces including the bell tower rooms, open and private office spaces, the main hall, public meeting spaces, lounge and break areas, and the courtyard. SerenDPT also hopes to be able to offer a cash award and the opportunity to work alongside them to the winner of the competition. To the left, a sample cover page can be seen, and the full framework is accessible by clicking the link above.

Short for Restaurant Laboratory, R-Lab is a proposed concept set to be installed in the deposito of the H3 Complex. This ultra-flexible restaurant is to be the culmination of a multi-year partnership between the Basque Culinary Center (BCC) and SerenDPT for senior students to complete their graduate requirements, similar to the IQP program run through the Venice Project Center. The restaurant plans to experiment with multiple aspects of restaurant management and design such as layout, ambience, menu formatting, and culinary styles. The ultimate goal of R-Lab is to open a restaurant in Historic Venice based on findings. The full proposal submitted by our team to SerenDPT and the BCC can be found at the link above.
