History of Archicture and Interiors I
...is a lecture course focused on architectural and design achievements from
Pre-History and Antiquity through the Industrial Revolution with reference
to interiors as a social art, responsive to historical, cultural, theoretical and
philosophical influences. A semester long design journal project allows
students to abstract knowledge of historical style by recognizing influences
in modern interpretations.

The design concept for the Masonic Temple
combines a modern aesthetic with an exposed
structure, illustrating mason’s building
techniques. In this way, students of the University
of New Haven’s Art & Design Department can
learn from their educational environment.
Exposing the architectural structure allows for
visual connections to be made from in-class
concepts.

Freemasons were memebers of a fraternal
organization that focused on brotherly love,
equality, and truth. Meeting houses, like the
West Haven Masonic Temple, were used as a
gathering place where their lessons on morals
and
various
concepts
of
freemasonry
were taught to
members
by
the experienced
crafstmen.
There is a lot
of architectural
symbolism
used to identify
the work of the
freemasons.
Sustainability
The concept of the design and
renovation of this building stems
from the work of the freemasons.
They were very attracted to
sacred geometry and grouping
things in threes, fives, and
sevens; for example: the stairs
leading to the building. The lower
floor of this building is divided
into seven major rooms and/or
areas, the ground floor is divided
into five major rooms, and the
upper floor is divided into three.

These giant metal air ducts are an
integral part of the structure
of the building. Instead of
covering them up, they will
be left exposed and used to
display artwork using magnets.
It will create a unique pin-up
space for group discussions
and critiques.

Preservation
These
wooden
doors
were found in the attic.
They are too beautiful
to be left where no
one will find them. So,
they will be relocated
throughout the building.

Normally, one does not find a
fireplace in an Art and Design
building, which is why this
will be preserved. It will be
utilized as a focal point amidst
an open congregational area
and will feature comfortable
lounge furniture.

Precedents Study
Students presented and competed at the Building Materials Reuse Association
International Conference hosted by Yale University, on May 19, 2011. 11
students were accepted of 30 total participants in the poster session. 1st and 3rd
place awards were taken home by UNH Interior Design VI students.

“The focus of this project is to facilitate a better approach to treating women who have
experienced breast cancer by providing a community-driven space where patients and
survivors, as well as their families and friends, can meet in an unconventional supportive
setting that will help women maintain a sense of beauty and self from the moment of diagnosis
and infinitely thereafter.”

Interior Design IV: Capstone
“The subject chosen for research is music education and the needs and benefits of music on a
growing brain. Because the writing, listening, and performance of music utilize both sides of
the brain simultaneously, it is important to include such activities in a child’s life.
The music facility I am designing will encourage social interactions, musical development, as
well as provide music lessons and instruments to those less fortunate. In the center, there will be
designated areas for writing, recording, searching for, buying, and sharing music, in addition to
practicing and performing. This way, children have a place to go, off the streets, to experience
new age technologies, socially interact, and indulge themselves in every side of music.”
