< PreviousJOURNAL 170 171 JOURNAL This product is created to solve the mess that young children create during their meals. The idea is ”Less Messy, More Funny”. It is possible to change the bowl easly, there are three different choices and each of them adapt to the need. The bowls are easy to clean, thanks to the materials and the shapes. This so that the children can experiment and have more freedom during the meals. Interior Design | Prof. Giovanni Pierantoni INT 293 Product Design II YUUPY – Kitchen Tools INT VÍCTOR ARRIAZAJOURNAL 172 173 JOURNAL This project was about designing a luminaire. The brief was very open and free. Each student was able to decide which kind of lamp he wanted to design. I decided to choose a desk lamp. After some ideation, I came up with the idea of creating a minimal, but sophisticated lamp that could invite to interaction. I took inspiration from the sun and the way the universe is balanced in a perfect way. I designed Alba. It tried to emulate the sun rise, as the name says. Following the language, the concept is defined by minimalism, balance and weight. But this projects was not only about designing the physical and decorative part of the luminaire. The technical part of it was also an important aspect. I selected the light source, the voltage, the color temperature and the CRI of the bulb. After finishing the final design, I rendered the lamp considering all the aspects I mentioned before. This is a good way to show the personality of an object.

The top part and the main structure are made of wood, the wood material that could naturally be found and used in that area. The upper part is painted with natural tints of green, topped with nitrocellulose; both natural and eco friendly products. The ropes are made from natural fibers and the handles from wood and recycled tires. Pasto Trampolines A simple, yet timeless game. Consisting of three pieces of trampolines that are all in a rounded shape, and tinted in green to resemble the grass. The trampolines have sensors in the bottom that restores the energy from every time that someone jumps on them. This energy can then be used in the houses nearby or to light up the park at night. Azul Water Jet Pump This piece works with both kinetic and hydraulic energy. The whales are locaded in the lake and the pumps by the shore. The children can go to the pumps and start pumping. This movement creates a vacuum that presses the water in the pipes and jets out from the whale. Supernova Blade Rotor An Archetypal water blade rotor. It creates energy when it comes in contact with water that pushes the blades in a circular motion. Schroom Battery and Lamp Last but not least, one of the most important pieces in this collection. The Schrooms are important because they are energy storage units, shaped like mushrooms placed around the playground.JOURNAL 176 177 JOURNAL The image above showcases the BRCK Sustainable Home located in Florence, Italy. The BRCK home has 2 levels, with a main living space, two and a half bathrooms as well as a bedroom. The purpose of the BRCK home is to source for its inhabitants a safe, healthy, and overall oasis of natural and resourceful elements. The home includes a spacious greenhouse that works in a symbiosis relationship with the rest of the home. The 2-dimensional images on the left showcase the home south and east view of the BRCK Sustainable Home. The materials and orientation of the windows, second level and doors all associate with the homes natural ventilation systems and overall enhances the home sustainable qualities. The materials chosen are bamboo siding, recycled grey brick, grey concrete, black steel framing, and black fiberglass roofing. All of the following materials are shown in the side views above that overall give a look into the homes association with the lot and how all the elements work as one. The house has a very simple air flow system that can be shown in the diagram on the bottom left. The heat air enters the greenhouse where it can always enter the main living space to heat up the home with the cool air also entering from the North. The air circulates and provides a natural HVAC for the inhabitants. The stale old air is traveled out of the house through a chimney system. Interior Design | Prof. Marco Sorito INT 365 Sustainable Design BRCK Sustainable Home INT ADRIANNA TINGLEYJOURNAL 178 179 JOURNAL INT The Hive House is located on the south side of the Arno River just outside the main city center in Florence Italy. It is adjacent to the park, river, running trails, bridge, road, vegetation, and 700ft away from the tram stop. The Home and Greenhouse is located on lot four, which gives it a nice view of the river and private access to the trails and playground. The home features many elements to make a sustainable home: It uses energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and natural energy systems to create this structure. The home is attached to a greenhouse that mutually benefits the house and vice versa. The greenhouse keeps the residents nourished, secure, well, warm, and brings the natural environment indoors. The concept for the Hive House uses the hexagon shapes to bring you back to nature with a honeycomb, which creates a feeling of efficiency because there’s no wasted space in or between the cells. They’re resilient because their honeycomb structure is built to handle a lot of weight. This is the same for sustainable living with a house that efficiently produces less waste, re-uses and recycles more, low life-cycle environmental impacts and costs, less maintenance, and taking in all the surrounding area and its impact. It even helps pollinate the area. The lifestyle of sustainability should continue inside from floor to ceiling with no wasted space like a honeycomb.
