PARSONS AAS INTERIOR DESIGN - The New School

Inspired by the cultural context of
Puerto Rico and challenged by the
multiplicity of programs, this project
was designed to weave spaces and
programs together with a single piece
of fabric. Located on a hill in Rincon,
Puerto Rico, the ground floor is planned
to accommodate a bi- weekly farmers
market, also used as an activity area.
Drapes of vibrant colored fabrics divide
this area from the internet cafe and
art gallery. The fabric turns to become
the ceiling of the farmers market, an
outdoor canopy and a menu board for
food stalls in the shipping container.
As the programs change, the scale in
the floor pattern changes creating a
field condition. The social hall occupies
the first floor where scale and pattern
have been further developed to create
interesting moments.
