Walter Gropius, Mies Van Der Rohe And Marcel Breuer: Designing For America, Shiri Chapman-Daniel

MA Projects

Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer: Designing for America examines interior and furniture projects by the three European modern designer after emigrating to the U.S. in 1938. Many of these projects are not very well known, or are commonly discussed solely in terms of architecture, yet the interiors in fact reveal interesting and significant developments in Gropius, Mies and Breuer's work. The exhibition highlights the evolution of their designs, as well as the extent to which they were affected by American tendencies and innovations and their lasting impact.

French Wallpaper Decors: Papiers Peints In Homes Of The American South, Christine Speare

MA Theses

French wood-block printed wallpaper is a very unique mural art form, yet often neglected. With this historical lack of attention, few academics have devoted themselves to the study of the topic, especially in the United States; and yet, wallpaper can reveal so much about past styles, settings, and collectors.

Venus Fly Trap Garden Light, Raven Lovette

Interior Design

The design will be a modern twist on the solar power garden light. The solar powered light will mimic that of a Venus Fly Trap. The light will remain closed during the daylight, while the solar panels are powered up, and as night falls the fly trap will open allowing light to shine through. The light fixture will be made of sheet metal that can sustain outdoor conditions. The flexible light stand will allow for adjusting the fixture to direct the light in any desired direction.

Before The Storm, Merrie Luton

Interior Design

The concept for this lighting fixture came from the curved and almost ridged edge look of an incoming intense storm cloud. The organic lines create an interesting pattern in the sky, which when turned into a lighting piece, would make for a cool shadowed  effect and pattern in the room. This light would be used for a mood lighting effect to help with relaxation, but also be something of interesting and thought provoking to view both as the fixture itself and with the lights on.

Far East Mindfulness Center, Aimee Lee Kinssies

Interior Design

I propose to bring a Mindfulness Center to the Nashville Community that welcomes both natives and tourism alike, teaching everyone how to become MINDFUL in their daily lives.

This center will serve as both a national retreat center for those who wish to do a multi-day intensive course on Mindful living, as well as offer a daily retreat for those wanting to procure Mindful practices and meditation into their lives.

The Far East Mindfulness Center (FEMC) will be a place for community, support, education, and enlightenment.
