Through an investigation of agriculture and cuisine and its consequential influence on culture, education, and design, the following project intends to reconceptualize the learning environment in order facilitate place-based practices. Challenging our cognitive dissonant relationship with food, the design proposal establishes a food identity through an imposition of urban agriculture and culinary design onto the school environment. Working in conjunction with the New American University’s mission, the design serves as a didactic medium between food, education, and architecture in designing the way we eat.
SYSTEMA NERVOSUM is an interdisciplinary personal narrative on design, music, and identity. The project is composed of eleven parts, each addressing the themes of interconnection, the power of the human body, internal and external misunderstanding, and fear. The goal of SYSTEMA NERVOSUM was to create a body of work that reflected the very essence of creative and interdisciplinary thinking.
Invasive species are non-native plants or animals that harm the environment, economy, and even human health. These species are introduced to new environments where they have no natural predators or competitors to keep them in check. As a result, they grow and reproduce quickly, outcompeting and displacing native species. Invasive species can also damage crops, infrastructure, and property, leading to significant economic losses. Moreover, some invasive species can carry diseases that can affect human health. As the leading cause of biodiversity loss according to the IUCN Red List, controlling and preventing the spread of invasive species is critical to protecting biodiversity and maintaining a healthy environment.
As a graphic design student, I have been tasked in developing an app for Psyche in efforts to inform the public, raise awareness, and keep eyes on the mission. I teamed up with ASU computer science majors to create a fully functioning app based on Psyche to provide a fun and interactive way to learn about the mission. To expand the range of ASU student competitions, we created five additional Psyche programs for various STEM majors to take part in. Each new competition will have their own branding, advertising, and social postings. A website has also been made to make it easy for students to get involved, keep track of dates, and sign up for the various competitions. To spread awareness of the new ASU Psyche competitions, a poster series was created with different designs for each major in efforts to advertise the various events. Other designs, such as T-shirts, stickers, and social media postings were implemented to keep awareness up and attract new competitors.
