my idea for the hatchery is based on what the store represents, which is this link between students, the community and the campus, as well as the situationist and the hatchery(past and present). so with that in mind i designed the space so that all the spaces are connected together. upon entering the hatchery you are greeted by the first area which is the gallery and retail space. here in this space the art work is strategically placed with the retail products to create a space for reflection, inspiration, and and consumption of the gallery work and products. the ceiling is a drop ceiling about three feet lower than the rest of the space and is made of horizontal wooden beams that intersect a series of vertical beams in the center of the space that serve as a display area for work. this wall/partition forces the visitor to navigate through the space. the walls within the space are lined with these vertical beams that move throughout the entire hatchery connecting these spaces together. the materials for the space will be reclaimed to give a worn yet inviting feel in the gallery/retail space. beyond this space the is the exhibition/performance area. in this area the beams from the vertical and horizontal beams start weaving together and forming a space that is less rigid and more organic in shape, which compliments the use of the space.

inventory investigation
assignment:What products make up the Hatchery? This is an extremely important element of the design puzzle, as without this knowledge, it is impossible to sculpt a clear vision for the store. Investigate, explore, postulate. What departments on campus are likely to produce something that would be sold in the gallery? What form would these items take? Refer back to your precedent analysis: what items do other university-related shops house? Compile your ideas in an illustrated list on your blog. Consider a campus photo hunt as one way to define and illuminate this list.
student success center:
this on campus center offers tutors and is composed of 3 academic support services: the learning assistance center, special support services, and supplimental instruction program.
art department:
the art department can sell student art work in the gallery as well as display installations from their students.
theatre department:
the theatre department can offer a variety of performances.
music department:
this department can produce live performances, from solo artists to group bands. the department could also send music students to the gallery to give music lessons in one of the conference/rehearsal rooms.
iarc:
we can offer student work to be displayed as well as hold seminars and meetings through iida and invite professinals to come speak about topics that concern iarc students.
