Just as clothing defines the physical body, interior designs create spaces that shape the experience of the body in these settings. This prototype is knit as a single panel using recycled polyester and spandex yarns. The structure is a series of channels stuffed with foam noodles then supported structurally with metal pipe, allowing for various configurations. <img width="914" height="614" width_o="914"

While the built environment is often considered an invisible backdrop to our everyday lives, in reality it has a profound impact on our cultural, economic, political, and social conditions. From the single-family house to sprawling institutional campuses, each is a product of the architectural discipline, and by extension, architects. The research presented here utilizes seven common building elements to evaluate Architecture’s role in the physical and psychological forces of human behavior, through the lens of power, privilege, and oppression. The deliberate use of the language of architecture, the drawing, communicates an immediate imperative to address Architecture’s biases, blind spots, and harm through the role of elements in our everyday lives. <img width="4174" height="2783" width_o="4174" height_o="2783" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a3945371eed3c10e23c110c3aa8f1dbfac34666f8de7de015060e6b81a709748/570A9505.jpg" data-mid="109354101" border="0" data-scale="93" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a3945371eed3c10e23c110c3aa8f1dbfac34666f8de7de015060e6b81a709748/570A9505.jpg" /> <img width="2700" height="1800" width_o="2700" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3c209361512c2b44a3f3f1d1338bf6e90c4561a5be9eacd9aa44dd517599e31e/18x12_Spatial-Analysis4.jpg" data-mid="109402351" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3c209361512c2b44a3f3f1d1338bf6e90c4561a5be9eacd9aa44dd517599e31e/18x12_Spatial-Analysis4.jpg" /> <img width="2700" height="1800" width_o="2700" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/203ce35e45bd5872ac972a89eadb91142c0285399e7c7259ba87176204c41145/18x12_Spatial-Analysis2.jpg" data-mid="109351970" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/203ce35e45bd5872ac972a89eadb91142c0285399e7c7259ba87176204c41145/18x12_Spatial-Analysis2.jpg" /> <img width="5072" height="3751" width_o="5072" height_o="3751" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f1528fd0a583c1925de966e3369705611619b080e7105aae4c74394e5a6740c9/MATRIX_2-2-01.jpg" data-mid="109370078" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f1528fd0a583c1925de966e3369705611619b080e7105aae4c74394e5a6740c9/MATRIX_2-2-01.jpg" /> <img width="2700" height="1800" width_o="2700" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/52ebf670e1a1f86b97e395668e2a4dd855140519d6ed77ab3607d61759ea3b2d/18x12_Spatial-Analysis.jpg" data-mid="109351972" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/52ebf670e1a1f86b97e395668e2a4dd855140519d6ed77ab3607d61759ea3b2d/18x12_Spatial-Analysis.jpg" /> <img width="6497" height="1800" width_o="6497" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f8f4a11866113e9bf7192e356ba63163a5b4309c02571404e52d8c3c26c38970/Long_Spatial-Analysis.jpg" data-mid="109402373" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f8f4a11866113e9bf7192e356ba63163a5b4309c02571404e52d8c3c26c38970/Long_Spatial-Analysis.jpg" /> https://jennifermeakins.com/Knit-Digital Fri, 20 May 2022 15:43:10 +0000 Jennifer Meakins https://jennifermeakins.com/Knit-Digital Knit DigitalDesign ResearchOngoing In collaboration with Krissi Riewe Stevenson (KSU Fashion) Digital CNC knitting, produced on an industrial Stoll knitting machine, programmed using M1-Plus Software.

These exercises may become an exciting way to both teach and practice the art of creative exploration and form making through new/old methods of design thinking, testing, and materiality. <img width="2715" height="2769" width_o="2715" height_o="2769" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/46a7f698d3889b06510cda5f17cd8ab246cca632f0b1ae9b411139d1745a519f/Weaving5.jpg" data-mid="109351974" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/46a7f698d3889b06510cda5f17cd8ab246cca632f0b1ae9b411139d1745a519f/Weaving5.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="2991" width_o="3024" height_o="2991" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4706190a843050b0f97366ee5b001fc051797b9ddc63ab12ffb40ae2b900e353/Weaving9.jpg" data-mid="109351975" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4706190a843050b0f97366ee5b001fc051797b9ddc63ab12ffb40ae2b900e353/Weaving9.jpg" /> <img width="1650" height="1622" width_o="1650" height_o="1622" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/348883b578f5537a51faebb3c19d07804962ea880e2ab0ea69d64ab732a77297/Weaving11.jpg" data-mid="109351977" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/348883b578f5537a51faebb3c19d07804962ea880e2ab0ea69d64ab732a77297/Weaving11.jpg" /> <img width="2766" height="3077" width_o="2766" height_o="3077" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/38540f2c9759273bd2473d0006e730b4e981416940c6a6114fb4be384d18f8b5/Weaving20.jpg" data-mid="109351979" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/38540f2c9759273bd2473d0006e730b4e981416940c6a6114fb4be384d18f8b5/Weaving20.jpg" /> <img width="2742" height="3096" width_o="2742" height_o="3096" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e04977324e62be188919b9996ff4e2679d7ae1ccf3b5fc9bb977022eef5fb1b8/Weaving19.jpg" data-mid="109351980" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e04977324e62be188919b9996ff4e2679d7ae1ccf3b5fc9bb977022eef5fb1b8/Weaving19.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eb19c1c8ebebcbccf99e0d61d1e240362160a26e2135c61ad56f1197eb9a84e7/Weaving18.jpg" data-mid="109351981" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/eb19c1c8ebebcbccf99e0d61d1e240362160a26e2135c61ad56f1197eb9a84e7/Weaving18.jpg" /> <img width="2507" height="2692" width_o="2507" height_o="2692" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ffc87c6469225235e13bda5db71eb73a04b0eb4fdf240ac146c66da0c489feb8/Weaving21.jpg" data-mid="109351978" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ffc87c6469225235e13bda5db71eb73a04b0eb4fdf240ac146c66da0c489feb8/Weaving21.jpg" /> <img width="2690" height="2829" width_o="2690" height_o="2829" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5572b9233531abb4f993a19476b10c3cca02805e34711885c115851c6aad64f6/Weaving32.jpg" data-mid="109351982" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5572b9233531abb4f993a19476b10c3cca02805e34711885c115851c6aad64f6/Weaving32.jpg" /> <img width="2018" height="1783" width_o="2018" height_o="1783" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/64ac2729891cdd276e03f71c0d2aec2c90c0a80cff80d2a7e11589f125c4329c/Weaving31.jpg" data-mid="109351983" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/64ac2729891cdd276e03f71c0d2aec2c90c0a80cff80d2a7e11589f125c4329c/Weaving31.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="3046" width_o="3024" height_o="3046" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1cde60f452d89d8fad01571695cb58f488c83346b025b0957e0d4ff4564e2b10/Weaving28.jpg" data-mid="109351985" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1cde60f452d89d8fad01571695cb58f488c83346b025b0957e0d4ff4564e2b10/Weaving28.jpg" /> <img width="2520" height="2576" width_o="2520" height_o="2576" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cfa1a8a31b14ab20251560589d5b5c9e89f37f13b4a822601dd931ef410bfebb/Weaving26.jpg" data-mid="109351984" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cfa1a8a31b14ab20251560589d5b5c9e89f37f13b4a822601dd931ef410bfebb/Weaving26.jpg" /> <img width="2917" height="2960" width_o="2917" height_o="2960" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/90e13b27a4e489532b8f98d4accfe3a05111eb6aa9c040714088435bcd29a3d0/Weaving29.jpg" data-mid="109351986" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/90e13b27a4e489532b8f98d4accfe3a05111eb6aa9c040714088435bcd29a3d0/Weaving29.jpg" /> https://jennifermeakins.com/Stuffed Fri, 20 May 2022 17:52:48 +0000 Jennifer Meakins https://jennifermeakins.com/Stuffed Stuffed CNC Knit Seat Cushion PrototyeDesign ResearchOngoing In collaboration with Krissi Riewe Stevenson (KSU Fashion) &nbsp;

The exhibition asks participants to collectively explore architectural issues such as tectonics, materiality, form, pattern, and structure through the application of pliable materials. The interior surface is composed of textiles pieced together as in traditional quilt making, blown up into a large-scale spatial experience, creating spectacle through pattern and color. Layered with a second textile plane, the shape is overstuffed, further alluding to a grossly oversized quilt that is suspended in space. The space, as experienced via passage up and down a stairwell, temporarily envelops the user and evokes a sense of softness, depth, and heaviness as you travel through the space. The back, or outside, observed from above, is a display of structure and tectonics as the object is suspended inside the gallery space. <img width="2260" height="1098" width_o="2260" height_o="1098" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/23bee198c067eca5e30f04d3ced47241583746ff03f63a70b68dc26cd494b162/Final-Section-Page-001.jpg" data-mid="109352002" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/23bee198c067eca5e30f04d3ced47241583746ff03f63a70b68dc26cd494b162/Final-Section-Page-001.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="2272" width_o="4032" height_o="2272" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/60b6d997f1c48d511faf6ef4941c5c9c9449fec1763740e563aa29b4ee7cf321/Wide_1.jpg" data-mid="109351998" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/60b6d997f1c48d511faf6ef4941c5c9c9449fec1763740e563aa29b4ee7cf321/Wide_1.jpg" /> <img width="3595" height="2176" width_o="3595" height_o="2176" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/149e1faeb3b9fac1c70bb95df524f85a9f59b04d25a9adaebf3507cd8e196bdb/Web_2.jpg" data-mid="109352000" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/149e1faeb3b9fac1c70bb95df524f85a9f59b04d25a9adaebf3507cd8e196bdb/Web_2.jpg" /><img width="2448" height="3264" width_o="2448" height_o="3264" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3eac92e56d0c43776ecec71a54be74b191a68b634b8fcfa9d64f5514b7c0195d/IMG_2724.jpg" data-mid="109352001" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3eac92e56d0c43776ecec71a54be74b191a68b634b8fcfa9d64f5514b7c0195d/IMG_2724.jpg" /> https://jennifermeakins.com/Outside-Design Thu, 31 Dec 2015 20:48:44 +0000 Jennifer Meakins https://jennifermeakins.com/Outside-Design <img width="1667" height="1112" width_o="1667" height_o="1112" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aa64af1427bd8ce812aacee61bd22707aa77a0cb315d6f0a61ed3c118be9b009/OD_Axon-01.jpg" data-mid="109352013" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aa64af1427bd8ce812aacee61bd22707aa77a0cb315d6f0a61ed3c118be9b009/OD_Axon-01.jpg" /> Outside Design September 11–December 18, 2015 Sullivan Galleries School of the Art Institute of Chicago Exhibition design with Ania Jaworska Outside Design is a large-scale exhibition featuring projects and practices that explore design through biotechnology and ecological systems. The exhibition space is used for lectures, performances, instruction, laboratory research, and material display. Our team was commissioned to design and coordinate the fabrication of 75 pieces of furniture including vertical pin-up and writing boards (for instruction), desks and benches (for lectures and instruction), and display tables (for exhibition). The furniture pieces are modular and can be used individually and in groups. My additional responsibilities included research and sourcing surface materials for all pieces, using texture and color to differentiate by purpose and use. <img width="1872" height="1248" width_o="1872" height_o="1248" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3407a9fff73d0163c4a79e17d0663e15b37f4a040a1daa76096a90e3f3971209/OD_1.jpg" data-mid="109352008" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3407a9fff73d0163c4a79e17d0663e15b37f4a040a1daa76096a90e3f3971209/OD_1.jpg" /> <img width="1667" height="1241" width_o="1667" height_o="1241" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9d616ba50bdae9d4ceaadb685b8cbfc272746b45a84db4e48d9718c14ec6096b/OD_Materials-and-Quantities_-01.jpg" data-mid="109352014" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9d616ba50bdae9d4ceaadb685b8cbfc272746b45a84db4e48d9718c14ec6096b/OD_Materials-and-Quantities_-01.jpg" /> <img width="1872" height="1248" width_o="1872" height_o="1248" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/80c7cfbe15b0007b926c81ca4e19807bcecdbab5f3c1d18bc4d92facf5cd6c30/OD_5.jpg" data-mid="109352007" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/80c7cfbe15b0007b926c81ca4e19807bcecdbab5f3c1d18bc4d92facf5cd6c30/OD_5.jpg" /> <img width="1248" height="1872" width_o="1248" height_o="1872" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/62c1a9d696332330e943d33fa9e4b6a1e261119f1dcc30555d1037da7b7de1e8/OD_10.jpg" data-mid="109352009" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/62c1a9d696332330e943d33fa9e4b6a1e261119f1dcc30555d1037da7b7de1e8/OD_10.jpg" /> <img width="1872" height="1248" width_o="1872" height_o="1248" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4bcee523353e8d6cd7ec835486582872ba394d759aa31ef2e1c794544dcc44ea/OD_8.jpg" data-mid="109352010" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4bcee523353e8d6cd7ec835486582872ba394d759aa31ef2e1c794544dcc44ea/OD_8.jpg" /> <img width="1872" height="1248" width_o="1872" height_o="1248" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f6a9b978d4d63b484cb48950be8bbf7b06014c6900e6ab81af56f6d346f56ec6/OD_3.jpg" data-mid="109352011" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f6a9b978d4d63b484cb48950be8bbf7b06014c6900e6ab81af56f6d346f56ec6/OD_3.jpg" /> <img width="1872" height="1248" width_o="1872" height_o="1248" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d122429824b291a52e90c0b376d76fc0380ea78bbf42efa06d722cc489561a46/OD_2.jpg" data-mid="109352012" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d122429824b291a52e90c0b376d76fc0380ea78bbf42efa06d722cc489561a46/OD_2.jpg" /> https://jennifermeakins.com/A-Frame-in-the-Mountains Sun, 30 May 2021 22:47:34 +0000 Jennifer Meakins https://jennifermeakins.com/A-Frame-in-the-Mountains A-Frame in the Mountains Snowbasin, UT Unbuilt <img width="2500" height="2009" width_o="2500" height_o="2009" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b66764517635dd4683c6b03b0cdd6c7316c34bb74166b53672e3609c59b4459c/AFrame-3.jpg" data-mid="109945849" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b66764517635dd4683c6b03b0cdd6c7316c34bb74166b53672e3609c59b4459c/AFrame-3.jpg" /><img width="1023" height="679" width_o="1023" height_o="679" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a0bcc689e2cde234b08ce2c5728ea248cc08ba024b31c3385934911554f132e6/Aframe-01.jpg" data-mid="109945848" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a0bcc689e2cde234b08ce2c5728ea248cc08ba024b31c3385934911554f132e6/Aframe-01.jpg" /><img width="1800" height="1642" width_o="1800" height_o="1642" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4668ef1e54012666e75c1ebe64fc65d2ed0e9adc8780bc808c915bfa3d8fe618/Aframe_Int2.jpg" data-mid="109945847" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4668ef1e54012666e75c1ebe64fc65d2ed0e9adc8780bc808c915bfa3d8fe618/Aframe_Int2.jpg" />
