For this project we were tasked with designing a social retail space. I love pizza and was working at a pizza restaurant so I decided to design one myself. We were required to have at least one custom piece in the space so I did a light fixture. the pizza place is called DIY pie and it a fast casual restaurant. I wanted it to be a restaurant where you get to choose your toppings and watch the process from start to finish. So it starts at the orange counter where you pick the dough and continues down to the ingredients. Where you design your pie and choose what you want. when you are done they put it in the oven and you pay at the end of the counter. In order to complete this project we were required to visit stores that were the same as our and do a behavioral mapping to figure out what worked and didn't.

This was a competition for IIDA to design a trade show booth for them and have it featured at the upcoming Orgatec conference in Germany. We went to trade shows as a class and had speakers who work in the industry come in and give talks order to educate us for when we designed our booths. At the end of the project we selected 10 classmates to be submitted in the competition and mine was one of them I was very proud of this project and I think it reflects in the work I did.  This environment embraces the idea of a community, much as a hive provides a nurturing environment for bees. The environment is welcoming, and members will feel at ease when relaxing and talking. The repetitive use of hexagons all throughout will bring a feeling of depth to the space. The hexagons are representative of the honeycomb formed by a community of bees, which reference IIDA's emphasis on networking and communities. This space embraces the IIDA mission in a unique and abst
