IAR 202-Welcome Mat


Panama
I began my Welcome Mat project with a precedent study of Panama. Through the information I gathered I developed a concept of Pause and Experience!
The majority of the population of Panama now reside in urban environments and this welcome mat will help provide them with a way to experience the roots and foundations of their country.
The idea is to take a moment to experience Panama through your feet. So take off your shoes and feel your way through Panama.
Data:
*Panama was founded in 1519 and is today a fusion of races and traditions.
*The country has Pre-Colombian Heritage/Spanish and Caribbean Influences
*The population consists of 70% Mestizo, 14% Amerindian and West Indian Mix, 10% Caucasian, 6% Amerindian
*29% of the country's land are considered National Parks
*The country has beaches, mountains which are part of the Continental Divide, and rainforest's.
*The Panama Canal is located here connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and is a main portal for trade
*The country is surrounded by two oceans- the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean
*The highest percentage of the work force is in Agriculture
*The main agriculture is rice, corn, sugar, oranges, and bananas
* A natural resource is copper
*Mahogany, Cativo, and Cedar grow in abundance
*The Capital is Panama City and over 1/2 of the population lives there
*Clothing and textiles are a main export- one of the Popular styles is Mola hand sewn by the Kuna women
* Much of the Cuisine is influenced by the Caribbean and South American-tamales, empinadas, and plantains
*Popular music is Rock and Roll and Hispanic
I developed a Mat that evokes all the senses in an inviting way. The first block is filled with rice, something we don't usually feel with our feet but is an amazing new experience, then warm water filled with orange rinds that feel strangely wonderful on your feet and as you squish them the orange smell is released into the air, the next step is into lush greenery that is watered by your dripping feet, and then onto a squishy pillow to dry your feet and bounce you into the home....hope all that experience Panama enjoy it!

My Sisters House Final Submission

Bold Transitions:
Transition of color, transition of space, transition of life.
Our design consists of Private areas transitioning into communal areas; connecting individuals to public spaces with bold statements through color, material, and innovative form.
My concept has evolved showing a stronger presence of the term bold and revolution. The use of sustainable Eco-friendly materials and appliances shows support to the current Green Revolution in Architecture. The bold use of color and integration of many different materials along with the geometric shapes and organization of the spaces, emulates the bold changes these young women will be making through the restructuring of their lives and community support. Overall the building provides the young women with a safe, chic, and Earth friendly "Urban Vernacular" dwelling to call HOME!
