Designing the space

The retail portion of my project is located at the entrance of the building. upon entering the store, you first experience a long display table. To the right of the table is an intimate area set up for tournament competitions. Just behind this area are the bulk of our retail displays. The counter against the rear wall (most likely a graphic wall) will have monitors for gameplay and to complete the experience is a circular checkout counter, which will be my lighting focus for this section. The counter will be lit from the inside giving it a glowing effect. 


The classroom space should be conducive to this particular learning style. I propose the 360 degree classroom to accommodate an optimal number of students. The instructor stands at the center of the classroom. There are drop down screens on every wall so that no matter where in the room students sit, there is always a clear view. Students will be placed at tables, which are set up for laptop use. Every part of the room is economized.

Dialux model and lighting focus

Using the dialux model of my retail space, I was able to determine how many lights the space would require and at what interval to place the fixtures.  The Receptionist/Checkout counter in the Retail portion of the building features moving, colored light. The GE Immersion color changing LED (typically used for jewelry display cases to provide a bright, uniform light) works on a link system allowing the light fixture to be arranged along a tight curve or awkward angle. It offers the added benefits of long life, advanced thermal management, worry-free maintenance, and reliability. By using an LED fixture, which could be easily arranged in tight spaces, the receptionist desk can be dressed in waves of colored light. These waves of changing color represent the company’s need, ability, and desire to change with needs of their professional market. The Maxis retail store uses a minimalistic color palette and rectilinear forms for fixture displays, which help to further distinguish the ...
