This document provides information about a confrontation workshop project in Istanbul, Turkey. The goal was to design a community center for a diverse but impoverished neighborhood located between three lines of confrontation - a major commercial street to the east, an area with mixed cultural and economic backgrounds also to the east, and a six-lane road acting as a physical barrier to the west. The proposal was a community center focused on bringing together the culturally diverse population of the neighborhood into one shared space. Sketches and a map are provided showing the site location and surrounding area in Istanbul just north of the Golden Horn.
The document provides details about John G. Simenic's graduate project called the Innovatrium. The Innovatrium seeks to enhance and disrupt Dundee, Michigan through the use of extraction pods that would allow robots to extract flavors and fragrances from flowers. The design of the Innovatrium plays with the conventions of big box stores through its raised structure and unfinished interior that prioritizes the extraction pods. Images, diagrams and a model provide visual representations of the Innovatrium's form and the robotic extraction process.
The document proposes an "ideas lab housing" complex in Ann Arbor, Michigan that is conceived as a community based on inquiry and participation. The complex provides venues for collaborative experiments in collective living through shared spaces that are flexible and can change over time. Individual housing units are also configured flexibly to avoid prescriptive uses of space and require residents to determine how they live. The goal is to cultivate imaginative engagement and publicize the culture of the ideas lab.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.

Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

5 Public speaking tips from TED - Visualized summarySpeakerHub
From their humble beginnings in 1984, TED has grown into the world’s most powerful amplifier for speakers and thought-leaders to share their ideas. They have over 2,400 filmed talks (not including the 30,000+ TEDx videos) freely available online, and have hosted over 17,500 events around the world.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.
A brief introduction to DataScience with explaining of the concepts, algorithms, machine learning, supervised and unsupervised learning, clustering, statistics, data preprocessing, real-world applications etc.
It's part of a Data Science Corner Campaign where I will be discussing the fundamentals of DataScience, AIML, Statistics etc.

has spawned a small strip mall agglomeration that is
entirely familiar, yet entirely alien to all who have never
been to Dundee, MI. The role of the innovatrium is to
not only enhance Dundee but also to extract data from
flowers in order to create the flavors and fragrances of
the future.
When thinking about enhancement and Dundee,
I began to develop a building around the idea of
disruption. Instead of designing the innovatrium around
the super-consumer, I sought to design the innovatrium
around robotic extraction. The innovatrium plays the
game of the Cabela’s big-box mentality at the same time
that it denies this idea all together. The building thrives
to be disruptive. It wants to exert a pressure on the area.
The innovatrium is trying to do what Wii did to the
gaming market. Where X-box and Playstation sought
better and better graphics and gaming capabilities, the
Wii sought simple graphics with a completely different
gaming typology platform. The Wii plays by the rules of
the gaming industry and at the same time denies them,
thus completely disrupting the gaming industry.
The design for the innovatrium plays the game of the
big-box store in the experience economy and at the same
time denies it. The innovatrium projects forth images of
flowers along its façade with gleaming light, playing the
same game of the large bear statue and watertower that
rest adjacent to Cabela’s. The innovatrium denies the
big-box entrance typology though by being raised off
the ground, offering no clear entrance. This sets up a
disruptive contradiction where the innovatrium creates
a large amount of attention yet is completely uninviting
for any person yearning to visit.

In terms of robotic design, the innovatrium contains

extraction pods which are efficient clean-room spaces
for robots to extract as many flavors and fragrances
from flowers as possible. In a voracious capitalist
economy where a 3% return is expected by shareholders
every year, the extraction pods need to function at
maximum capacity. Therefore human-interaction
with these extraction pods is completely limited to a
maintenance hatch in the event that a robot breaks
down, and an exchange window, where humans can
garner the robotic flavor and fragrance yields.
The extraction pods also rest in a seemingly adhoc Cabela’s
configuration on the site as if springing forth at
random like wildflowers in a field, calling attention
to themselves with their clumsy stance, denying the
stratified strip-mall mentality of their surroundings.
The rest of the innovatrium surrounds the extraction
pods in a clumsy faceted manner, as if it is only there to
house the extraction pods and maintain them.
Innovatrium
The interior of the innovatrium remains unfinished
with exposed beams, wiring, and mechanical
equipment strewn about, reinforcing the idea that the
space surrounding the extraction pods exists in order to
maintain maximum extraction and also reinforcing that
this is not a place for the super-consumer.

10. SCENT CAMERA #9
Constructing a scent
For the second project of my inital graduate semester
our studio was given a photo of a flower and asked
to construct an 11”x 11”x 37” tall piece based on the
image of a flower. We were also asked to think about
the picture in terms of its possible olfactory capabilities,
hence the title, Scent Camera.
Given the ninth flower photo in a series of flower
photos (shown right), I began to think about synergy
and the relationship between the micro and the macro.
When thinking about the photo in terms of a scent, I
began to question the biological breakdown of the
flower in terms of its cellular structure and its relation
to the creation of scents and fragrances. How are the
cellular blocks broken down and then reconfigured to Above: Flower image number 9.
create something similar and yet entirely different to the
Far Right: Early conceptual sketch.
original configuration?
My launch into this investigation focused on the
creation of “cells,” or tiny hollow blocks, which I
configured in layers and then stacked until I filled the
project dimensions (initial study model shown on p18).
From this study model, I began questioning the spatial
configuration and the types of spaces are created. I
also noticed that using colored cardboard created very
interesting secondary and tertiary spaces within the
construct. When scaling up the study model for the
final, I decided to use sheet metal due to its thinness and
light reflecting qualities, which I thought would bring
about that color and texture created with the cardboard
study model. I also created a set of rules by which to
construct the final piece: 1) I could use between 9 and
11, 2.5” cubes per layer in the construct, and 2) I would
only use only one method of joining via steel-stud
punch-crimper, which limited the possible methods
of joining. Given these rules, I questioned what types
of spaces could be created at different scales. In other
words, I questioned how the construct would read from
25’, 10’, and less than 1’.

14. CLIFTON LIBRARY
Rethinking a local learning hub
The site for Clifton library sits on an urban street
corner in Cincinnati, Ohio. Located between the
University of Cincinnati campus to the south and the
more historic Clifton district to the north, the corner
site contains many unique opportunities to serve as a
link between the two districts. Also, the current Clifton
Library is seen as a landmark for learning and education
within the small Clifton community. Taking these
observations, I wanted to create a bright and inviting
building that would serve as a major landmark in the
Clifton community as well as a landmark that would
link the campus district with the historical district.

CONFRONTATION WORKSHOP
Exploring communities in Istanbul.
The goal of the Confrontation Workshop was to address
a diverse but largely impoverished neighborhood in
Istanbul, Turkey. Working with Turkish design students,
our studio sought to address the underlying cultural
fabric that made up the neighborhood and adjacent
neighborhoods, and after an in-depth study, design a
community center that addressed the needs and wants line of cultural confrontation
of the neighborhood.
The neighborhood is located in an area that is between
three layers of confrontation. Acting as a major line of
confrontation to the east is the famous Istiklal Street
which is an agglomeration of high-end and low-end
shops and restaurants. Also lying to the east is a major
line of cultural confrontation where many people
from both eastern and western Turkey have settled
creating a mixed community in terms of geographical, line of economic confrontation
religious, and economic backgrounds. Acting as a
physical barrier to the west is a six-lane street known
as Tarlabasi Avenue which completely separates the
adjacent neighborhoods.

19. FROEBEL AND WESTCOTT
Building communities in Istanbul. To begin studying Frank Lloyd Wright our studio first
sought to look at Wright’s design process. Little is known
about his actual design process but many scholars believe
that Wright’s design process was highly influenced by his
childhood experience with Froebel sets. So our studio began
by constructing Froebel sets out of raw maple. The process
began from a basic tactility with a single natural material

20. FROEBEL AND WESTCOTT
Building communities in Istanbul.
The goal of the Westcott House masterplan was to explore
Frank Lloyd Wright’s design process and to weave landscape
and built structure into one. The result is a masterplan design
for a multi-functional arts campus that sits low and quiet in
the midwestern landscape connected to the Westcott House
by only subtle landscape features. The sublety of the design
seeks not to dominate the Westcott House but to compliment
it by displaying similar design philosophies.

After measuring, observing, and documenting
Hickman Chapel, our studio was asked to work
individually and think of ways to refurbish the chapel
into a space that would not only serve as a chapel but
also as a community space that could host homecoming
events that were once a staple in the Mill Run
community.

22. HICKMAN CHAPEL
Reviving a chapel, a community, and a history.
Sitting just miles away from Frank Lloyd Wright’s
Fallingwater, I began by using the Froebel process
for my design. This involved using a kits of parts and
establishing how design elements could be arranged
with select site elements in the landscape. My design
centered around refurbishing the basement into a
useable community area. Within the design, a large
outdoor hearth sets up a synergetic relationship between
the indoors and outdoors, and sliding doors allow the
the space to completely open up to the environment. Above: Interior perspective created

The greenest brisk is the one that is already there.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing
and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the
industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s,
when an unknown printer took a galley of type and
scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has
survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into
electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of
Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and
more recently with desktop publishing software like
Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

28. TECHTOWN
Designing for the Creative Class.
Resting on the banks of the Mad River and just
blocks away from downtown Dayton, Ohio, Techtown
is the site of a future business park which will
eventually contain fifteen multi-functional, low-rise
office buildings. Using an existing HOK masterplan,
our studio, was asked to design an efficient office
building for the rising creative class as defined by
Richard Florida’s book The Rise of the Creative Class.
Thinking in terms of efficiency and economy I began
the design process by coming a up with a simple kit
of parts that consisted of a simple cube and simple
1:2 and 1:3 proportions. Working from a this kit of
rectangular parts I began to play with ideas of framing
and movement. The result is three major forms; a
tall central form and two rectangular forms that
intersect and slip past and through the central form.
