This project designed a virtual reality museum dedicated to the renowned Swedish artist, Bror Hjorth. This VR museum combines elements from his old house in Uppsala, enabling people from different places to experience the great works of this Swedish artist.The project shows the potential of virtual reality in the field of architecture. By combining the immersive capabilities of VR with Bror Hjorth's rich artistic heritage, I have created an interactive and accessible experience for a global audience. Through the interpretation of materials, sounds, and models from Bror Hjorths Hus, this new museum aims to redefine people's perception and experience of architecture.

This interior design practicum investigates how narratives linked to the St-Boniface Fire Hall No.1, located in Winnipeg, can inform its adaptive reuse. Its oral history gathered in part through interviewing past users is spacialized into a physical realm. Narratives are translated into design elements by utilizing the creative process and analytical framework of the concept of mise en scène. Stories are analyzed and given structure through narratology as a theoretical approach. Post-Museum theory joined the concept of mise en scène by encouraging the visitors to become part of a living museum through sharing stories, thus becoming performers themselves. By utilizing narratives as a foundation, the interior weaves the existing heritage structure with new design interventions, therefore preserving the unique character of the building and incorporating its neighboring francophone community. The resulting design solution manifests itself as a mixed typology including a brewpub, an artist in residence studio and, a living museum.

The Richmond Maker Museum is a working museum design, offering an inside look at past achievements, juxtaposed with the unlimited future possibilities of an evolving, active maker culture. It is a dynamic place designed to allow makers to showcase skills, take risks, engage the public, and grow their craft in real time. The museum displays finished pieces, introduces makers, demonstrates the processes they employ in their work, and invites the community to meet the artisans who, through skill, ingenuity, and hard work, make the artifacts on display. This type of educational museum experience does not currently exist on this scale in Richmond. While other local museums invite visiting artists and offer lectures, the Richmond Maker Museum takes interaction to a new level, introducing visitors to the routines and procedures of each artisan’s daily practice. Maker culture is a tightly woven network of craftsmen—woodworkers, metalworkers, glassblowers, etc. It celebrates traditional fabrication techniques, while also introducing modern technologies such as laser cutting and three-dimensional printing. The social and educational aspects of the maker movement have created a revolution, revitalizing public appreciation for the role of the maker and the importance of craftsmanship.

Wer den Maler Joachim Heuer (1900‐1994) in seinem Atelier in Dresden besuchte, dem offenbarte sich im philosophierenden Gespräch mit ihm wie auch in dessen Werken der heuersche Kosmos. All die Gegenstände, die in seinen Zeichnungen und Gemälden zu entdecken sind, fanden sich als reale Objekte im unmittelbaren Lebensumfeld des Künstlers wieder. Heuer griff die Büsten und Bilder, die Stühle wie den Tisch als Motive auf, reduzierte sie auf Formen und verwandelte sie in seine eigene Bilderwelt.
