COPERNI is a Parisian fashion brand that was established in 2013 by luxury designers Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant. The duo met during their studies at fashion school and have worked with luxury brands such as Balenciaga, Chanel, and Courrèges (Arnaud & Sébastien, 2024). Inspired by their shared passion for the arts and mathematics, Meyer and Vaillant selected Renaissance-era astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus as the catalyst for their brand identity. The brand name ‘Coperni’ translates to ‘light’ and it is the Copernican heliocentric system which establishes the sun as the center of the Earth’s solar system (DNA, 2024).Coperni’s minimalist, techno-sportif, chic brand focuses on day-to-day wearability, inspired by futurism and technological innovation. Sébastien Meyer states that their mission is to create beautiful, easy-to-wear clothes that incorporate a notion of the future and the new technologies that are just over the horizon (Trochu, 2014). Their goals for the future include developing technology and including more advanced and high-tech materials in their brand. Overall expansion, specifically in innovation, and incorporating technology into their collections is the objective, working to ensure their longevity and ongoing relevance as a company. Coperni seeks to truly create a fusion between digital space and luxury fashion, prioritizing the functional day-to-day wearability of their pieces.03.25.2024 4Paris Fashion Week Spring and Summer 2023 CollectionCLIENT RESEARCHSupport Coperni’s passion for innovative design by providing a research and development laboratory dedicated to the testing and implementation of the newest fashion technology.Plan for a high color rendering index (CRI) within the lighting solution of the design office by providing unique and effective methods that support a user-controlled exposure to light.Create opportunities for visitors to engage with the brand by providing a featured products showroom with a to-scale catwalk and an adjacent meeting huddle room that can quickly convert into a backstage area for the rehearsal of seasonal collection previews.DESIGN IMPLICATIONSArnaud & Sébastien.

COPERNI best aligns with a flatarchy organizational structure. This structure allows for companies to grow and develop into different organizational structures as needed by creating isolated pockets for new departments such as in the case of developing a new product or service (Morgan, 2015). Driven by the flatarchy organizational structure, an office for Coperni must support collaboration and open communication. It may include moveable workstations and “huddle” rooms for quick brainstorm sessions. It may also include displays of both past and present collections to inspire its team members. Private offices may be included for company executives, but they should be visually accessible to promote teamwork and to prevent feelings of detachment between creative and technical departments. The office of a flatarchy organizational structure must accommodate for high circulation and must foster independence within teams to encourage innovative thinking and risk-taking.ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTUREEmphasize the company’s success as a collective whole by creating opportunities within the space to showcase past innovations and industry achievements.Allocate space for the company to expand into a variety of organizational structures as needed by providing readily portable workstations and partition walls.Design an environment which encourages communication by providing an open floor plan with high circulation and visible accessibility to all private offices.DESIGN IMPLICATIONSArnaud VallantCEO & Co-FounderSebastien MeyerCreative Director &Co-FounderMarie RoureGlobal Sales DirectorBlanca Aquiar LopezSales DirectorStephanie PichonMarketing DirectorCharlotte RaymondHead of DesignValentina De PietriHead of Collection DevelopmentCarolina DeworSales ManagerOceane KivouvouFinance ManagerMatthilde MatteucciCommunication ManagerGabriele VenturiAssistant Head of DesignMustafa SaebRTW Manager & Senior DeveloperMarth WullaertFabric & Trims ManagerMamime GundezCollection DesignerSassa Ann van WykAccessories DesignerAdmin & HR LegalClaudia Julia SchergenImage AssistantKarolina WideckaRTW DesignerKjell De MeersmanPre-Collection & Projects DesignerMelanine HomsFabrics & Trims AssistantDain ParkAssistant Collection Designer5Agatha MedioniRTW DesignerMorgan, J.

LOCAL VERNACULAR ANALYSIS & CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS703.25.2024WEATHER CONDITIONSPittsburgh has a continental climate with warm summers frequented by thunderstorms, and very cold, snowy winters. Temperatures running from 23°F to 83°F. The site will experience ample morning sun, so window treatments to avoid glare, lessen heat gain, and better utilize natural light are necessary. The sunset will be cut short by the downtown skyline in the west. Adjustable, directional lighting fixtures can help provide ample task lighting while natural light varies throughout the day. There are views of the natural landscape and trees, as well as an urban industrial setting with a city skyline.LOCAL STYLESPittsburgh's architectural design vernacular is characterized by a diverse blend of styles influenced by early European and New England settlers, German traditions, Eastern European immigrants, and evolving urban design trends. Some areas feature 18th and 19th-century stone houses in Georgian and later Federal design. Also prevalent in homes are English symmetry and traditional German form. Greek Revival Style, traditional Orthodox religious structures, and later, adaptations for working-class residences, in areas associated with coal and steel industries, are present. The architectural vernacular rarely has pure examples of one design but has an accumulation of many styles with modifications from over the years. Both the residential and commercial design style of Pittsburgh exhibit a hybrid of many cultural influences. Predominant building materials in both residential and commercial spaces include brick and concrete, with steel specifically in urban areas.POINTS OF PRIDEFamous pieces of architecture in Pittsburgh include Union Station, a historic downtown train station with a low vaulted rotunda in the Beaux-Arts style, one of the best examples in the nation. Also, described as a crown jewel of the Pittsburgh skyline is the PPG Place, a complex made from a million square feet of glass built in the 19th century in a modern neogothic style. Lastly, a notable historic residential area are the Mexican War Streets, which feature dense row houses in a Victorian style built in the 1840s.SOCIOECONOMIC ANALYSISPrevalent socioeconomic issues in Pittsburgh include crime, urban decay, gentrification, and climate change impacts. For crime, Pittsburgh has a lower or matched crime rate to the national average, dependent on the crime, but general crime has decreased in recent years. Pittsburgh has experienced a large population drop since the 1950’s, but is slowly beginning to increase or stabilize as of 2024. At most, it will experience a flat population growth, but it is still lower than the national average. A huge loss in manufacturing jobs led to an economic decline and significant urban decay around the early 21st century, also due to its dying steel industry. Rebranding as a technology and innovation centered city is helping to revitalize its metropolitan areas. Pittsburgh is the eighth most gentrified city in the U.S. and is one of the lesser diverse cities nationally as well. For climate change, extreme rainfall, flooding, and snowfall are the most significant risk to Pittsburgh, especially with its aging storm water facilities. Additionally, Pittsburgh has a thriving arts scene and it known for its universities. The University of Pittsburgh ranks among the top research universities in the United States, particularly in the fields of health sciences, engineering, and social sciences. It has one of the largest medical centers in the country.Pittsburgh’s Union Station highlights the city’s unique Beaux-Arts style.Downtown residential neighborhoods showcase Victorian architecture.The city features a blend of older and newer architectural styles.Integrate sustainable design features and resilient infrastructure to mitigate the risks of extreme rainfall, flooding, and snowfall associated with climate change.Consider the historical context of the area, particularly in areas associated with Pittsburg’s coal and steel industries.Adapt the building's interior design to reflect the hybrid nature of Pittsburgh's architectural vernacular while maintaining a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.DESIGN IMPLICATIONS

SUITE ANALYSIS903.25.2024Incorporate design features that maximize natural light from the curtain-style windows lining the street-facing side of the building, enhancing the interior environment with abundant daylight while considering the ceiling height limitations on the first level and the second level.Ensure compliance with local egress codes when placing entry doors on the second level of the building, considering the layout and accessibility requirements for safe and efficient evacuation in case of emergencies.Strategically plan the interior layout and design elements for the suite located, taking advantage of its proximity to rated egress stairs, elevators, and the primary entrance for optimal accessibility and functionality.DESIGN IMPLICATIONSThe selected suite for the design solution is on the right-most side of the main lobby. Rated egress stairs next to the suite’s two elevators connect both the first and second levels of the building. The rated egress stairs are relationally close to the suite’s primary entrance. There is also a secondary entrance near the south of the building for company employees and building staff. All second level entry doors are to be placed in accordance with local egress codes. The first level’s current maximum enclosed ceiling height is 12'-0" AFF and the second level’s height is 10'-0" AFF. Curtain-style windows line the building from the street-facing side and provide abundant quantities of natural light. Considering views, there is not a non-desirable direction for the primary circulation paths of the office.NOT TO SCALELEVEL ONE LEVEL TWO KEYPrimary Employee CirculationPrimary Visitor CirculationPrimary Exterior EntrySecondary Exterior EntryPrimary Suite EntrySecondary Suite Entry

WORKPLACE TRENDS & EXPERIENTIAL RETAIL INFLUENCECAREFULLY DESIGNED MOMENTS WITH CONSUMERSA rise in experiential retail destinations post-pandemic is inspiring modern workplace design. Experiential retail destinations prioritize a consumer’s relationship with a brand over a consumer’s relationship with a brand’s products (Najafi, 2020). In doing so, brands can easily foster a close relationship with their primary demographic. A trend within experiential retail design is the planning of unique “moments” or experiences for consumers. In the process of providing consumers with a personalized experience at their retail destinations, brands can gift an invaluable memory in addition to receiving a purchase from consumers. Similarly, brands can gift invaluable memories to their employees as well.GRANDIOSE FIRST IMPRESSIONSAnother trend within experiential retail and modern workplace design is the “grandiose first impression” that occurs at a destination’s facade or within a destination’s entry. The first impression, whether it be a monumental stair or an inspiring wall graphic, is what “sets the stage” for visitors in the space. By setting the stage early, brands can easily define their “ethos” with consumers and employees.TANGIBLE (NOT DIGITAL) INTERACTIVITYInteractivity is another trend within experiential retail and modern workplace design; however, it is important to note that digital interactivity has begun to fall out of favor in most recent years. Due to a rise in digital technology in public environments (such as touch screen maps in shopping malls), customers have begun to feel as though digital technology has fallen out of style. Ironically, digital technology feels more “out of touch” than non-digital interactives. Implement a comprehensive strategy to design and curate unique experiential moments for consumers within retail destinations by focusing on personalized experiences that leave a lasting impression and foster emotional connections with the brand.Integrate elements of grandiose first impressions into the design of retail and workplace spaces by emphasizing impactful features at the facade or entry points that effectively communicate the brand's ethos and captivate visitors from the moment they arrive.Prioritize tangible forms of interactivity over digital solutions in retail and workplace environments by ensuring that interactive experiences resonate with consumers and employees by offering engaging, non-digital interactions that feel authentic and meaningful.DESIGN IMPLICATIONS10Najafi, M.

DESIGN THEORY PRECEDENT STUDY – FUNCTIONALISMFUNCTIONALISM follows the principle of “form follows function” with the main concepts being function, fitness, and utility. These relate to a space’s purpose, the suitability of the space, and the space’s usefulness towards satisfaction. If the design prioritizes these concepts, then beauty will be inherently present and perceptible within the design. Additional related concepts include intent, quality, and context, with beauty connecting everything together. In the profession of interior design, the aspects that support functionalism include space planning, decorative finish materials, lighting, and furniture specifications (Nussbaumer, 2009). Design solutions for workplaces should prioritize function, fitting the image of preconceived notions that a user would have about the space.11Harry's redesigned their headquarters because their original office had limited space. Private conversations between employees were difficult due to high acoustics and limited rooms. Personal offices, formal conference rooms, and informal employee lounges were necessary. As a solution, they designed a variety of informal conversation coves, customer service areas, a graphic design team space, and additional enclosed rooms. There are now connective zones in hallways and there is better circulation.Harry’s Headquarters exemplifies functionalism as the space’s solution increased overall productivity and the employees' ability to comfortably work. Referring to utility, employee satisfaction, pride, and security measurably increased. For fitness, the design is suitable in its purpose as it provided an organized, streamlined floorplan with a variety of workspaces depending on different employee needs. The new design was bright and vibrant, helping to convey company values, attract and retain new talent, and raise its appeal to employees.Provide a variety in environments such as private offices, meeting spaces, conversation coves, collaboration spaces, and lounges to address all employee needs.Utilize engaging branding to reflect company values and engage company culture for employees with visual opportunities and brand-specific additional spaces.Include circulation with clear sightlines and zones to encourage movement, interaction, and collaboration.DESIGN IMPLICATIONSHARRY’S HEADQUARTERSSoho, New YorkNew Construction by Herman Miller20,000 sq. ft.UTILITYINTENTFUNCTIONBEAUTYQUALITY CONTEXTFITNESSNussbaumer, L.L.

ENVIRONMENTAL PREFERENCE THEORY suggests that humans interact with an environment through clues. These clues can allude to mystery and can provide the environment's users with direction. Due to the intuitive nature of humans to make sense of their environments (whether natural or designed), designers can implement natural clues within their environments to support the environment’s functional purpose (Robinson, 2010). An example of the theory of environmental preference within a space would be a fountain. Fountains produce a sound that can provide a sense of mystery. If the fountain is a centerpiece within a mall or airport terminal, its sounds will provide the environment's users with a sense of direction.La Truc at 375 Hudson StreetNew York, New York Renovation by Publicis Groupe Single Floor, 50,000 sq. ft.Made of Glass, Steel, & Concrete Adjacent to Additional Building Tenants, SoHo, & Hudson SquareAn open circulation office plan uses a variety of landmarks to assistin occupant wayfindingDESIGN THEORY PRECEDENT STUDY – ENVIRONMENTAL PREFERENCEThe Publicis Group conceptualized La Truc in response to post-pandemic office space needs. In juxtaposition to housing traditional offices with a strictly enforced hierarchical structure and individualized stations, the Publicis Group opted for a spread-out office space with a floor plan that equally offers workplace privacy and supports collaboration. The primary challenge of the project was balancing between form and function.Meant to provide its users with a sense of beauty and mystery, La Truc’s designers niched out corners to provide a sense of discovery and reward its users for exploring. La Truc supports environmental preference theory through its ability to arrange itself within organized spaces while maintaining its sense of complexity and mystery. Color-coded rooms imply notions of privacy and indicate appropriate noise levels while large pods imply public collaboration. Small niches allow for semi-private work and inspire creativity. Abuse of the office space could result from an improperly communicated office culture and would not be the fault of environmental preference theory itself.DESIGN IMPLICATIONSOffice spaces should provide both private, semi- private, and public spaces for its users.The purpose of an individual space within an office should be intuitive.Office spaces should encourage a sense of exploration and discovery.Robinson, L.B., & Parman, A., T.

DESIGN THEORY PRECEDENT STUDY – PROXEMICSPROXEMICS as it relates to privacy and territoriality involves studying and observing how humans interact with and perceive space. This is done specifically by analyzing social distances, crowding, territoriality, control, dominance, and privacy. Territoriality is introduced in the creation of personal territories through either visible or invisible boundaries.The 45 Whitfield Street Office in Fitzrovia, London, was built in the 1970s and needed restoration to make it habitable again after years of neglect. In 2023, dMFK Architects of London were tasked with the restoration and their new design offers 10,557 square feet of wellbeing-focused flexible workspace (dMFK, 2023). Throughout the design process, dMFK Architects encountered challenges related to the dilution of the building's character due to previous cosmetic renovations and the need to strike a balance between the existing 1970s features and the introduction of more contemporary elements. The design team opted to expose the original concrete structure, restoring the building to its original unadorned state. This decision aimed to bring back the authenticity of the structure that had been compromised over time. The team implemented a strategy of carefully curated finishes, seamlessly marrying the inherent characteristics of the 1970s architecture with high-quality contemporary elements such as statement lights. By doing so, the design successfully navigated the challenges posed by the building's history and created a cohesive and harmonious blend of past and present elements within the space.Proxemics acknowledges that individuals perceive and interact with space based on cultural and personal factors. In this context, the decision to reveal the unadorned concrete structure caters to a sense of authenticity and spatial honesty, respecting the original character of the building. The design decision to blend 1970s features with contemporary elements reflects an understanding of how individuals relate to and navigate diverse characteristics.DESIGN IMPLICATIONSRespect the surrounding architectural history and blend it with more contemporary styles without loosing the original emotion of the space.Respect the surrounding architectural history and blend it with more contemporary styles without loosing the original emotion of the space.Maximize views and desirable scenery while also incorporating visually pleasing artwork or sculptures that reinforce the brand’s identity.43 Whitfield Street OfficeFitzrovia, LondonRenovation by dMFK Architects 10,577 sq. ft.dMFK Architects.

DESIGN CONCEPT14HELIOCENTRISM is the astronomical model which casts the sun as the dominant star and center of the earth’s solar system. Inspired by Nicolaus Copernicus, a 16th-century astronomer who discovered the heliocentric model, Coperni has opted to borrow the Copernicus namesake to best represent their commitment to the Renaissance ideals of innovation and technical discovery. As a result, the following design solution for Coperni will utilize geometric repetition and primary forms, such as circles and ellipses, in the style of technical drawings and charts from the Copernican Revolution. The design solution will also be driven by the complexity of the celestial systems. In addition, the architectural patterns within the design solution will assist users in wayfinding as supported by the environmental preference theory. Lastly, using the intense gravitational pull of curvilinear lines and forms as expressed in features such as the monumental staircase and the custom lighting pendants, the design solution will empower its users to explore their innate creativity just as Copernicus once explored the stars.Inspirational Parti03.25.2024

“GLITCHING RUNWAY” SPECIAL EFFECT WALL SECTION38SCALE: 3/8” – 1’-0”DIGITALLY PRINTED GRID WALL GRAPHICFAUX ALCOVES WITH A LAYER OF POLYMER DISPERESED LIQUID CRYSTAL FILM INBETWEEN TWO LAYERS OF GLASSWhen occupants walk past this wall (see plan view for marker) on the second level of Coperni’s office, it will appear as though some of Coperni’s runway models are walking toward them and “glitching” in and out of view. This special effect is achieved using polymer dispersed liquid crystal film. When light is projected onto this type of film, the film becomes clear to reveal that these four alcoves do not really exist. Four projectors, recessed within the frames of the four faux alcoves, emit light at unpredictable times to achieve this “glitchy” illusion of light.03.25.2024Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystals – Materiability.
