About the Project
Academic Work
Project Details: Showcase, Speculative Design, Environmental Design
Completed as a Solo Project
Tools Used: Adobe Illustrator and InDesign
Urban Oasis is a glimpse into a green future, asking, “What if all our buildings, public, commercial, and residential, were green buildings to combat climate change and create simpler living?” Following the direction of already established ideas in green architecture and biophilic design, Urban Oasis focuses on the possibility of an entirely green future. These green concepts are rooted in the visual identity and are integrated throughout the architectural drawings and a model of a green residential building, immersing the viewer in an urban oasis. The cohesive visuals create a sense of peace and balance, while inspiring us to reconnect and give back to nature.

Personas
The personas discovered during the research process were included in the magazine not only as people affected by this green future, but also as characters within the storyline built. It was important that they were displayed but effectively portrayed in a context that was not out of place.
