4. Client Profile
The Institute of Culinary Arts will be opening a new school in Santé Fe, New Mexico. This branch of the Institute will be focusing its instruction and culinary creations on Spanish and Mexican Cuisines. Luca Ruiz has accepted the position as administrator of the new branch. He will be the main point of contact in the project of developing the interior of the new building that the Institute has purchased in west Santé Fe. Mr. Ruiz has a significant history as a restaurateur and businessman. He currently owns several restaurants throughout the South West United States and Mexico. He has also been the assistant administrator for another culinary school in Mexico for five years, making him the perfect candidate for this position starting the new branch. The Institute has requested that the design style of their new building integrate their standards for contemporary modern style while also integrating the “old world” Spanish feeling.

45. Reflection
I am very happy with my design. I feel that I have met the client’s needs and given them a space that is suitable for their new branch of The Culinary Institute. I was able to stick to my intended design concept “Fire and Water” through the use of bold color choices and non-rectilinear layouts. I like the most, the choice to use curved walls in the hallways and café area. I think this gave the building the most movement without wasting any floor space. The addition of the decorative glass in a portion of this wall added to this element. The design process that I used was based on the standard design process. I first completed my client development. In this stage I would have interviewed the client and determined their needs. I would have also researched the area, the building, the particular design style, the design needs of this type of establishment, the building codes required, any evidence based design information needed, and any branding that the client would need to include. Second, I began planning the design in the schematic design phase. For this I created 2 different layouts based on the adjacency matrix I had developed. From these two plans I would develop a final floor plan out of the one that would fit the client’s needs the best. Third, I developed the design. I finalized the floor plan, ensuring that all corridors, restrooms, doorways and other important areas met ADA compliance. I also ensured that space for task was sufficient. I found the various furnishings, finishes, equipment, and artwork that would fit in the space, go with the overall design theme and would obtain sufficient LEED credits for the project. Fourth, I put together the construction documents. This included marking the floor plan with the appropriate dimensions and detail markers, creating elevations of key areas, developing a wall construction detail, finalizing the lighting plan, and compiling all the finishes into a cohesive schedule. Last, I finalized the presentation by creating a presentation board for the space.
