HEALING WINGS

Designed a Pediatric Unit known as "Healing Wings" for the Baton Rouge General Pediatric Center

at Mid City. The client expressed specific needs for the design including adding a play area and giving the

unit an identity for children to feel more comfortable. The design inspiration came from a bird flock. Birds fly together as one family unit just as this pediatric unit works as one unit to help children. The design concept focuses on Louisiana; Birds of Louisiana transformed into Origami birds for children to relate; Mississippi river is a big attraction in Louisiana - created to make the environment more relatable so that the unit would feel like home rather then a hospital setting. Pop up card was made to give to a sick child in the hospital unit. Renders were developed through the program SketchUp and edited in Photoshop.
