P1: INTEGRATED HEALTH CENTER
Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal painaccompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood is-sues. Researchers believe that fibrmyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals.
Possible Causes: genetics, physical trauma, surgery, infec-tion, significant psychological stress
*Women are much more likely to develop fibromyalgia than are men.
EFFECTS ON BODY SYSTEMS
Widespread pain. Constant dull ache lasting for at least three months on both sides of the body, above and below the waist.
Fatigue. Often awaken tired. Sleep disruption or disorders.
Cognitive difficulties. Inability to focus on mental tasks.
Other problems. May also experience depression, head-aches, TMJ, and pain or cramping in the lower abdomen.
DIAGNOSISPatient exhibits tenderness in 11 of 18 identified trigger points
CONDITION ASSESSMENT: FYBROMYALGIA
Trigger PointComplexTrigger Points (a) close to the cen-ter of the muscle fibre and (b) in microscopic de-tail shoping how sarcomeres of the involved fibres are longer and thinner than those of unin-volved fibres.
Tender Points, Trigger Points or “Fibro” Spots

TREATMENTS
Medication:Pain relieversAntidepressantsAnti-seizure drugs
Self-care:Reduce stressGet enough sleepExercise regularlyPace yourselfMaintain a healthy lifestyle.
Alternative Options:AcupunctureMassage therapyYoga and tai chiCounseling TherapySupport Groups
Massage therapy was rated the best fibromyalgia treat-ment option by patients.
Benefits include:
• Increased blood circula-tion to muscles, allowing for faster muscle repair
• increased flexibility• Increased range of motion• decreased stress and de-
pression• Reduced pain• Reduced stiffness• Improved sleep patterns

Clarity: Integrative Health Center for treating FibromyalgiaFibromyalgia is characterized by muscular tension at specific trigger points on the body, resulting in chronic pain, causing those who suffer from it to exist in a mental fog. The rhythm of the muscle fibers and trigger point nodules inspire paths and openings within the health center. Patients will experience smooth and gentle circulation through the space which offers relief from their condition and the harshness of the exterior.

National Academy Museum: 1083 Fifth Avenue - New YorkGalleries/Collections:The National Academy Museum holds one of the world’s largest collections of American art. Housed in an historic town-house on 5th Avenue, the Museum’s per-manent collection is comprised entirely of artist-donated works. The body of the Museum’s work—over 7,000 pieces—has been collectively built by the nation’s most prominent artists and architects.
Current Exhibitions:• Miriam Schapiro, A Visionary• An American Collection• Method Order Metric• Contemporary Highlights from the
Collection
Analysis:The National Academy Museum attempts to fea-ture the work of their students through the years. It is a beautiful space which, unfortunately competes with the art and the curators failed to assemble and feature the art in a way that draws the public there. Instead, one leavesconfused and uninspired.
MUSEUM STUDY
Failures:• Reception focuses on donors rather than art• Space/elaborate finishes often compete with the art - and win• Organization of art is not clear and some galleries do not mark or explain the pieces• Other art is not at eye level and explanations are too wordy and uninteresting• Wall colors are poorly chosen and don’t feature the art• Quality of lighting is chunky and poorly directed; does not utilize natural lighting to its
benefit• Spaces are not always contiguous making galleries feel disconnected• Feature art (e.g. Louise Bourgeois) is hidden in back gallery. There is no anticipation for
content of the next space
Successes:• The space itself is beautiful• John Portman Gallery (Method Order Metric Exhibition) keeps presentation simple and
puts sculptures at eye level
NEUE GALERIES: 1048 Fifth Avenue - New YorkGalleries/Collections:The collection includes painting, sculp-ture, works on paper, decorative arts, andphotographs created in Austria and Ger-many 1890 -1940. Austrian material em-phasizes therelationship between fine and decorative arts in Vienna circa 1900. German art fo-cuses onimportant movements of the early 20thcentury
Failures:• Photos are prohibited, as are children, and the exhibits are not interactive.
Successes:• There is a “buzz” of people waiting to get in that creates curiosity• The entrance is grand and inviting - makes good use of interior features• Organization of the art is fascinating; grouping pieces together by similarities in con-
tent and style• Explanations of exhibitions are simple, informative and well written, giving readers in-
sight into intent, influences and inspiration• Color and lighting choices are bold and impeccable
Analysis:Everything the Neue Galeries does intentionally highlights the art in the simplest of ways. It does not over explain, but explains enough. Instead of letting the space overwhelm the art, it uses the space to feature the art.

As a result of visiting several museums, the most suc-cessful characteristics that aligned with th`e design goals for the Noguchi Annex will be intentionally cu-rated as follows:
• Creating curiousity from the exterior of the building• Inviting entrance with a well marked and logical
flow through the space• Minimal Explanation on object identification cards• Well written, succinct and engaging explanation
board(s) to introduce the technique• Various display methods employed: hanging from
ceiling, hanging on wall, vitrine and floor display

DETAIL: JOINT STUDYPractical study to understand the process of joining cement (or ferrock) with glass.• Study 1 joined
materials at face of concrete with a peg through a drilled hole in the glassplanation on object identifica-tion cards
• Study 2 explored glass placed in a concrete groove
• Study 3 involved laying glass flush between notched concrete at each side.
• Study 4 embed-ded glass in con-crete as concrete was poured be-tween shaped glass set in a bed of sand with a wooden form around it.
Study 1 Study 3Study 2
Study 4: Chosen for final joint study with actual materials Trial 1: FailureConcrete too thin and not reinforced
Trial 2: Success:Concrete laid thicker and reinforced with stiiff metal wire
Final Model Results and Learnings:• Various levels of rough
vs. smooth finsh can be accomplished with troweling or different form materials
• Concrete works better in compression rather than tension. Therefore it must be reinforced with stiff wire or steel when used in compres-sion and joining corners
• To embed glass, concrete must be thicker and wrap around the edge.
• Accomplishing a consistent finish requires skill and experience.
Final Model: Ways of Seeing
