VCUarts Qatar Reception

What: Reception Desk

When: 2021

Where: Qatar

The concept of this reception, located at VCUQ in Education City, is to combine the art and science field of design through the design of the reception area.

​

By using a parametric design it allows the guests to get a first glimpse of what VCUarts is about. The ceiling design creates a connection and bond between the physical display (columns) and the digital display (interactive screens). 

Keeping the tones neutral and simple, allows the reception to blend in with the rest of the building, but still adds flavor to the space. The eight columns on the left side of the space discourage the viewer from directly walking into the building without paying a visit to the reception desk. The columns also act as a display area to display artworks and collectibles that VCU has. Interactive screens situated by the entrance, allow the visitor to see VCUarts Qatar’s website and see a digital display of student work.
