Ezra: Cornell's quarterly magazine

ABOUT

Below left: Ada Ng '12 holds the paper model featured on this issue's cover (right), a 4-inch by 4-inch white bristol board model created for the "walldwelling" assignment in Professor Jan Jennings' Design Studio III class (DEA 2201). The assignment is well known to nearly two decades of interior design alumni who took Jennings' class: Create a two-story wall that is scaled down from 16 feet by 16 feet and creates a dwelling space only two and a half feet deep. The assignment requires a kind of "reimagining of a tight space," Jennings says. "They have to make it look bigger without increasing the square footage much." Ng says her Brooklyn, N.Y., origins have shaped the way she sees restrictions in space. "The city is quite crowded and really dense, so this is a good play on experiencing space in a small area," she says.
