In Interior Design VII we were to design a museum in Germantown in the current Field House of the Germantown Friend's School. The program of the museum was either to be that of a textile museum, a cultural museum, or an architecture history museum. My selection was the architecture history museum; upon researching about Germantown's architecture history, I was intrigued by the tension and progression of architecture from Colonial times to present times and its reflection of the social issue of slavery and the underground railroad. The majority of residences in Germantown served as stations of the underground railroad, which supported the concept of tension and progression or encapsulation to freedom. The idea of the design was create spaces of encapsulation and freedom while mimicing the intimate feeling of residential architecture. The design was based from the structure's original grid system then shifted through each level to create unique spaces that come to the core of the building to evoke the sensation of movement from encapsulation to freedom - giving users moments pause and clarity within the central hub of the design.
