Framing A Dream...
The third year interior design studio at Arizona State University, under the direction of Professor Jose Bernardi, has a design project where the objective is to design and build a frame, inspired by the dream of a child being treated long-term at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. The foundation of the project is to understand and develop joints and connections. The secondary focus is to create a frame for a dream, something that serves as a tangible representation of a child’s wishes. Upon completion of the project, the students should generate a piece of art that is both meaningful and aesthetically pleasing. After displaying the frames at the school, the frames were donated to the children as gifts.

This project was created through collaboration among Professor Jose Bernardi, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, IIDA Southwest Chapter, and Tony Sola of Acoustics.com.

Becca is 12 years old, her wish is "to meet the author of Nancy Drew books".

Our intent when building this frame was to build an object that engages the user; an object that they can interact with and use over and over again. The frame celebrates the dreamer’s desire to solve a mystery or to discover an unexpected surprise. It serves as a frame and a book holder, and it cannot perform its function unless the mystery is solved.
The construction of the frame was a challenge. The difficulty of constructing a structurally sound object forced us to make some compromises during the design process, and they add to the quality of the final product. In fact, the changes made during the process are not compromises at all. They are embellishes that make a piece of art complete.
