Eric and Anna Gustafson Residence, Designers Jiani Yao and Xinran Chen
No full textEric and Anna Gustafson have purchased a residential lot near Lake Minnetonka, in Waysata, Minnesota. They have hired Jiani Yao and Xinran Chen to develop a four-thousand square foot house plan, reflecting their client’s interests in history, global cultures, and modern technology. Eric is a hockey coach and Anna is a museum curator. Their children are grown, but are frequent visitors. Eric’s mother, Elsa is recovering from cancer and will be staying with the family for a few months while she recovers. Methodology included systematically researching client preferences and special needs, and also examining the building site. The team determined that the Gustafson’s desired a mixture of two different Asian styles, Chinese and Japanese. In addition, Elsa may require wheelchair use and children desire bedroom suites. The team’s design concept is based on the Japanese tatami grid system and incorporates a traditional Chinese style ceiling frame and multiple custom designed furniture, lighting, and finish elements. Integrating Chinese and Japanese historical elements with contemporary construction, created harmony and unity in the home. To accommodate Elsa’s needs, the team developed interiors according to ADA and Universal Design guidelines. The design process has broad significance in that it reflects a global world where interior designers have the dual responsibility of maintaining accuracy in traditional designs of various cultures, while reinterpreting designs to suit contemporary use. Though there is no standard approach, as this project demonstrates there are multiple solutions.</p

Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director
