We all don’t dream of going to school, getting your degree in interior design and going out into the field to design a prison, a half-way house or a homeless shelter. In all reality we might get asked to do that, we might get asked to give our services to those that do not always get the attention that they deserve and need. Designing any of these building never crossed my mind until it was brought up in class and honestly it took me a few minutes to respond. I had to think of all that I have learned, as a designer we put our own emotions aside to design a fully functional, safe space for all that occupy it. I believe that everyone deserves that privilege, even if it does come down to design a prison that has the death penalty, I know if this challenge were given to me I would have to design that room.
Also the possibility of designing an abortion clinic was talked about in class and I would have to treat them all with complete profession. I know I would have to put my emotions and options aside to put my whole effort into designing the best space for every individual. There are so many places and people that do not get an equal amount of attention as those that have the money to buy the services they desire or need. I feel that if I am approached at anytime in my career to take on anyone of these challenges, I will do it because of how strongly I believe that everyone should be treated equally.
