Photo Essay - Design Signature or Recycled Vision

The inspiration behind this photo essay springs from my current job position as a graduate design assistant for Endicott College. Endicott’s campus is vastly expanding, with two academic building renovations, three new campus buildings within the past 3 years and a handful of new design projects developing, I have had the opportunity to explore and research the field of educational design. The focus of this essay is to explore what could be a recurring element within a handful of interior spaces and architectural designs as well as to ignite a conversation of a potentially larger issue designers face today; the incorporation of a design signature or recycling design vision.

After resonating on this subject, I came to the realization that this is not an unfamiliar occurrence. The compiled images below show a handful of architects, designers, buildings, and interiors whose work may prompt the question of signature vs. recycled vision.
