Kelsey Hawthorne

BS in Environmental Design — Spatial Experience Design

Safe Ninos

In collaboration with Doreen Zhang, and Jingxin Liu. We partnered with Coaniquem, a Santiago, Chile based nonprofit who provides free burn treatment to children from underserved communities across Latin America. For a duration of two weeks, we immersed ourselves in Chile, employing participatory research methods to understand the needs of children, parents, and staff at Coaniquem.
Learning Outcomes:
Our collective experiences in Chile became the driving force behind our mission—to craft an innovative design for the second floor of the upcoming campus in Concepción. Every lesson learned and every heartfelt connection made contributed to shaping a space that not only reflects but is deeply inspired by the essence of our time in Chile.
