The bench was buried in the forest, overlooking the river and the beach. I began to register sounds and map them according to time, sound level, location and relative placement (left and right ears).
Flying geese panned from the left ear to the right ear, and a distant conversation in the right ear was picked up. The humming from the road across the river, leaves fluttering in the wind and crickets acted as the blanketing background noise.
Physical features such as the reflectivity and stillness of water, the seasonal fall of leaves and stacking on the soil and transition from concrete surface, to soil, down to the water’s edge.
Noting sensorial experiences such as the mild and calm breeze, the sharp change in temperature on the cold bench in comparison to the slow heat loss from the air, and general stillness of the space.
Water stillness and calm; steep slope down to the waterfront; fallen leaves around trees.

The anlysis of interrior mositure was taken from my apartment. The blue colour represents the humid moisture from mug, sink, toilet, bath tube, and kitchen sink. The orange colour means the heat from the heater.
The drawing shows an experience of sense of touching. When I touch the wall, my warm hand can feel the cooler wall.
This a sound analysis. Sounds from my laptop and fridge are dramectically different in dense and rythem.

In class exercise
I mapped my route in my house with special attention to how my bare feet feel. It was my feet’s journey, so I only showed where my feet had stepped on and minimized other parts of my house. I started when my feet were on a soft footrest on top of a carpet. Then my feet could feel the different floor surface materials and temperatures. My bed was cold after a long day and I jumped to feel the softness. When I walked out of my room, my feet suddenly feel the heat delivered through the marble tile.
Assignment 6
For this assignment, I explored the temperature strategy that I used in class. I drew the objects on my desk.
Physical temperature – See by hands
Red represents higher temperature and blue represents lower temperature. I touched every object on my desk to feel the temperature. The running laptop and monitor, as well as food and water are warm. I just held my phone and mouse so they are slightly warm too.
Visual temperature – See by eyes
Thinking about colours, materials, size and patterns, visually attractive objects have higher temperature (in red) that means higher chance of my eyes looking at them. My eyes would tend to notice dark, dense pattern, hard surface/edges, and big/obvious objects. My desk is white which is strongly contrasting with dark objects. I would argue that food is always the most visually attractive than other objects on my desk.
Emotional temperature – See by the heart?
This is how I see the objects on my desk with my internal feelings. Technologies seem cold as they are not made from live or natural materials. They don’t have any human properties even though they are probably smarter than me. Objects that have higher emotional temperature are associated with comfort, memory, culture, warmth, softness, and positive energy.

For this assignment I studied the textures on my patio and how they contribute to the experience of the space. The building is from the 1970s and the patio has had minimal updates.
