Laureen Stokes – Assignment 11 – Taste

A palette of taste: Granville Island

 

The NEAT glass is a well researched and designed whisky snifter that maximizes the smell of whisky but not the ethanol smell.  It holds approximately 1.5oz to 2oz at the optimal fill line.  The revision incorporates a heavy glass bottom that maintains the surface area for smelling purposes and would hold roughly 0.75oz or even less.

Assignment 10

In class exercise: Documenting taste experience at Granville Island Market

At home: documenting taste experience of a raw yellow onion – a dissonant experience. Also comparable to the Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky.

Experience of eating a cooked yellow onion – a harmonious experience.

Drinking object – drafts

Lemonade drinking object – final design. The lemon scent diffuser makes it seem like there is always lemonade in the top, and the straw makes it seem like there is always lemonade in the bottom – a condition which would make it seem like the cup is always full.
