Course Summary Sketch
Assignment 11: Over the weekend I visited VanDusen Botanical Garden and documented the different flower typologies. I then created a collage sketch organizing the flowers by size.

Caleb van der Leek – Assignment 11
In-Class Assignment:
The progression of the class (its a person walking in plan, I swear)
Reviewing the brick facades of buildings on UBC campus. Both in alignment, colouring, surface finishing, and human scale.
Looking into the typologies of brick types for use in facades
Kristian Lebitania- Assignment 11
Assignment 11
Looking at window typologies of buildings in Kitsilano and at the UBC campus. Studying their form, structure, colour and reflectivity through sketching and collage.
Windows tend to frame subject matter at different times of day and create moments of pause.
Summary Collage
This summary collage of the course expresses the learning of using drawing as a mode of communication to map sensory spatial experiences. Drawing gives one the freedom to manipulate scale and draw what can’t be seen; as journeys and experiences are interpreted and expressed uniquely from person to person.

Assignment 11
Street tree photo series. Grouped by challenges with how street tree plantings have been designed.
Grouped by design opportunities: signs of care about street trees
Birth and death of street trees
Redesign/ideation: creating space for trees
Redesign/ideation: a process for street tree life cycles alongside humans
Further iterations and refinements could be made by categorizing street trees by street type (commercial, residential, arterial, highway etc.) to compare which types of challenges and opportunities are present on different types of streets. Looking at the attributes of the trees associated with cracked pavement could also be explored (species, rooting depth, age, mature size).
Summary of what I learned in the course: Sense-walking and the cube method give you a framework for making sense of the world around you. Sense-walking also helps to develop empathy as a designer, and to further understand the experiences of people with diverse sensory abilities. Sketching + engaging the senses together engage both analytical and intuitive thinking.

In-class exercise
The takeaway from the course. We started with macro-analysis of the environment exploring the relationship among sites. With cube analysis, we studied spatial circulation within the site as well as with the surroundings. As the course developed, we dig into a deeper and more detailed sense, focusing on specific objects, to learn what sensory experiences they brought to us.

In class exercise: course progress. From chaos to order every week.

walking around the neighbourhood and noticing all the different types of water features, some functional (rain water management) and some decorative, providing noise diffusion. Also noticing all the different public seating options available, from park benches to swings.

Final Img
Thinking about how the class integrated all the senses into traditional and nontraditional design drawings, I ended up using a section line as a progression from the traditional section to a more emotional and evocative types of line drawings on a page. Each sense is separated out into a diffrent style of drawing with a diffrent pen type but combines to create a whole picture on the page.
