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.

Walking in Pacific Spirit Park, with a daycare on one side and the forest on the other. Chirping birds, laughing children and my own movement in the wet earth were the most prominent sounds. Image on the left I tried to draw how the sounds felt. Image on the right I tried a 3d scan of the forest and then imposed a digital version of the sounds. Below is the audio file that corresponds with the experience.

Walking the beach on Stanley Park I mapped the sites my dog, Felix, stopped and was sniffing. I imagined that he was able to smell what I could not. The green saturation spots are where I tried to represent what those smells might feel like for him. Below, while on site, I 3d scanned the places he was most interested in.

Smelling Stanley Park. Below are three images that represent not what I smelled while at the park but how I noticed the air felt and how smell hung in the air. On the beach the air smelled fresh and light and transient. As we moved deeper into the forest the air clung to the place, it felt less light and more heavy.
