I started by walking without sight, down a set of stairs in the orchard. The lines represent the experience of my hand, the experience of my foot, with annotations and connected to a axonometric mapping of the actual staircase.
Next I set out to diagram the vibrations of the various handrails, where some feel really unstable and some felt really secure. Ultimately in connection to how well they are supported by walls.
Lastly for homework I wanted to explore the relationship between the door and stairwell in the landscape annex – the most awkward door I have ever encountered. I wanted to try a new style of sketching directly on top of digital photography. In this case it was only somewhat successful.

Assignment 06
In-class exercise: Tactile studies of ergonomics and comfort of concrete bench in Buchanan courtyard.
At home: Tactile body experience of foot on floor materials
Touch map of feet on floor materials. Areas where floor materials were wet, had low friction materials, and grade changes required more cautious footsteps. Areas that were flat, dry with higher friction materials allowed for more carefree, comfortable footsteps.

Assignment 06-Charlotte Chen
I spent a couple of hours in Starbucks close to my home. One of the strongest senses I got as soon as I walked into the café is the smell of the coffee, which remained noticeable when I was talking to the cashier and barista. (showed in red on drawings, may not clear after scanning. ) Audio filled in the small space-people chatting(more on the front desk side, and outside seating), machine functioning, alarms. Yellow lines show the main routes I noticed during my stay in the café.
I sat on a black smooth wooden chair, with a round table that had brown wood pattern on its surface. The window next to me was framed with silver metals.
