In-class exercise – The taste of Granville Island
Drinking Object: Glass-Half-Full
School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA), University of British Columbia
Below is a series of flavor profiles I have sketches for various foods found at the Granville Island Market.
For the drinking object, my approach was to conduct a short literature review on glass shape and size and alcohol consumption before designing a vessel. Because I wanted the olfactive experience of drinking to pertain, I have added a curved spout which directs the smell directly in the user’s nose.

Assignment 9:
I went for dinner for a friend’s birthday to the Stable House! It was the perfect dinner to use for this assignment. All of the dishes we shared were truly an experience in my mouth. I tried to use these gifs to highlight the range of experiences as they happened with three dishes.

Assignment 10 Part 2: Drinking Object
The idea behind this glass is that the front of it would act as a magnifying glass, magnifying the liquid within it and making it appear as though the glass is much fuller than it already is. To ensure that users would view the liquid through the front, the back of the glass would be shaped with finger grips and a handle to slot their hand through.
