A7: Movement – Alwyn Rutherford

“UMBRELLA SPACE”Work completed outside of class time.

 

Movement on the sidewalk is affected by use of umbrellas during rainy weather: some areas require me to narrowly pass other pedestrians.

 

Underneath the umbrella, the experience of water changes depending on overhead structures (which block and redirect water) and the movement of vehicles (which create spray/mist).

 

1. Experience of raindrops in the middle of the sidewalk.
2. Experience of raindrops while entering an overhead structure.
3. Experience of raindrops while standing next to an active road.

 

ANIMATION: PERUGIA SIDEWALK ACCESSIBILITY

Work completed outside of class time.

In this short animation, I have illustrated some accessibility issues with the sidewalk outside Perugia Cafe, and suggested design solutions.

  1. Bike racks are positioned such that pedestrians who are visually-impaired would run into bikes that stick out into the pathway. This is also an issue for everyone using the sidewalk as they need to maneuver around the bikes.
  2. For visually-impaired people, there is no indication of where the doorway to Perugia is located.

I have also suggested some possible solutions to these issues:

  1. Paving material change in front of the cafe doorway to indicate (tactile) that this area is of interest.
  2. Turn bike rack 90 degrees to move bikes out of the pathway. Extend the gravel section to encompass this entire area which indicates (tactile) that this area is not intended for walking.

 

UBC Forestry Building Atrium

Work completed in class time.

Mapping the Forestry building atrium. Showing how people are choosing to move through the space. Arrow sizes indicate volume of traffic.
Section drawing of Forestry building atrium. Showing the experience of light pouring in through the lofty glass ceiling, while being surrounded by tall pillars and the ceiling supporting structure.

Ashley Fleck | Assignment 7 – Movement

In this assignment, I explored my movement through my apartment. I noticed the difference in stride length from when I approach my apartment in contrast with my shuffling/sliding movements within my apartment. I also found a few similar patterns and habits I have created in how I move around my space- one being the grabbing of the wall each time I pass around the corner into the hallway, and another the way I rotate and step up from my dining table.

Staircase To Wreck Beach 

First Encounter, where the trail pulls you off of the road and into the forest.

Next I attempted to ‘map’ this trail/staircase using Lidar… partly for my own memory/mapping later on and partly as an experiment in Lidar iPhone mapping… My focus was on the progression of the trail, as it leads away from UBC towards Wreck Beach and the Ocean, and the associated experience and feeling with this movement.

The final four images are perspective moments in the Augmented Reality map created by my iPhone Lidar Scan (3D Scanner App). The first two perspectives show movement from inside the forested trail, outward toward the beach, focusing on the revealing of the ocean and view, and the building up of this through sound and smell. The last two images show the reverse direction and moving upward back towards the forest away from the beach. This was my natural progression during this assignment: first down, then slowly back up.

In class:

Trying to show the height of this planter on a ramp, while unsure if the people the ramp is actually for can enjoy the planter as much as I can.

Assignment 7:

Movement, speed and things I noticed about the way I move through my space!
