IN CLASS: Granville Island Field Trip

Outside of CLASS: Dinner at Sula Indian Restaurant

School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA), University of British Columbia
In class activity:
Line drawings, showing the pitch of each sound
Video of grand piano sound:
By compiling three sound videos, I could recognize that the major vibrant sound is different by moving around the space while he was playing the piano.
All three sounds have the merged sound of talking, piano, and etc as the background in common.
Talking for the first clip, half talking and half piano for the second clip, and piano melody and the sound, created by hitting the keys for the third clip are the major sound for each one.
At Home
I looked at the different kinds of paving near the nest and bus loop as I ride though there on my skateboard often. I hate this area because there’s a lot of variation in paving and almost all of the paving is brick, which is not well suited to riding a skateboard on.
Analysis of comfortability and distances travelled on each pavement per 1 push. Pavement D, which is the smooth concrete on the basketball court is by far the best. I am proposing a path system running through this area to improve mobility for people on skateboards.
It would be interesting to conduct this same analysis on a wheelchair. I am curious if the experience of this space is much different for a wheelchair user as opposed to a skateboarder.
in class:
guessing where on the piano is being played , vertical axis is time, horizontal axis is the piano.
At home
I went on a walk in my neighborhood and sat on a bench near a fence and some trees. I couldn’t see behind the fence or trees at all, but I could hear this was a construction site of some sort. This is a map of where I could hear sounds coming from the site, and my subsequent analysis.
Pt 2: Windplay
Taking advantage of a tunnel to get more airflow.
