Assignment 11: Seeing > Visual Thinking > Idea – José Torres

At-home exercise:

For this activity, I have chosen gutters as the focus of my analysis and re-imagining. Frequently, people tend to overlook the calming and pleasant properties of water features. In a city like Vancouver, there are ideal conditions to bring small projects to life that can uplift the community’s mood.

For the open gutter format, I have chosen to incorporate rotating pieces that emulate flowers or windmills. This not only adds an aesthetic touch but also serves the practical purpose of minimizing the impact of water on the soil, preventing any adverse effects on biodiversity caused by the force of the free fall.

As for the closed gutter format, I’ve opted to increase the amount of material used and make it transparent. This allows people sitting around to appreciate the movement of water through the pipe around the columns.
