The design of this tea cup is inspired by the ones my grandma used to serve us tea. Every time we go to visit her she serves us tea and if I’m being honest, I am not the biggest fan of the tea she serves. So, to be polite, I designed this little tea cup that from the outside would look the same, but only a quarter of the cup could be filled with tea and I could slowly sip it away.

For this assignment, I wanted to document this little seating area I often walk by. I find the design to be quite dysfunctional as there is one bench at the end of a small water fountain, however, the bench provides no back support for anyone sitting on it and you have to sit facing away from the water feature unless you want your feet to go in the water… Additionally, the ground is quite uneven so you walk on sloped pavers embedded in the grass lawn to get to the bench. It feels very unnatural.

For the at home portion of Assignment 6 I documented the textures at my studio desk in Lasserre. Although I engage with this space everyday, I never really considered the materials in it. My general conclusion is that the space is very bland and after zooming in on all the materials it is very dirty!

I was not in attendance for this class but executed the exercise at home.

For this assignment, I tried to analyze a stormwater management system that is a part of the new developments on Cypress Mountain. The surrounding area is still under construction but the water system has been designed to control the flow of water down the mountain face which intersects with the new development and public trail system. At this location, the water flows down and through the mountain face and is pooled into three tiered ponds before continuing its way below a small pedestrian bridge and down the mountain some more.
