assignment 01
axonometric
sketches
In this exercise I selected an object and created a series of drawings that de-scribed the object in ways that allowed the viewer to better understand the nature of that object. Object: BROWNIE camera
Plan
two sections
two elevations

assignment 02
In this exercise using the same object from assignment one, 1 produced a se-ries of drawings using Rhino. The drawings further investigated the BROWNIE camera by critically selecting and positioning the cutting planes to produce the respective drawings. Object: BROWNIE camera

assignment 03PART 1
Three LRT stations, 7th St W, 8th St W, and Sunalta, were recorded and Sunalta Station was chosen for documentation over other locations due to:• location west of downtown core• single track LRT line• restrictive access to platform.
Characteristics of station:• enclosed building with exposed
ceiling over train tracks• entrance to platform is accessed
through a single stair or elevator• benches are available periodically
on platform for areas to rest.
Additional footage was recorded at Sunalta on the east bound track at 7am and 7pm.
Video was reviewed and the conclusion was made on what information would be mapped:• location of people on platform
as they wait for the train• time spent on platform• social connectivity they were
engaged in.
Evening and morning non-peak time periods were overlapped to compare the difference in density of individuals, movement patterns, social activities and frequency of trains.
A simple platform graphic was created to emphasize the main information being portrayed. The yellow line is a general marker at all platform locations and used to orientate the viewer. Seating and entrance points are also indicated.
Line stroke increased by 0.5 pt for every ten seconds an individual was active on the platform.
Colour depicts the time of day that individuals were active on the platform.
Icons represent social activity using common visual language.

Platform was divided into grid so that individuals could be mapped by location.
Developed a process for mapping informative factors on grid.
Icon conventions were created to communicate individual social connectivity.

In this exercise, in a group with two others, we produced a series of diagrams to communicate time based information about the Sunalta LRT station. We first took video of the site, analysed the video for information, and converted the information into visual data. Mapping: Social Interaction

assignment 03PART II
In this exercise, utilizing the same site in part one, in groups, we represented the physical dimensions of the site and chose one key aspect of the site to represent as a diagram. Diagraming: Site lines

assignment 04
In this exercise, I explored protocols for translating my studio outputs into digi-tally produced prototypes/models of my work. Specifically, by producing a stu-dio project (compression cube) using flat cut production techniques using the laser cutter in the shop.Digital Fabrication: Studio Compression Cube

assignment 05
In this exercise, I explored producing images of my work using digital media production techniques - Rhino and photoshop; focusing on selecting an ap-propriate point of view to expose the conceptual basis of my work. Photo 1: reading space in Riley ParkPhoto 2: dog den for shark dog

assignment 08MY GRANDMOTHER’S brownie CAMERA
For our first assignment we were asked to draw a small object. I selected an old Brownie camera that I found at my parent’s home. I had no idea that this camera was my late grandmother’s.
I used different weighted pens to draw the camera.
When taking apart the camera to measure it, I discovered old film still in the camera. When I looked closer, I could see photos of my grandmother.
My parents confirmed that my grandmother always had her Brownie on hand.
I used rulers to measure and draw.
I started drafting on trace paper and finished my drawings on velum.

BROWNIE CAMERA
The popular Brownie camera was a simple and inexpensive camera made by Eastman Kodak in the early 1900s. The Brownie made low-cost photography mainstream and intro-duced the concept of snapshot photography.

assignment 10
In this exercise, in the same group as above plus one other, we built a model of the last assignment (kasian gallery and two different articulated walls). We did this with our drawings and plus one’s drawings, comparing both for accuracy.
