Week 14 City as Site Part 5
Jan 08, 2020
Since this week assignment is to write a synthesis about the project, I wrote it and uploaded on https://docs.google.com/document/d/137crjRAcVaEu3BgIJl-D7ek53u563ODNIyXazvvn1Wg/edit?usp=sharing. One thing I want to mention here is what I am going to do in the future. I am taking three classes this semester, and through them I found myself very interested in food and culture. In this class Ideation&Prototyping, I was able to work on food in terms of IDM community and health, by learning many different methods/concepts and ideation.…

Survey I conducted a short survey to hear feedback from participants. A survey consisted of only 4 questions and was done via google survey for the sake of easiness and 5 out of 6 participants replied so far.

Week 11 City as Site Part 2

This week I spent most of my time to interview people. Based on the interviews so far, I was able to temporarily validate my hypothesis that people have trouble with their lunch experience at IDM (see details below). My memo is uploaded here. Next week, I will keep on doing interview and also make a list of things to do (including budget to propose so that hopefully I can get funding from IDM) to organize a lunch event after thanksgiving holiday.…

Week 10 City as Site Part 1
Jan 06, 2020
Assignment from City As Site. I have been struggling to pick up one site for this assignment. Since this is a five week assignment, I want to pick up the one which I can accomplish a result and make it sustainable (or at least find a step to make it sustainable). Considering that, I want to pick up a site which I am interested in/motivated to work on. This week I was only able to pick one site to work on with some rough idea about research/observation/prototyping.…

Week 9 Ways of Seeing
Jan 06, 2020
Assignment from WAYS OF SEEING. Storyboard I am a spider. As yet I have no name. I’ve no idea where I was born. All I remember is that I was making silk in a dampish dark place when, for the first time, I saw a cat. This cat, I heard afterwards, was a member of the laziest cat species; an Ieneko, one of those cats who, in return for being taken care of by two human beings, perform cute actions in their house.…

Week 8 370 Jay St Part 3
Jan 06, 2020
As decided in the last week, I focused on how to improve the usage of the sink in kitchen area. To tell the conclusion first, it was successful that people started using the sink cleaner. In addition, there were some unexpected interactions/activities at the kitchen area, which implies people started being conscious of kitchen area. Considering the amount of not-much work I put in this activity and the improvement of the kitchen sanity, I felt that IDM people have high standard of self-discipline.…

I will focus on that for the part 3.…

Week 5 Time Cupsule Part 3
Jan 06, 2020
Storyboard Process and explanation First of all, I assume humans develop without any fatal troubles in the future. Humans will be still alive and live happy life, technology will develop successfully, no nuclear war and the earth will be still ok to live. Then, I think about how people in 2145 create songs. One possible future is that, because of the development of technology, computer output a song based on input, i.…
