Visual
Visual technology enables the user to comprehend the shoe’s function from a distance.
Light
The shoe must be both visually and physically light in order to meet hiker’s needs.
Natural
A hiker’s shoe must connect with it’s environment.
Sketch Phase 1
The initial sketch phase focused on getting air in from outside the shoe to help cool the foot.
Sketch Phase 2
Rethinking the direction sketch phase 2 focuses on storing and distributing cold air from the midsole to help cool the foot.
Mesh
Mesh composite allows upper to breath. forefoot, lateral & medial, tongue
Weld
Mid sole constructed from two pieces being heat-welded together. welding allows for a mid sole air bladder
Leather
Tumbled leather ads protection from rough hiking terrain. heel counter, ankle guard, eye stay, toe guard.

Gown Needs Needs are derived from on site research, professional consults and testimonies.
Accessibility Needs bars represent the level of importance of each need.
Doctors need to be able to access the patient easily without disturbing the patient.

The closed back feature increases patient mental comfort level with a hospital and keeps the patient warmer which promotes an active recovery without the need for a robe or second gown.

The Collar rids the patient of any confusion with how to put the patient gown on as well as aiding to patient moral.
? By creating front opening gown doctors are allowed easier access to the patients. Cables or devices attached to the patient can easily come out the front of the gown instead of feeding them through a sleeve.

Back Slit
Three Snap Closure

Gown Colours
By relating gown colours to their sizes not only are the gowns easier to sort and distribute; the new patient gown requires no tag stating its size. Now patients will no longer be offended by the larger sized gown they are issued.

GE INTERSECTION
A team project with designers Jovan Popovic and Ian Jaye.
Repurposing your
green energy,
roadways to produce
GE is changing the way you look at common traffic intersections. By integrating cutting-edge piezoelectricity technology into crosswalks, we have made this intersection fully self sustaining. GE saves your earth and saves your money.
GE presents a new way to walk across the street. With new piezoelectric charging, we are changing the green movement to blue.
Inspired by a Pothole
potholes are a problem, but can they be reused for good?
Potholes are a major problem on the roads of Detroit. This basis of this project was origionally inspired by the issues caused by potholes and how they could be reduced, repaired, or reused.
The initial idea for this project was to reuse potholes by filling them with a mechanism to harvest heat energy from the road and the sun.
We decided that filling potholes was rather narrow minded. We decided that finding larger areas of real-estate would be much more efficient, even if we had to dig our own, bigger pothole.
Our final direction was to create a new cross-walk using kinetic energy to collect electricity instead of heat and solar energy.
Charging Cross Walk Walk or drive over this cross walk to produce an electric charge under your feet.
GE blue Romark Reflective Road Marking Tape marks the crosswalk. A layer of hard rubber is sandwiched in between the tape and the charging panels.
Electrifying Intersection Piezoelectric panels produces electricity from the movements and vibrations of pedestrians and cars rolling over the cross walk.
Piezoelectric technology
An Electric Road Charging pads set under the cross-walk collect energy from the vibrations of pedestrians and traffic moving across.
Piezoelectric Charging Microscopic crystals embedded in the charging pads give off an electric charge when agitated. Magnets amplify this and then channel it to batteries.
Lithium Batteries Piezoelectric charging panels channel energy to lithium ion batteries which then pipe energy to traffic signals, lights and cameras in the intersection.
LED, low energy light All electricity produced by the piezoelectric chargers is piped into the GE Traffic Light, GE Traffic Posts, and GE Traffic Cams.
The first self-sustaining intersection of its kind
cones direct light downwards plexiglass light encasing
G.E. Traffic Post Low energy consuming LED lights clearly illuminate the streets at night. A battery pack in the bottom of the post collects electriciy throughout the day and stores it until dark, where light sensors then trigger the energy to pe piped to the lights. Cones inside the plexiglass encasing direct the light downwards.

G.E. Traffic Cam The G.E. Traffic Cam is powered by electricity piped through the traffic post it is perched on. It keeps an eye on the traffic surrounding the intersection, as well as the people that are commuting through the area. The design features a 360 degree view enabled by its rotating cameras and high elevation in the intersection. It encompasses the benefits of safety and practicality all in one.

FLYING SQUIRRELS HAVE WEBBING FROM FRONT TO BACK FEET WHICH ALLOWS FOR A LONGER FLIGHT TIME. FLYING SQUIRRELS DO NOT USE PROPELED FLIGHT LIKE BATS BUT INSTEAD GLIDE LIKE WINGSUITS. FLYING SQUIRRELS ARE CAPABLE OF TRAVELING 295 FEET.
A MINIMUM OF 500 SKYDIVES ARE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR WINGSUIT LESSONS. LESS THAN 10 WINGSUIT FLYING ACADEMIES IN THE UNITED STATES.

MOST WINGSUIT PILOTS WORK AT SKYDIVE LOCATIONS AS CAMERA CREW, TRAINERS AND/OR TANDEM PILOTS. SKYDIVERS PAY WINGSUIT PILOTS TO SHOOT VIDEOS OF THEIR JUMPS. WINGSUITS ALLOW CAMERAMEN TO MOVE BETWEEN JUMPERS QUICKER AND EASIER.
A WINGSUIT PILOT’S FREEFALL CAN LAST UP TO 3 TIMES AS LONG AS A SKYDIVER’S FREEFALL. MOST WINGSUITS HAVE A GLIDE RATIO AROUND 2.5:1 (2.5 METERS FORWARD FOR EVERY METER YOU DROP).
