Week 1: What’s your sign Week 2: What’s yours sign redux Week 3: A journey of discover to local place of wonder Week 4: Make a wall, a windows evoke wonder Week 5: Make a wall, a windows evoke wonder redux Week 6: Make a place that evokes wonder Week 7: A spaSal journey leading to a place of wonder Week 8: Enhancing the evoked experiences within a spaSal journey leading to a place of wonder
WHAT’S YOUR SIGN COLLAGE? I use three kind of words to describe my personal sign--smart, creaSve and sad. The bulb represents creaSve. The head is smart and the dark color is sad. I combine three things to an object. I use the head as a background, bulb and dark color put into the head to create my sign.
A journey of discover to local place of wonder • Major objecSves: • Enhance spaSal sensiSviSes • Develop a visual story that describes a journey of diverse spaSal space • IdenSfy specifics of experienSal space • Using gesture drawing &collage as expressive tools evoke intended spaSal experiences of wonder
In this project, we are required to choose our photos that we took on a experienced trip to create a collage sign. To evoke our emoSon to combine the photos that we choose is a hard thing for me. This is because I have no idea to create how the new collage look like.
I try to cut dierent shape of the photos and put the brightness of the photos on right side. Then the dark of the photos on the le` side.
Charcoal exercise
MAKE A WALL AND WINDOW TO EVOKE WONDER •  The challenges is to apple & relate principles, approaches, and techniques introduced into an integrated design process of thinking and making that saSsfy the program
A wall and a window
A wall and windows
I create a wall and windows can be evoke wonder to protect people. This is because a thick wall make people safe enough. To avoid rain, wind and sunshine. I use three chipboard to sSck together. And I create a grid windows on the top right corner. Cut three dierent size squares on the middle of the wall.
A place of wonder • In this Sme, I am required to make a wall, a full noSons of floor and roof • To write a dra` of the narraSve to develop the model • Storyboard that describes the journey • design iteraSon at a selected scale • ConSnue to mend the place model
A place of wonder Strengths are when lights comes in from the "scratches" it creates very special glow. And the curves created a gentle flow through out a journey. Weakness the curve flow is not leading anywhere there are no openings at the end of the flow. So the journey ends where the curve ends and the person will be stuck at the corner.
A place of wonder
In this Sme, I change the straight wall to a curved wall. This is because I want to make more dynamic and connect the right and le` wall. I also create a tunnel for a entrance.
Final Project
Bridging Gaps

Project Requirements • “StraSfied Wonder: experiencing the transience of beauty, the unexpected, the unfamiliar, and the inexplicable” In this Sme, students were required to be a group to do the final project. Our group create and design a big model at outside of the courtyard. Each design that a member of a group to create individual model should evoke “StraSfied Wonder”
Individual design • For this Sme, I want to use triangles to build a design. This is because I know triangles are very stable. Before I get this a lille idea, I watched the TV show that one people show how to play a Rubik’s Cube. I found the squares consStute a object. This is why I want to use triangle to design a model.
Triangles models
I try to combine three equilateral triangle to be a model and then glue those models together. Finally my design is created. And my the basic concept Order in chaos... simple to complex .
Final Model A`er my group figure out the final model , I give a suggesSon is to build two different style stairs on both side this is because they represent a connecSon with different people and different experiences. As my job is to use wood to build the final model. I scale the measure of the model and the size is ¾’ = 1 foot
Tools Exercise •  For this Sme, I learn some materials and tools. Such as LBrackets, Rectangular, Wood Screws, Deck Screws. I know electric saw that is to cut wood. I also learn how to use deck screw and drill press. I think to use these tools is a good experience and pracSce for me.
Photographer
•  As a group member, I am required to be a photographer. I need to take some photos when my group members are working. Now I am going to show some pictures.
During the final project, I realize Sme and budget is very important and necessary. We have about 4 weeks to build the design. Therefore we need to manage Sme and each member should do different work or do quickly. Another thing is budget, when we buy some materials, we have to choose different brand that’s price is cheaper.
• All in all, this final project was a good exercise and experience for me. I learned how to be effecSve. I think it was important for me to what I can did or not, and how to play on strength each person. • I also think teamwork is most important. Work together we can create a perfect design this is because we can collect different and innovaSonal ideas from each member. Member can inspire other person to get a new idea.
• In this semester, the most important thing for me is to I can learn different idea and concept from each classmate. I obtain a lot of amazing idea and perfect concept from them. Their designs also inspire me and provide some new idea to me. I really appreciate them. • I also thank for my professor, because he always help me to create each assignment step by step. He give me the opportunity to grow and mature to be a good designer.
