JUNE.2009

We had a communication workshop with Marloes ten Bhömer. The focus on the workshop was - no matter what our project was -to communicate well. I created a fictional character inspired by my grandma, and designed fictional objects that would help her to survive without having to overcome her extreme fears and behaviours. *kb

We worked with Ian Ferguson for the Concept Workshop. The brief was to design a recipe of actions that transform an objet without physically altering it - exploring human-object interaction. I took the word recipe literally and chose to investigate using a tin can. I used food from tin cans and prepared food using only a tin can to cut, mix and cook with. I made recipes to make an omelette, cookies and shaved ice & fruit with a tin can.*kb

APRIL.2009

For our second trip of the year, we travelled to Milan, Italy for the International Furniture Fair & Design Week. We were immersed in all things design, and all things Italian. I might even say that I saw too much good furniture and ate too much good pizza!

During the trip we did an on-site group project, creating a wall mural with the phrase NOTHING IS EVERYTHING. *kb

We went to the Casa Palacio in Madrid and spent the afternoon with the head chef Andrés Madrigal of the Alboroque restaurant. He showed us many interesting things, such as how if you cook 10 eggs for 10 different amounts of time, different cultures will prefer different eggs. We had a few taste and smell tests, and witnessed the chef at work. *kb
