Direction

i have come to a turning point a bit later than others but I am confident that it is the right place to begin moving foreward from. i have consulted Sara Houstin who has given me many good pointers and helpped me develop my ideas a bit more. After speaking with her i was able to gether myslef and speak with wonhee and donald a bit more and finally i am in a good spot.


I have decided to explore the functionality of the Kitchen table and look at the way it brings people together. The kitchen is a social place and the more conducive it is to socializing the more people will interact. I have begun dissecting the kitchen table and looking at the things it used for. From food preparation to homework to household projects.

Lost and found

I have been running around with my head chopped off for a while but i feel like this is not always a bad thing...maybe. i have been exploring many directions trying to strengthen the social aspects of preparing and consuming food.

I have been exploring many routes through designs and concepts, really focusing on bringing people together.


This is a piece by Tzuwei Tai exploring the concept of slow food. This piece presents food as a sort of buffet and forces people to interact through the infinite circle. there is no beginning and no end thus people are forced to interact randomly with the object, their food and the people around them.I think this idea of forced interaction is really a direction that i want to go in. I want to attract people to a certain location and then create an environment more conducive to social engagement.
