Sensory Map
We were inspired by the 360 degree panoramic photography and agreed on doing a dodecagon to represent our experience of the garden. We used paper to do a prototype at first for trial and then cut on a thicker cardboard. We first mapped out our our route and experience and then made it a 3D dodecagon. We chose key elements that we found impressed of the garden and did some mimics to stick on the model. Our route and experience were then shown in a loop and can be rotated by the viewer. The viewer could choose the start and the end to experience it.
Round table discussion
In the morning session, we presented in our small group about our findings and sensory map. We got some feedbacks from the classmates.
We were asked to think about who was our target groups and be more specific.
Do not limited on the areas that we were interested in and on the one or two elements from the visit.
CD gave us advice on paying attention to water cycle in the garden as one possible direction.
Also, from other groups' presentation, I learned an interesting fact that some visitors said, if they really liked the plant, they could search online, and the information was probably enough. We decided to give it another visit to find out more facts.
External collaborator
Jordy found Alex Foo, a tour guide and called him to ask about tour design.
I found a collaborator outside of the college, who is my senior in my undergraduate study. He is an expert in plants and is currently doing nature education for children. I sent him the course brief and our ideas and asked him if he wanted to participant the project and help us with the plants. He was pleased to attend.
During the process, he offered us suggestions about how to search for a plant’s information and shared us with his thoughts about the garden.
