    2011

    This is my first semester Core Design grad project, entitled Canada Eats!, and interactive website to learn all about quintessential Canadian food. It was my goal here to help define Canada's food identity. I created a typographic map as my main navigation, which defined the top dishes from each province.

    The objective of this project was to build a cardboard space that evoked an emotion. Working in a team, we explored the emotion of fear, and were inspired by the Panopticon and ideas of surveillance.

    Our space is an asymmetrical pyramid featuring two viewports. Interacting with the space allowed viewers to observe the person in the structure, without the person being able to identify who is watching them.
