PLACES – Project Habitat

This assignment explores the intersection of imagination, habit, and spatial design by reflecting on my own domestic rituals and reinterpreting them visually through collage and sketch work. Over six everyday domestic activities: cooking, hygiene, rest, work/study, sleep, and eating. I develop two compositions per category (12 total) using analog and digital media. These works investigate space not only from a functional lens but through emotional and sensory associations.

“Project StatementPLACES challenged me to observe my domestic routines through a designer’s lens, moving between the familiar and the speculative, the external and the internal. Each collage serves as a visual meditation on how I inhabit and emotionally relate to everyday spaces, shifting the focus from conventional utility to sensory experience, memory, and mood. By alternating between "outside-in" and "inside-out" design thinking, I explored how spatial elements like light, materiality, and posture shape the way I cook, rest, work, and care for myself. This process helped me break out of habitual design assumptions and start imagining space more intimately, more personally. These visual studies not only represent my daily life but also act as springboards for designing a habitat that reflects who I am and how I truly live.”
