Design As Experience

You Are Here

Design Studio I

When considering about the project “You Are Here”, I would like to select one of my beautiful adventures for mapping to share my fun of this time with you. Then I decided to focus on my own experience of learning cooking which is like one long journey with difficult exploration and finally reach the destination.

DATABASE = ??

A DRAFT OF THE MAZE

• If I am a cook …

• What kind of MENU can be provided to customers?

An interactive menu based on my cooking database.It also can be applied in any other’s database. (e.g. for restaurant,

dining room…)

Dish Types Ingredients Tastes

1st step 2nd step 3rd step

I want to let the users select the ingredients, combine the food & cooking ways & taste they prefer all by themselves.

At the end, the menu would show the dishes’ information to the user to make a decision.
