For my trash can I decided that my design junk was the Research I undertake with each
new project. With this I noted the importance of inspiration that comes from research and leads to ideas. To include this instantaneous moment in my trash can, I decided to show my research through the use of polaroids that capture that moment effectively. From there I designed a trash can that reintroduces research through the use of polaroids as that instantaneous moment of inspiration to help with ideas. For them to be a sort of treasure to the holder, the polaroids are categorized into 9 different boxes that relate to that box of treasures you keep underneath your bed. These boxes shall be themed so that their category is obvious just by looking at them, and kept on a sliding wooden system where the boxes can be organized, ranked and looked through at the users leisure.
The polaroids are categorized into eight different categories that all relate to Architectural design:
1. People
2. Places
3. Buildings
4. Detail
5. Material
6. Images
7. Drawings (hand and computer)
8. Written Word.
They can each be sorted into a filing system that allows the user to stick the polaroids on the outside surfaces of the boxes through the use of velcro strips. This allows the user to form ideas from their research in a creative and personal method.

Your design was clear and well thought through. It showed a good understanding of the reading and you clearly linked your design to the reading, in particular the "teacup" analougy. You used a wide variety of presentation methods to enhance your presentation, you presented to a high production level, and the methods used were varied and effective.
While you didn't use the 3D printer to enhance the presentation of your design, I felt in your case it was unnecessary to do so. Taking into account considerations like the cost of 3D printing, and the nature of your design, I believe it would not have been beneficial to 3D print, and that you made the right decision because trying to design an item specifically for the 3D printer could have limited you.
