Emily's idea for sustenance was centered on water, specifically drinking water. Her design was placed in a fountain/pool located outside Vector Arena on the site, it is structure based on a well, more of an installation than a piece of architecture. It allows the drinker to get fresh water from the well that is moved along a horizontal tray. It utilizes existing rocks on site in order to appear to lightly hover over the water. She choose wood and plaster as materials. The idea is interesting and the form she has created is both unusual yet fitting for the circumstance, as well as her consideration for access to the water and where it will be placed on the site. The only thing I would critique would perhaps be the choice of wood as a material, as once it absorbs water it tends to warp it's shape, proving to be an inappropriate material for a well, for instance.
