2nd “Writing” Assignment

Assignment:

They treat a particular ailment as if works of design were akin to medicine or the
work of doctors. We can compare this to a more caring or comforting role. Think
about the last time you were sick (eg. a cold or flu); imagine a piece of furniture or a
smaller artifact – like a chair, a bed, a pillow, a lamp, or cup– that you might design
and that would make that particular experience more comfortable for you.
