Class Input:

-"one water glass" idea - the concept that when people go to the sink they often grab a glass of water, drink half of it, and dump the rest out. What if this excess could easily be poured into the "sink herb garden" instead? 

-Put further consideration into the water holding at the top (perhaps incorporating the element of rain), drainage at the base, and adding lighting. 

-Materiality: consider using plastic or something semi-transparent, sheet metal (stainless steel), or the possibility of ceramics. (putting a logo on the design?)

-stainless steel fabricators
MAC industries and Elliott's Speciality Sheet Metal Inc.
bending sheet metal, wielding (consider spot wielding)
Consider fabric hinges between metal segments
