Draier
Exploring the intuition response of the person to the hole, changing the vertical inlet to a 45-degree bevel, so that the view of the hole is less obvious to the passing person, and the thought of throwing garbage into the drain cover may be reduced.
探討關於人對洞的直覺反應，將原本垂直的進水口改成45度斜面，讓洞的視覺觀感對經過的人來說不那麼明顯，減少欲往水溝蓋丟垃圾的想法。

Analysis of the issue about the garbage to the river. Found that not all the regions in Taiwan have taken over the sewage sewer. Think about the drain cover which is the first line of defense before the garbage going into the river can have any different possibilities and appearance.
分析垃圾與河川之間的關係。發現台灣許多地區的地下管線並未經過汙水處理卻直接排向河川。重新思考身為進入下水道前防線的水溝蓋可以有什麼不同的可能性與呈現。
Development
Redesigned with a sloped inlet and used mocked models to test the appearance of the hole and displacement.
以有斜度的進水口重新設計，並使用草模測試觀看時洞的呈現與排水量狀況。

Through the test, the bevel struture also drains water in a good way.
The gap width would not be changed. Incline to the 45 degrees. The up and downs form would improve traction.
Cover the side to prevent stuff stocking.
間隔板材的隔間距離不變，板材傾斜45度使孔洞較不明顯。凹凸的設計讓時常濕滑的表面有緩衝的摩擦力。底部將最外道斜板與周框結合，讓底面為實體，減少難清理的溝槽。
Water mostly going down around the side.
水主要從四周進入，不影響排水效果
