EXPERIMENTS
What would you do in an outside public living room?
WHAT
This workshop simulates how people would sit in public spaces during various activities as different types of people. It is part of my current project where I aim to create a public living room.
WHY
The goal is to understand how different people behave in public spaces, in order to inform the design of parametric furniture and support the planning of third spaces. Mapping out the different parameters that need to be considered will enable informed design decisions.

WHERE WOULD YOU SIT?
WHAT
Using GPS-tracked chairs, I wanted to observe people's behavior to determine where they would sit and when they would use the street as a social space. It is part of my current project where I aim to create a public living room.

WHY
Sitting is an essential part of our daily activities, but when walking around on the street, you don't have many options. You can only sit in restaurants and designated areas. I wanted to see where people would choose to relax and enjoy the streets of Kentish Town if they could sit anywhere.

JOINING ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
WHAT
Joint exprimentation for Beta Electronics to explore various way to create a circuit.
Joint exprimentation for Beta Electronics to explore various way to create a circuit.
WHY
Often, electronics can look intimidating, especially for older people since the parts are very tiny and hard to see. In this document, I explore different ways to address these two problems by experimenting with different joints such as crimps, clips, and weaving.
