PARK-ING PROJECT

For this project, designed a Mobile Well-Being Intervention in a Parking Space in an Urban Space of my choice. Well-being is defined as the state of being healthy and happy. The aim of the Mobile Well-being project was to understand how we can respond to wider societal issues in the design of our spaces and objects.

The project had to be designed to be mobile in nature (i.e. relocatable to other places) and easily accessible. It had to be a public free space to be accessible to all.

The site is an actual parking place in an urban context. I was asked to choose a site and design a little piece of micro-architecture on it, creating a new place that makes people feel good.

Wellbeing is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as “the state of being comfortable, healthy, or happy”.

My first two ideas were to create a space with privacy in which people could write down on the walls whatever that was going on in their minds and creating an Instagram feed with compilations of every completed wall in different towns. discarded both designs because they were too simple and did not meet the brief.

The most likely to be the profile of visitor to be attracted by the site is people between 20-30 years old students or grads who are open minded and who like socializing.
