Designing Connections: Narrative Layers in the City
As one of the fastest growing megacities in the world, Chongqing is under pressure; traditional Chinese architecture is being rapidly lost and replaced by high-rise buildings. When the urban landscape is under constant construction, social traditions can be forgotten, making it important to explore how design can bring people and places together. Through reconfigurable urban furniture and augmented reality, this project aims to inspire collaborative experiences that uncover the character of the city and return traditions of social cohesion and collective experience to public space.
