How can we foster more social interaction at the C-Mine square? This was the central question we explored with the Product Design students of Luca School of Arts. Our approach involved a temporary intervention with the iconic red chairs, aiming to redefine their role in shaping social dynamics in the space.

In this masterclass we started with a design exercise in which theu investigate how students and other users of the C-mine square would like to use this space. We coached them to translate their ideas into modular, functional designs that can be easily built, broken down and moved. We work with sustainable materials (recycled plastic of Ecoo), connection techniques and design principles of TransFormMaker and Constructlab, which provides insight into circular and social design.
