Sound Step
This was a semester long project which prompted students to design thinking through movement. To think about how the body moves and how systems/products that exist today make bodies move and behave in a certain way.
How does a body and an object/furniture/place/space interact? Our final design had to incorporate an element of movement driven by the body. I focused on interventions in public urban spaces and playfulness.
​
Sound Step is a proposal for a sidewalk-playground intervention that would disrupt people's daily routine by creating awareness of how the body moves through the act of walking.
​
Sidewalks were the chosen space due to its easy access to the public. By being a transportation path, people would be able to engage with it without having to set aside a time in their days to do so. The idea with this intervention was to disrupt the everyday life and the repetitive motions we do without consciousness (in this case focusing on our feet and our walking), which in turn makes us less agile and active.
