TALKING SPACES RE/FRAME | DA Final Thesis | June 2014 | Manuela Mottareale

Domus Academy Master in Interior&Living Design class 2013/2014 FINAL THESIS PROJECT // TALKING SPACES: RE-FRAME

Observing people behaviours in relation to the existing spaces, students are asked to propose a design intervention capable to enhance a playful and ironic interaction between space and users. . The project should be the result of a complex but sophisticated design thinking: places or fragments of contexts should be transformed into significant spaces, rea- lized through simple but unexpected solutions, soft but effective as intelligent. . The proposal can be in form of a new structure, device, object, instrument, layer etc. to be added, overlapped, placed, integrated in the existing spaces, without affecting or damaging the structure. . The proposal has to reach a tangible and visible final outcome. . The proposal can apply an analogical or digital language; better if both of them. . The proposal can be movable or fixed in a place. . The proposal can be transformed, changed, reconfigured or dismantled over time or remain the same. . The proposal can interact with one or more users. . The proposal can work with different la- yers, modalities and forms of interaction.
