The project presents an architectural concept that emphasizes user interaction and health safety in public spaces. Situated in an urban context, the design integrates practical elements with modern hygiene practices. A key feature is the handle that dispenses disinfectant spray upon activation, which meets the need for safety while encouraging physical engagement. Alongside this, a techno booth offers a social space for users wanting to experience dance and music amid current health restrictions.

INTERACTIVE HANDLE DESIGN

The interactive handle is a central point of the design, highlighting the significance of touch for users. This innovative feature serves the basic function of a handle while also providing a health-conscious solution by releasing disinfectant when engaged. This approach illustrates a consideration of how individuals naturally interact with their environment, using insights from behavioral studies on touch to inform its design.

TECHNO BOOTH

Alongside the handle, the techno booth captures the essence of social interaction. It is designed to create a lively atmosphere for music and dance, serving those who are missing communal experiences due to COVID-19. This element balances enjoyment with safety, allowing users to engage with one another while remaining mindful of public health guidelines.

MATERIALITY

The specific materials used in the design are not detailed in the provided text. However, the focus remains strongly on functionality and user experience. The project suggests that the choice of materials would reflect both the innovative features and the health safety considerations that are central to its concept.

Overall, the design creates a space where enjoyment and safety coexist. The integration of the interactive handle and the techno booth illustrates a thoughtful response to the needs of social interaction in today’s world. The careful balance between engaging user experience and health consciousness defines the essence of the project.
