5 key facts about this project
The design titled "shut up the booth" presents an innovative solution to the challenges posed by social distancing and the need for safe public interactions. Set within an urban context, the concept focuses on creating a space that encourages individual enjoyment while allowing for a sense of community. The main idea is to redefine public areas through thoughtful architectural elements that prioritize both aesthetic and functional needs.
Design Concept and Structure
A circular shape characterizes the booth, designed to reflect sound and light in various ways. With a diameter of 2 meters, it accommodates one person, allowing individuals to enter and dance freely while maintaining necessary distance from others. This feature emphasizes personal engagement in a compact setting, addressing the current demand for safe, enjoyable outdoor experiences while encouraging social interaction.
Accessibility and User Interaction
The design lacks fixed entrances, which enables users to approach the booth from any direction. This flexibility promotes inclusivity, catering to different movements of people in urban settings. Pulleys are integrated into the design, facilitating easy access to lift protective shutters. This element invites users to interact with the booth in a hands-on manner, allowing each individual to personalize their experience.
Acoustic and Sensory Features
Sound amplification is a critical aspect of the design. The interaction between the strap wall and the media wall allows sound to flow through openings, creating an enriched auditory environment. This setup not only enhances the experience for the individual but also contributes to the ambiance of the surrounding area. It encourages engagement while providing a level of privacy for users.
Materials and Technical Elements
A variety of materials are used to support the functionality and aesthetics of the design. These include cover glass, LED film, PVB film, electrical components, wire rope, polycarbonate panels, LED strip lighting, and a ring chandelier system equipped with Bluetooth speakers. This selection helps to ensure the booth is both sturdy and capable of providing dynamic sound and visual effects.
The design ultimately combines distinctive shapes with strategically placed lighting. This combination creates an engaging environment that responds to sound and user movement in a unique way.
