Boun – Urbanscape Symbiosis
CHALLENGE
Urbanscape: Symbiosis is a step forward that seeks to bind the concept of urban identity and the furniture that speak for the city. It aims at creating elements that connect the dots to reveal the identity of a city.
The challenge here is creating a family of furniture for the desired city with common features in concept / form / color / design that needs to be derived from the city into consideration. The location of these furnitures also matter by analyzing key spots where not only these could look meaningful but be meaningful as well.
The goal of this competition is to give birth to furniture concepts that sprout from the city’s identity instead of industrial convenience. This would be possible in the following three steps: 1. Choose a town/city
2. Create a concept family of furniture from the category
3. Photograph your city spaces and place them to establish a link between them.
