Apparatus for social density
Project Overview
About
The United Nations has estimated that by 2050 two-thirds of the global population will live in urban areas. Living at high density can aggravate a number of stress factors, placing a renewed importance on fostering positive connections between both individuals and communities. Apparatus for social density is a collaborative design project that invites strangers to come together and share in the production and consumption of food in an improvised urban setting. By creating a sense of conviviality, conversations can emerge and connections be made – helping participants to learn to live together more agreeably.
