Furnishing connections
- Connecting people through furniture
A collaboration with Oslo Science City
The starting point for Oslo Science City was to build an inspiring and innovative city. It is said that people are motivated to innovate when they feel as they can express themselves to a community that finds their voice useful. To create something like this I made a concept that would give me the framework to support this way of thinking.
It became an architecture and design studio called Furnishing Connections that involves people in shaping and changing their neighborhoods. We believe in local participation on the future of an area and its built environment by encouraging an open dialogue, harvesting local assets, building relationships and supporting communities to create a sustainable social infrastructure.
Our task became; strengthening the space for new interactions by facilitating outdoors meeting space, hosting encounters for both small and big moments. The aim is to make the green area accessible for both the students and the public, making somewhere to re:connect, re:calibrate and re:discover both people and ideas.
