My degree project \u201cBeisammensein\u201d, the German word for \u2018togetherness\u2019, questions our contemporary ways of living next to each other.
\nIt explores the questions of how spatial design can let us feel connected, when essentially, we are living in a \u2018connected, yet disconnected\u2019 world.
\nDrawing from reflections on shared presence, the project translates these explorations into the familiar spatial setting of the public interior of a caf\u00e9. Through a reimagined spatial arrangement centered around a community table, it explores how spatial design can foster meaningful interaction without obligation, creating a better \u201cBeisammensein\u201d, shaped through directed presence and a renewed sense of proximity. <\/p>\n
