Undiscovered Potential

How do we design places in which people flourish?

We all live with the intention or purpose to construct ourselves as human beings in this enormous and overwhelming place we call earth. Everything regarding us is placed inside something. My project aims to work on encouraging minds and bodies engendering connections and find ways to investigate their undiscovered potential.

What problem have you wanted to work with?

The project intends to consider and address different kind of issues: from socio-cultural challenges to the rapid technological development; moving society with people migrating in to cities, standardized places, homogenization and depression among people.

What has inspired you?

The world itself inspired me. Travelling gave me the chance to experience and develop a completely new attitude. I have always been interested in exposing myself to different cultures and realities. The constant interaction with a multiplicity of people, environments, situation and stimuli gave me the chance to create and work on a wide dose of prospective and beliefs.

How have you chosen to solve this task?

The intention behind the project was not to solve a specific issue, but to develop an awareness among people about what it is actually happening in our society and how as a human being we face all these changes; The project aims to create a space with a multiplicity and variety of opportunities, able to generate stimuli to ensure growth and constant development, in order to be able to reach a state of permanent enrichment and well-being. Our surrounding plays a fundamental role in our lives; My project is an investigation about how the space is affecting us, how physical structure influence human behaviour and how we build environments in which people flourish and connect within each other easily.

Why has this been important to you?

The project is a reflection about what I believe. Human is the human greatest joy. We are not made to be alone. We need to share and compare ourselves with other in order to be satisfied. There won’t be life if we would be alone. We need to create and work on environments, situations and tools that have the power to get people closer.
