Modern society is shaped by many recent technological developments which have vastly shaped the way we live. While they create opportunities for improved lifestyles, they also create various problems by leaving many people behind. From issues surrounding migration, urbanization, energy consumption to spaces for children to play and the elderly to socialise our century is filled with socially related problems and issues that need our focus.
Many different social problems can be identified in our surrounding spaces. Conversely, depending on the space, we can help change the perception of these social issues and overcome them.
The theme of the competition is social tectonics. Your assignment is to study a social issue of your choice, local or global, and propose a tectonic to help overcome them. The term tectonic here includes not only how to put together materials or objects, but also how to put together people's activities and objects’ memories on the structure.
In order to give you better thinking of material itself, your tectonic should be made with maximum 3 materials.
We look forward to seeing your proposal for the unique tectonic of the 21st century.
