The purpose of our capsule is to capture the essence of personal space.The structure is indented to be suspended between two existing buildings within the streets of Barcelona. During our design development, we questioned how it is possible to affirm your personal space. Therefore we created a visual ‘bubble’ around the participant within a public area. By moving through the capsule, an individual’s presence is asserted as the suspended lights illuminate. By interacting with the ‘sewed like’ forms the sensors react to the sense of touch. Therefore lightens when touched and darkens disregarded.
