Using gravity to encourage social interaction and community engagement
Hodi is an interactive communal gathering space designed to provide haptic cues that encourage users to engage with one another. Taking advantage of gravity, Hodi subtlety draws users to the centre of the bench. Understanding that in the public sphere, we are not as aware of the people around us, but by using a dynamic bench surface, individuals and their movements are acknowledged, drawing us closer together, one seat at a time.
