SHADOW FOLLOWER
It is a research project investigating the influence of the intensity of light to the change and perception of colour.
The idea of my design concept was to trick a viewer showing the same object in different light settings. The first setting shows the real colours, while the second one eliminate all the colours from it.

MARATHON FINISH LINE
Competition winning project 'Marathon finish line'
for Eindhoven city.
Due to a significant contribution to the research and concept development, I was granted to include this project in my personal portfolio. This project was lead by Jelle Mastenbroek and was done during my internship at Jelle Mastenbroek studio.
CITY PORTRAIT CANVAS
The City Portrait Canvas is a workshop tool created in collaboration with Thriving Cities Initiative (Circle Economy), C40, DEAL, KR Foundation and Biomimicry 3.8.
The City Portrait Canvas is designed to be used to foster big-picture thinking on how a particular city strategy may impact the world – both socially and ecologically, locally and globally – and is designed for strategic policy development and analysis in workshop settings.

CHALLENGE
Reframe a vision of a community center.
Research question:
An intensive life in a city and constant interaction between its citizens contributes to the fact that we are less likely want to know our neighbours as today we tend to see our homes as a safe place where we can escape from additional communications. This can be seeing as a dangerous tendency as then the reaction to changes that are happening in a neighbourhood (good or bad) is slower.
How can we define and create healthy relationships in a neighbourhood ?
DESIGN CONCEPT
To find a process, object or a space that can represent the idea of Genuine Dialogue in a neighbourhood was a focus of this project.
The notion Genuine Dialogue is taken as a metaphor to define a way to establish healthy relationships between people in a neighbourhood.
Genuine Dialogue can be described as a process that holds differences together. Genuine Dialogue contains not only of a verbal communication. What is more important - it is a process where its participants are becoming aware of the “others”, that they are different, and as a consequence they consider the “others” as the persons they are. Genuine dialogue requires an interhuman “social” sphere in which person meets person.
SOLUTION
Nowadays realities have changed and a classical community centres are not fully performing the functions assigned to them. So, what place could take the function of a classical community center?
Research brought the project into a local supermarket, as the most commonly visited site in our neighbourhoods. A local supermarket is the only place that neighbourhood residents are visiting at least once a week. Supermarket or area around it has a great potential to spread the news and involve residents into local events and activities as it is full of people living nearby!
Further investigation of a supermarket itself opened up an interesting 'symbiosis' or 'cooperation' between the supermarket, local social organisations, supermarket partners (food manufacturers/product providers) and food banks.
These finding as well as the original thesis of 'Genuine dialogue' leaded to an idea of Communal Cooking System (Community Kitchen), what would unite all the parties listed above and take the advantage of already existing relationships.
SUPERMARKET
Community Kitchen
Information
stand
Cash desk and
entrance
Place of the Community Kitchen in the supermarket was carefully chosen:
-
it has to be visible;
-
communicated well with the supermarket customers;
-
follow restrictions and rules like temperature, smell, logistics or technical communications.
Taking all these into account as well as most common floor plans of the supermarkets, was suggested a principal model of the supermarket interior, where the Community Kitchen is placed next to the window and between the bakery and cash desks.
Information stand plays an important role in the organisation of the Community Kitchen activities.
People can place an announcement of their event, questions, leave event booklets, get an information about coming events, reserve kitchen for their own event and etc.
Bellow you can see a simulation of the use of the Community kitchen information stand screen.
VALUE OF THE PROJECT
Neighbourhood / Neighbourhood residents: By seeing each other (passive participants) and cooking together (active participants) they can make stronger connections and help their neighbourhood thrive.
Local non-profit social organisations are already using ''food'' and ''cooking'' as a tool to connect people in neighbourhoods. They are in need in a permanent space and also a communication channel that can reach a wide audience. Community Kitchen can help them with that.
Supermarket also have programs aiming to support locals and events related to food and cooking. Having Community kitchen in a supermarket can help to get more clients and strengthen relationships in a neighbourhood where they are located.
Food manufacturers/related industries while promoting their products can support the kitchen with food and related products.
