the hug
Project Type
Temporary Pavilion
Date
May 2023
Location
Columbia University, New York City
The hug is an exploration of a temporary inflatable pavilion. How can a 12x12x12 space can be a hub for comfort, rest and engagement on the Columbia university campus. The hug was designed with the ergonomic of different bodies in mind. From a child to an adult, everyone at any hour of the day can sit or play at the hug with an instant feeling of ease. The users can charge their phone from PV charged batteries and play music on a provided speaker. The feedback from users were overwhelmingly positive with one caveat that they wished that the hug was installed earlier and permanently.
