Mindscapes
Workshop overview
Innovative applications of technologies such as Augmented Reality make it possible to generate a new ecosystem of experiences, reinventing certain aspects of design, breaking down the rules of concrete reality and the wall between online and offline practices towards a new design approach. The city is configured as a new fertile ground for experimentation; where they cause the onset of mental health disorders, augmented reality, integrated with other technologies, can change the perception of specific spaces, generating new relationships with the citizens. Students will be asked to analyse some aspects linked to the world of mental health during the workshop and turn them into concepts to be applied through the design of Instagram filters to be tested at the urban scale.
