Forbidden to sit! - Vietato sedersi!

EN - In Italy, many municipalities have introduced regulations that prohibit people from sitting and consuming not only alcohol, but also food, in streets. However, people continue to hang around and to meet "in piazza", transforming non-places in social spaces, and re-appropriating (or constructing) public spaces.

Communicating UX Through Video: Probing & Research

Yellow Chair Stories is a project by Anab Jain at the Royal College of Art. It is a “live service design intervention” conducted outside her apartment. She placed a yellow chair and a sign that read “My Wi-Fi network is open for neighbours and passersby. Free access from the yellow chair.” What resulted was an interesting and fun study on community, public spaces and network technology which became material for her to design future scenarios involving wi-fi.
