PONDICHERRY 2050
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
We are living in a world of rapid digitalization and it is only increasing. Google searches for “smartphone addiction” is always on the rise. There are studies linking social media addiction to that of cigarettes and its ability to distract and consume us.
It is a great time for a Tech-diet, in order to combat its adverse effects on the physical and mental wellbeing.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
I intend to create experiences that help unplug and unwind, replace the FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) with JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out) and redefine one’s relationship with technology.
A retreat center that disconnects from devices, reconnects humans with each other, nature and the world. Make use of Pondicherry’s geographical location, ancient healing techniques, increased physical activities, camps, and workshops.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Coming up with the retreat center’s plan, mobility and functionality. My project will be represented through conceptual sheets, mixed media 2D and Sketchup views.
