Nung-Hsin Hu
environmental, interactive, public intervention
After becoming a parent, I began navigating my neighborhood in Taiwan with a baby stroller and quickly noticed many of the older city sidewalks were not designed with accessibility in mind. This experience inspired me to reimagine urban infrastructure through a playful and functional lens.
I plan to create a series of colorful, wooden block-like ramps that bridge uneven sidewalks in my neighborhood, offering greater access for people with mobility needs. These toy-like interventions not only serve a practical function but also aim to spark public dialogue around safety, care, and inclusivity in the urban environment.
