Living Room at Our City Oakland

Role: Interaction Designer, Co-Producer

This installation was designed to look like a common family living room had sprouted in the center of Frank Ogawa Plaza, directly in front of Oakland City Hall. The intent was to offer the city of Oakland, California a common room to share, where they could meet, play games, and even participate in chores if they wanted to (complete with chore wheel).

The picture frames on the wall were arranged like family photos and showed a montage of the visitors who came to spend time with us in the living room. Friends and new family alike could find themselves featured on the wall within moments of first visiting the living room, a reminder that we are all family.
