Modulus: A System of 3D Printed Urban Furniture designed by MEAN
Introduction
The rapid growth of cities in the Gulf has resulted in overlooking the importance of activating the public space as an arena for interaction and gathering. Leaving remainders of unused, neglected spaces behind. In Dubai, a new vision is on the drawing boards for the future of the city; a vision that puts primary focus on the importance of activating public space and increasing the amount of landscaping in the areas between tall buildings and masterplans.
‘Modulus’ is a prototype of a modular urban furniture system that is highly flexible, sustainable, and economical. The system engages with public spaces in an informal, joyful, sculptural form. ‘Modulus’ is the result of juxtaposing design and technology to provide solutions to activate the public realm, in alignment with The Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan.
