Carolina – Adaptive Seating & Shading Installation 

This project was developed for a specific neighbourhood in Rome, aiming to introduce more seating areas and shaded spaces for local residents. Situated near children's playgrounds and sports facilities, the installation provides a place for both children and their parents to pause, relax, and enjoy their surroundings.

The design utilizes leftover materials provided by the university, ensuring sustainability and efficient resource use. The seating elements are modular wooden blocks, each measuring 1200x1200x30 mm, which are connected in various configurations to create different seating arrangements. Their adjustable positioning allows for flexibility in function and use.

To enhance comfort, the seating areas are covered with lightweight roofing structures, providing much-needed shade for visitors. The simplicity of the design ensures that the project is both practical and feasible for real-world implementation.
