Technology and Social Media are excessively absorbing much of today societies’ time causing negative mental effects if not properly regulated.

My project, The Melting Pot, intends to break the bond between young adults and technology, by creating a space that removes the user from the world of mass media, to persuade them to interact in a physical environment. Ultimately, to induce conversation via the medium of tangible and face to face activities, such as communal cooking and dining. Along with activities that induce conversation there are spaces designed for yoga and meditation allowing the user to disconnect from the world around them and create a stronger connection with themselves.
