INTRODUCTION
Mindfulness is a catalogue of improved human states of minds, it is about stress reduction through recreation activities, mindfulness is about reclaiming your peace and livity to achieve enhanced state of consciousness where you not only feel good but you realise that you are in control and everything can be achieved through balancing your own system.
BRIEF
My project is about repurposing Tower 42 by introducing spaces for recreation, meditation and movement to establish a critique for the mainstream toxic overworking culture and help people find a new balanced routine for healthier working. The stresses imposed on the office workers are unlikely to vanish upon the re-opening of offices and return to in-person work post-pandemic. To counteract their impact, my project aims to provide an ensemble of chambers for recreation and mindful activities in order to help employees establish wellness routines and a healthier working lifestyle. The Mindful Office has spaces filled with stimuli which impact different parts of the human brain - some spaces are peaceful and slow and others are disigned for dynamic kinetic movement. Both visitors and workers are exposed to a different world with lavish views of the city.
The intervention of Tower 42 creates a new hybrid system between old and new.
