A Study of Public Furniture Design for Temporary Individuals and Communities

In modern society, industrialization and informatization made it easier for individuals to realize their desires, and the paradox of “poverty in abundance” weakened individual-community solidarity and strengthened individualism, which led to polarization between individuals and communities. In this situation, individualism is causing problems such as deepening competition and weakening solidarity between communities to realize individual needs, causing loss of community. This study analyzes the phenomenon of individual and community separation by applying variable concepts of 'temporary individual' and 'temporary community' to overcome the limitations of existing individual and community concepts due to changing social trends. In addition, we would like to apply the motif “Tetrapod” as a medium that can solve this phenomenon. “Tetrapod” has a characteristic that is weak individually but has a strong effect when combined, and by applying it to public furniture design, we intend to seek the possibility of restoring community by inducing connection between individuals and communities. Through this, it presents a design solution to the existing individualistic-centered society, showing that individuals can effectively reflect the social characteristics of gathering as needed as members of a community. Ultimately, the goal of this study is to propose a public furniture design plan that can lead individuals back into the community by utilizing the characteristics of Tetrapods.
