The “Durst!” project taught us that taking care of something is a main issue in a house with anonymous structures. We created Mimosa to take the experiment further.

In urban neighbourhoods anonymous structures are a main issue that goes along with an absence of interaction and a missing sense of community. The living interface Mimosa senses conversations, reacts directly to the interaction between people and visualizes it‘s development in a long-term view. Furthermore it creates an emotional need for care and support among the neighbors.
