Project details

Project Yoga Tunnel is a result of summer design workshop at Domaine de Boisbuchet, Centre international de recherche et d'éducation Culturelle et

Agricole, France.

The initial pat of the design process, we were 16 participants from all over the world stat with experiments with impersonal design and radical formal reduction, something which is deeply rooted in the tradition of high modernism and mainly applied to various synergetic total-design projects.

During the design thinking process, our aim is a re-interpretation or invention of an analog, hands-on technology for installation production that results in the realizatdion of a parasitic attachment to an existing building or natural structure at Domaine de Boisbuchet.

Design concept

During this project, I have developed an installation of a tunnel, which has a defined path inside, same as steps of "Sun Salutations."

While going through this tunnel path, a user will complete a Sun Salutations, at the same time it will create a playful experience for the user. Sun salutations is a yoga exercise which offers a good way to stretch and strength then the muscles, joints, ligament, as well as the skeletal system. The movements can also help improve the flexibility of the spine and heat, it's an excellent cardiovascular workout.
