FROM THE WALLS

By means of an art installation, the user is presented with a sense of isolation where furniture functions as a counterweight through curiosity and beauty.

FROM THE WALLS, requires the interaction of more than one user to experience the piece, realizing that the wall goes beyond a puzzle where the assembly instructions are the interaction and human collaboration.

Encounter and recognition, a meeting that helps generate bonds and confidence to break the social barriers that prevent us from having a natural coexistence because of fear.

SIR DUCHENNE

Sir Duchenne is a multidisciplinary project aimed to create a productive system where inclusion and integration were the main objective.

The project consisted in the design of a work station where children suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy or anyone could design their own toy without any burden.

“Castle” Work Station: Plywood 6 mm Pine Wood

Toys: Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) · Fabric

Consultant: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Association of Jalisco

SIR DUCHENNE

Every toy created served two purposes, in one hand it was simply a very personal toy charged with strong attachment feelings, but on the other hand it became part of a holistic therapy contributing to enhance life quality and strengthen the mind.

Through design Sir Duchenne aims for inclusion while offering an interactive experience where psychopedagogical therapy, creation and imagination are combined.

SIR DUCHENNE Social project developed by Ayrton Miranda, Dalila Salazar and Dayan Blanco in collaboration with the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Association of Jalisco
