Product Design ModuTe20 (Patra, Greece) σχεδιασμός προϊόντος product design ΕΛΛΑΔΑ GREECE GR Architects: “Plan ahead architects” Askouni Μimi & Papalexatos Panagiotis MODUTE20 Keeping in mind all the questions raised by the pandemia, but mostly the collective thinking and the need to balance the new situation, we designed a parametric model, a temporary structure using plexiglass as our main material. This construction is easily adaptable, friendly towards the environment and has an elegant design. It is a modular kit (Modular Tent 2020, ModuTe20) that adapts to the needs of each user and works as a reminder for keeping the necessary distances, even in an exterior space, like a beach. The adaptation capabilities range from a simple, single-person configuration for hygiene and protection from sun and COVID 19, to a two-person model for the same purposes. The use of plexiglass at ModuTe20 exceeds the regular and simple use of the material since it used a material with new aesthetic potentials and applications. Using 3D printing materials, the designing brings a fresh breeze of elegant and economical solution, opening the path for new forms of communication kai protection at the same time. πίσω στα περιεχόμενα back to the contents 107
