TOD CONCEPT
CONTEXT.
Soft mobilities By 2025, the use of soft mobilities will have increased following reduction of pollution policy (ex: Paris) and connecting spaces even better.
Static Urban furniture are not equally dispatched in public spaces and do not offer a huge flexibility.
18 Carrying Even if soft mobilities are a great traveling solution, they don’t allow people to carry goods easily and most of them need to borrow a car.

Space lost When unused, soft mobilites just lay down into parking area.
CONCEPT.
Interractive TOD aims to connect people, offering adaptable and playful system to rest, eat, dance, take a nap or just have a chat!
