Anna Török (14.09.1990. Szentes, Hungary) spendig my semester at WDKA on Fashion Design. Specialized in leather accessories (bags shoes) but have been experiencing with clothing design. I have been living in Budapest for 7 years, and now in Rotterdam.

Open Design

What is open design?

Open design is based on sharing knowledge, designing something together involving different experiences, therefore making a community. This allows free documentation, free editing and free distribution.

What do we make?

The basic theme is about to map the neighborhood in Delfshaven around the makerspace, called BouwKeet. The aim is to get in touch with this area's people, to create a tool to make them tell a story.

Research

The first thing to do is to make an emotional map, about the area - mark those places during my trip, what is nice, beautiful or exciting, unusual (green) bad, make me feel uncomfortable, or even sad (red).

Usually, the smells of the area was the most interesting for me, there were bad, and good and something which reminded me for some old memories. I think this was the most memorable and useful information about my trip around the neighborhood, so this might be a first step forward in the research. :) As I am a foreigner in this city, my most important basic needs in a new place is safety and feel myself at home, manage easily around the city. So I am about to find out what can help these feelings. I am curious about where and how people feel themselves in safe, what do they miss, do they feel themselves home, or do they miss their home? What is the definition of home for them?
