UC 07 is a public seating project representing the seventh iteration in a visual research series exploring the visceral dynamics of city life. Developed during a student exchange program, the project serves as a physical translation of the feelings experienced by a foreign student navigating a new and unfamiliar urban landscape.
The design investigates the dialogue between diverse "languages" materials, forms, and cultural echoes—that define the modern city. It celebrates the beauty found in urban dissonance, highlighting how the constant mixing of contrasting elements creates a city's unique character. By integrating heavy, monolithic foundations with airy, geometric structures, UC 07 embodies the philosophy that diversity is not a disruption, but a vital component of a harmonious whole. It offers a space for reflection on the urban fabric—a place where being "different" is recognized as an essential fragment of the entire collective experience.
