Mind the Gap…! Program
BA Major Design Semester
2021/22 WS FARO is a line of three products that just like a lighthouse help provide orientation and a sense of security. The first object is an exchangeable LED-sign that contains information about public transport and pandemic rules that lights up at night. The second sign shows a QR-Code and braille writing, informing users about monuments at the station by having them play a game. The final object is an interactive map with a touch screen and a feature for blind people that helps informing users about bus stops.

Mind the Gap…!
Ideas for a better quality of stay at Bolzano Station. Much is said about train stations. They are operating facilities and built ideology, a stop for public transport and cargo terminal, a showpiece of their city and a gateway to the world, an infrastructure hub and mobility-system component, a cathedral of the industrial age and shopping mall, a place of longing and Non-Place, a welcome home and a kiss goodbye. Based on our extensive field research and starting from a growing awareness of the ecological benefits of rail travel as well as the changing socio-cultural conditions – triggered by COVID-19 – the semester project focused entirely on the public user interface of Bolzano Station.
