Social Spots is a project aiming to replace social distance with physical distance following the slogan

“Social Caring whilst Physical Distancing” – because social interaction and spatial distance are not contradictory. 

Social Spots is a tool designed to re-introduce social interaction to public open spaces in times of post-Corona-lockdown.

Through our Social Spots project we want to demonstrate that safe social interaction can take place in public space and that physical distance can be a connecting rather than a separating element. Social Spots invite interaction between friends, as well as strangers.

Its simple design ensures that a safety distance of 2 meters between everybody participating can be easily observed.  The traingular pattern provides distance between all users and at the same time symbolises a linking network.
