By handing out senzitising booklets and conducted a few interviews, I discovered people would like to have more contact, but don\u2019t have a reason for this. Nowadays, people can connect anywhere and anytime, decreasing the need for a social neighborhood. This makes people feel less at home and decreases their sense of belonging.<\/p>\n<p>With a small-scale sharing system in my own neighborhood, I discovered people love to share books: they are passionate about sharing something they liked, and also enjoy reading messages of others. Contact with neighbors was indeed established in a natural and exciting way.<\/p>\n<p>A one-week test of the system in a student complex, showed they all love the initiative and believe it would decrease anonymity, but many students read too little or are too busy to participate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Bookcloud-scenario2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-401\" title=\"Bookcloud scenario2-1\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Bookcloud-scenario2-1-495x398.jpg\" width=\"495\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Bookcloud-scenario2-1-495x398.jpg 495w, https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Bookcloud-scenario2-1-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Bookcloud-scenario2-1.jpg 1163w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 85vw, 495px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Design Explorations<\/h3>\n<p>My initial design direction was about creating the feeling of sharing something, such as having a shared goal, experiencing a similar feeling together, doing an activity together and\/or experiencing team spirit.<\/p>\n<p>Next, I decided to focus on establishing personal relations within the neighborhood. I thought of a system in which people can share tools with neighbors: There would be a website for people to place tools and for people to request tools.<\/p>\n<p>To trigger a more personal conversation, I focused on just sharing books. This could be an online system, or a physical system in a hallway.\u00a0Instead of placing the books in the hallway, I let people write a note about a books, so others can come by their homes to borrow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/?attachment_id=400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-400\" title=\"BookCloud scenario1-1\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/BookCloud-scenario1-1-495x338.jpg\" width=\"495\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/BookCloud-scenario1-1-495x338.jpg 495w, https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/BookCloud-scenario1-1-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/BookCloud-scenario1-1.jpg 1016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 85vw, 495px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Final Design<\/h3>\n<p>The BookCloud is a sharing system with which neighbors can share their books with one another. The BookCloud hangs in the hallway of a flat. Neighbors can write a short personal message (in which they recommend a book of theirs) and hanging this in the BookCloud. They read each others\u2019 messages and are triggered to visit a neighbor and borrow a book. <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The contact moment is established naturally, and gives people the opportunity to get to know each other better.<\/p>\n<p>By having contact and sharing experiences, neighbors get connected. This increases the feeling of belonging to your neighborhood and makes people feel more at home.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/?attachment_id=399\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-399\" title=\"Bookcloud scenario-1\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Bookcloud-scenario-1-495x200.jpg\" width=\"495\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Bookcloud-scenario-1-495x200.jpg 495w, https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Bookcloud-scenario-1-300x121.jpg 300w, https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Bookcloud-scenario-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 85vw, 495px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/2012\/07\/27\/living-project-5\/bookcloud-product\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-398\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-398\" title=\"BookCloud product\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/BookCloud-product-e1346083069853.png\" width=\"977\" height=\"685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/BookCloud-product-e1346083069853.png 977w, https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/BookCloud-product-e1346083069853-300x210.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Marit Coehoorn<br \/>\nStrengthen community feeling by giving neighbors a trigger for personal contact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":396,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-living","category-all-projects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227"}],"version-history":[{"count":51,"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1434,"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227\/revisions\/1434"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
