Street Eats was a three months design exploration into the tasty jungle of Taipei’s street markets, conducted with my partner Maya Ben-David. The project Street Eats explored opportunities within the market’s lifestyle with a focus on the human experience; while debating a broader question range of issues, regarding contemporary urban preservation and renewal. The project revolved around two main questions: How can the market facilitate and enhance social experiences to be more relevant for the current generation? In what way can design generate social added value and enrich the market’s experience? The project was a residency design commission conducted for the city of Taipei as part of its title as world design capital 2016, the project was presented in Taipei Design Week 2015
