Undergraduate Spatial Experience Design

While older adults struggle with physical and mental challenges, we collaborated with a local non-profit organization, ONEgeneration Senior Enrichment Center in Los Angeles, to provide a better experience for them in the post-pandemic era. Hosten facilitates a healthier lifestyle by providing a nutritional-enriched farmers' market, lively co-cooking events, and a fun dining & socializing experience for older adults. We aim to bring older adults and young generations together safely with food.
