Quilt
If a crisis brings people together, this smart speaker makes sure no one gets left out.
Pandemics, fires, earthquakes, floods — the world has seen a rising number of disasters impacting all of us. How can we offer our urban society a sense of agency to cope with such complex hardships? Designed to address social isolation in urban areas during the first 72 hours of a Disaster, Quilt allows positive social dynamics, connecting the willing and able with the less able. But instead of relaying the weather, turning up the TV volume, or spying on you, it builds a physical community in the midst of chaos.
