observation

in-depth interviews

During the observation phase, I immersed myself in the daily study environments of nomadic university students across popular third-spaces in the Klang Valley. I conducted non-intrusive observations at ZUS Seksyen 7 (Shah Alam), Perpustakaan Kuala Lumpur, and Starbucks Desa Pahlawan between 11–17 May 2026. These sessions revealed how students constantly adapt to spatial constraints, compete for power sockets, struggle with poor ergonomics, and frequently shift between private and public workspaces. These real-world insights directly informed the need for a portable, modular, and circular workspace system that supports transient student lifestyles. See also
