Pause and Relax addresses the growing challenge of excessive screen time in urban transit by transforming selected Shanghai Metro carriages into mindful, “screen-free” spaces. These carriages invite commuters to read, rest, and reconnect with their surroundings through calm design and creative engagement. In possible collaboration with some cultural brands ,the project integrates art, reading, and interactive experiences to promote mindfulness, health, and sustainability. Through observational research and pilot testing, it aims to encourage digital balance, emotional well-being, and more humane commuting experiences in modern cities.
