INTRANSIT

My third attempt, the smoke isn’t strong enough to go inside the
bottle, so I took if the plastic tube and then cut a hole at the bottom
of the box and using hair blow to blow up the smoke underneath
the box.

My fourth attempt I use e-cigarette and blow it into the plastic
tube which I put it in the bottom of the bottle.

I used a storage jar with a silicone seal to keep the air
inside. The smoke still disappears after a while but the
form change to water instead. So the smell and the sir
still kept inside just the form that’s changed.

FILM MAKING PROCESS

I made these four jars representing all the common
smells found in King’s Cross Station and asked peo-
ple to smell them. In the first jar, a cigarette was lit
and left burning there to keep the smell and smoke
within. In the second jar was dust collected from my
vacuum cleaner at home. The third contained a mix
of drink, including alcohol, coffee, soft drink and
whipping cream. In the last jar were fruit, vegetable
and cheese. All were kept for about two weeks be-
fore I asked some of my friends to smell it and filmed
their reactions when they smelled each jar

INTERIM SHOW

The idea of increasing people awareness is combining
with bad air pollution by using this idea of making invisi-
ble thing visible. My idea is to play with sense of smell be-
cause it is something invisible, and to make them visible,
my experiment tries to capture the smell. I thought about
all of the common smells that could be sensed around
there. The first is cigarette because there is a huge waiting
area in front of the station where people are smoking since
it is an outdoor area. I did an observation around there
and started to see people eating their lunch next to a rub-
bish bin, coffee cup everywhere on the floor, and home-
less people drinking beer, ad pee could also be smelled.

UNIT 3

POLLUTION IN
TRANSITIONAL
SPACE AWARENESS

SITE CHOOSING
/ RESEARCH

I went to King’s Cross Station to survey the area and found a potential site, the out-
door waiting area in front the station. I noticed that people use this waiting area as a
smoking area. The majority of people who are waiting are actually inside where the
timetable screens are. Since King’s Cross Station is one of the most polluted areas in
London, the waiting area in King’s Cross and the outdoor area was my main focus be-
cause, despite being designed as a seating area, from what I see, people have turned
this place into a big smoking area.
After King’s Cross Station was chosen as the main area of study, three potential spots
there were explored. There, I observed everything related to all my developed con-
cepts, such as wind direction, sunlight, people flow during peak time and off-peak. In
the end, I chose only one spot where is the most polluted and has a ventilation block
that lets out all the bad air from underground.

I did an observation on people at sta-
tions, both tube and train, finding a
significant difference because time
on the train is longer. I observed Earl’s
Court Station and Victoria Station for
the underground and Wimbledon,
Clapham and King’s Cross Station.
When I was at the station there was a
guy standing in the middle giving out
free water. And it was a good thing
to see how people reacted to that in
order to understand how they would
react or interact with my installation.
Most people are walking diagnose
from where they are to where they
want to get to unless there is some-
thing on their way. Instinctively, peo-
ple would take the shortest way or the
easiest way to get to anyway.

DESIGN
PROCESS

My first idea was a copy of the existing
ventilation block shape in contract with
purer colour like white.
A small room inside the big structure
because of the air control. I want a room
within a room so the one inside is the
pure clean air. the idea is that the instal-
lation acts as an air purifier and the wall
structure are the filter and it’s like you
walking through this massive air purifier.
