Human 5 senses

POP-‐UP HUMAN SENSES POSSIBILITY FUTURISTIC CONTRIBUTION

Dancing SensaPon A pop-‐up interacLve art pavilion designed to delight and thrill parLcipants, and to raise awareness of a new inclusive horizon for Sodspace Architecture. Coupled with the work of the civil design collecLve Umbrellium.

Issues & Problems Human senses are interested in different experiences which affect expression and reacLon of the spaces’ form and size. Combining spaces and arLficial intelligence presents possibiliLes to achieve new values for the environment and life, as well as space movement or aderimage interacLon that allows people to that the feel the space or building is living.

PotenPal Design InnovaPon The use of technology and reﬂecLon establishes the architectural installaLon. Akin to an actor, combined the NBCW museum, together forming a 5 senses message, being; touch, movement, auditory, smell

DIGITAL NARRATIVES STAGE DESIGN MEMBRANOUS VIDEO MAPPING

To design an art installaPon that challenges new possibiliPes of communicaPon between human senses and space. The design schemes objecLve aims to be an interacLve installaLon. To challenge the possibility of the space performing. To engage and ahract human arLsLc senses b y i n c o r p o r a L n g a n d c o m b i n i n g technology to promote the scheme.

Design Project Aims:

An evenkul, sensory and interacLve art Sodspace architectural installaLon for the civil design acLvist group Umbrellium.

Approaching An evenkul and interacLve pop-‐up art installaLon that will inform and ahract users to parLcipate in an entertaining, interesLng, communicaLve and engaging experience.

ParPcipaPng The entrance path provides diﬀerent forms of pathways. The ﬁrst impression of the installaLon being to subvert the users thoughts and encourage engagement with the space.

Why InteracPon The installaLon provides an environment which is supported by the exisLng building on diﬀerent levels. As a result the atmosphere changes and adjusts through the varying users. CreaLng a golden t r i a n g l e o f c o n L n u o u s , c h a n g i n g relaLonship between each. Furthermore, internally and externally the installaLon f o r m s d i ﬀ e r e n t e x p r e s s i o n s t h a t symbolically represent the possibiliLes of this relaLonship.

Traversing To create a transiLonal space by connecLng two components, thus dividing the areas. Including diﬀerent levels to produce a journey narraLve of varying hierarchies through the installaLon.

Performing The ﬁnal part of the journey is related to the dialogue between the building and the installaLon. Using technology to combine visual elements connecLng the site, supporLng and allowing the architecture to perform.

Policies The So[ Space Sodspace deploys innovaLve spaLal systems including RFID, Wi-‐Fi, wearable compuLng and custom-‐designed digital sodware incorporaLng sound, heat, light and electromagneLc ﬁelds (Haque, 2007). These not only rely on the individual interacLon, but are enriched by narraLves of contribuLng people, creaLng new metaphors of use (Haque, 2007). Architectural design that emphasizes “sodspace” over “hardspace” is like “sodware” design rather than “hardware design” in computer terminology, where “hardware” refers to the physical machine and “sodware” refers to the programs that animate the machine (Haque, 2004). Sodspace encourages people to become p e r f o r m e r s w i t h i n t h e i r o w n environments, then hardspace provides a framework to animate these interacLons. Designers assume that such systems in architecture can deal with the pracLcal a n d f u n c L o n a l r e q u i r e m e n t s o f constructed spaces then the design comes from the needs of those who use and implement it.

Commodity

Lengths of transparent ﬁlm and sLcky tape wrap around the concrete columns of Paris gallery Palais de Tokyo. To form a network of hollows and tunnels in the installaLon. Visitors to the exhibiLon can climb into the series of translucent hollows for an out of body experience. Source (dezeen, 2014)

Firmness The tape installaLon is made of tendons of transparent mulL-‐layered adhesive tape stretched between columns of the former stock exchange building. The conLnuous wrapping of tendons results in a complex, amorphous surface. The process is reminiscent of growing organic forms. It took twelve people many days to wrap-‐up the concrete pillars in the great entrancw hall into a maze of accessible translucent passageways. It coils ﬁdy meters through the gallery space and reaches a height of six meters.

Form & FuncLon Human senses come from diﬀerent reacLons to feelings, and that feelings are inﬂuenced by experiences. In physical terms, the centre of human form being the heart or mind. Human’s use their mind to receive message through their senses, then translated into feelings. Combining senses as one central processor, this is the primary starLng point.

Form The centre of intrinsic human senses could be the heart, which receives all biological reacLons. Thus the starLng point, and symbolically combing all of the senses to a central point. One element of the installaLon concept being; contrasLng atmosphere and shapes. The site being an elongated rectangular space. The opposite being a curve or circle. This is the key element that will be encoded into the design.

Fig. 44 The EvoluLon of Form Because the site is a square and follow the one of condiLon of concept, it has to be contrast, so the opposite of ﬂat is curve and for square is circle. As the picture shows the contrast of square then take out the circle to be the main element of the form. Source (Lin, 2015) Created by author.

Fig. 45 The Centre of Feeling At the ﬁrst step of the form, even there are diﬀerent senses in humans’ feeling, but the iniLal experiences are all coming into the heart, so it can say the centre of the senses is the heart and it combines all feelings together. Source (Lin, 2015) Created by author.

Furthermore, the circle has been separated into two semicircles, and offset against each other. CreaLng different levels to experience throughout the journey. The first part of the installaLon will elevate from ground level and uLlise the exisLng space, this connecLng both. The users journey will then follow a pathway down the ground level. Using different levels will facilitate an interesLng narraLve and forming a physical connecLon between architectural styles.

FuncPon The funcLon being the creaLon of an interacLve installaLon, that can challenge human percepLon and senses whilst creaLng a dialogue between the space as architecture, and the performance architecture.

Fig. 46 Set into the Site The circle form of the key element sets into the elongated rectangle site, so the circle has been cut into half and stagger both parts to be lengthwise. As the picture shows the steps of the circle form implement into the site and both parts set next to each other. Source (Lin, 2015) Created by author.

Fig. 47 The Different Levels The form of the installaLon is two part of it and if the visitor flow is at the same level, it will not be interesLng. So that raising up the first part from the ground, then connect two areas by transiLonal space and back to the down level. The journey climbs up to the top and go down, the flow decrease the level from the up level as well as it goes down is easier than go up, so that is the reason that raise the first part of the installaLon.

Materials & Technology Structure The main structural materials of the installaLon would be steel foundaLons and columns. These would prove stable . The ribbed structure is constructed from carbon ﬁber, being both light and strong, is used in the construcLon of the supporLng structure from the steel frame.

Materials The materials are carbon fiber, memory foam, stretch fabric and shrink mirror. •  Carbon Fibre: Used in the structural elements. •  Memory Foam: An interior material used in the construcLon of the walls. Which can interact with users touch. It will record the shape, then revert itself to its previous flat form. A metaphor to human breathing. •  Stretch Fabric: Used in part of exterior, double layers to give wall thickness. •  Shrink Mirror: It is a kind of veneer and using heat to curve and sLck onto objects. A mirror which uLlises the exterior surface to reflect the architecture as dialogue between the

Fig. 49 The Memory Foam The memory foam provides the interacLve stage that keep the limited memory into it and also it will use in the material of wall in the interior. When it is reverLng, the feeling will like the wall is breathing, same as the installaLon. Source (mahressexpert, 2014)

Fig. 51 The Shrink Mirror This material is like a veneer, when it sLcks on the objects, it needs the heat to let the material ﬁt in the shape even it is curve shape. This shrink mirror does not have outdoor problem such as rain, so it will be use in the exterior then it can reﬂect the environment, the building and the space as dialoguing between the installaLon and visitors.

Technology The technology are OLED and Conveyor Belt. •  The OLED: There is a new technology called OLED which research and development by Philips Lumiblade. The OLED is not only as a glass but also it is a ﬂat organic light. Its’ thickness is 1.8mm and it won’t gepng too warm just 30°C maximum. When the OLED switch oﬀ, it looks like a transparent glass, the light can go through it as a window, but when switch on it, it becomes a light

The belt will go backward by 3cm/ps which let visitors feel they need to spend more energy to walk as well as it creates the illusion at this point.

Experience & PercepLon The whole journey of the exhibiLon provides diﬀerent levels and interacLvity lepng visitors receive a message from the architecture and also they can interact w i t h t h e i n s t a l l a L o n t h r o u g h experimentaLon equipments.

For example: •  The elevated part of installaLon creates d i ff e r e n t v i e w s a n d c o m b i n e s technology to show the impression of the site as well as the visitor flow has several layers to let visitors have some interacLon with it. •  The first impact is combining sound, smell and projecLon to represent the working situaLon on each different floor. Providing the working sound and smell. Visitors can watch through the window and there will be a projecLon inside to show the worker inside. •  The touch wall will combine the pitched pathway and memory foam wall. Lepng the visitor naturally walk beside the wall and touch the memory foam. The space represents breathing when it reverts to its original form. The exterior is reflecLve material that can change the curve to dialogue with the surrounding building on the site. •  New technology, such as interacLve wall, use OLED to create a large panel to track movement as a screen that can let visitors see through it when it doesn’t track any movement as well as the movement has been tracked it will light on then as a tracking light wall. •  The final pathway is using conveyor belt to be the floor and it goes backward 3cm/ps to let visitors feel the space of counteracLon.

Experimental 1. The PerspecPve Test TesLng the scene of dialogue between the installaLon and the exiLng building. Using lines to connect from the small scale aperture to the exiLng structure. DemonstraLng the perspecLve scene. Furthermore, it is connecLng two objects that communicate between each other.

Experimental 2. The Curve of Memory Form The test establishes the curve of memory foam when pressure is applied to one side, will the other side curve or not. The result, demonstraLng that memory foam will curve when you press on it, even when there are two sides of the structure, it sLll will curve by applying pressure in the middle. Recovery to original form is slow, which represents breathing within the space.

Experimental 3. The Conveyor Belt Test Experimental test 3, is a conveyor belt test. The conveyor belt is located in shopping centre which has several conveyor belt escalators. The test is try and walk the wrong way on the belt. Then apply the findings to the primary experience of the conveyor belt floor idea. The belt speed of in the tested situaLon is 30cm/per second. This speed would prove too fast if installed into the installaLon. It has to be both slow and smooth to ensure safety. Proposed speed sepng of the concept being 3cm/per second. RelaLvely slow but, the point is providing an invisible feeling and experience upon the conveyor belt floor.

Fig. 60 -‐ 61 The Conveyor Belt The images show the test of going backward on the conveyor belt. The speed for this is 30cm/per second which is really fast if it uses in the ﬂoor to represent the experience, so the speed of the concept is 3cm/per second which provides the smooth feeling of go backward when visitors are leaving the installaLon at the ﬁnal part.

SpaLal ComposiLon The EvoluPon of SpaPal ComposiPon The ﬁrst two parts have the same the principle of space, when divided into human senses, such as; Taste, Smell, Touch, Sound and Visual. To let users follow a pathway and engage with these areas. The starLng point of the journey is the main gate, located at the led side of the ﬂoor plan. ULlising exisLng walls to create the route, and provide several interacLve points. Each part interacts with users and creates a dialogue with the space. Five areas being:

1. Visual 2. Sound 3. Touch 4. Smell 5. Movement Exit (Original Entrance)

> > >

The potenLal art installaLon does not have a strong impression that interacts with the space, and it is similar to common exhibiLon routes and pathways. The primary point being the ﬁrst SpaLal ComposiLon, it has to be interesLng and present users with a strong ﬁrst impression when they approach the installaLon.

As the result of the case studies and the ideaLon, the proposed concept installaLon is an accumulaLon of the research. Furthermore, it not only provides different levels of user journey but also assembles all of the interacLve points, a symbolic narraLve of the core human senses. Users are required to ascend into the installaLon by the ramp which is at the led hand side of the elevaLon. The shape of installaLon is of organic form. When they get into the centre, there are several interacLve points inside. In addiLon, the user will need to go downwards, experiencing different sensory experiences within the installaLon journey. Following on from the InspiraLon and the concept ideaLon of the central soluLon. Further conLnued development and evoluLon, all of which has resulted in the final outcome.

The idea of a transiLonal space is the staircase with the touch sense, allowing visitors through this area to push aside the fabric then approach the next stop. There is a interacLve wall at the forth point, it combines the OLED panel and the sensors, which track movements then interact with visitors. When the panel is switched on, it becomes a flat light, and a transparent glass when switched off.

3D Model of FaciliLes Delivered the Concept As this stage, the ideaLon and concept are inserted into the study model, checking the proporLon of scale. Furthermore, there is the opportunity to understand the relaLonship between the exisLng architecture and the installaLon. These images show the scene of exhibiLon views as well as the levels, providing a real engagement with the installaLon. There is a spiral staircase to send the visitors up to the ﬁrst interacLve point, and follow the pathway to each part of the interacLve experience. The exterior has three key elements;e reﬂecLon. shrink mirror, stretch fabric and solar panel. The laher which support some of electricity usage, whilst lepng natural sunlight go through to the inside of the space.

3D Model of FaciliLes Into The Site The Images show the study model has been set within the site. It can help assist with the design and effecLvely solve problems. Understanding the scale is paramount. The installaLon has different levels which shows the natural line of the roof ramp, from the led side of the elevaLon. The second floor from the main entrance pathway then the roof has invisible visual lines connecLng the installaLon and following the levels down to the ground floor. This configuraLon not only provides an interesLng route, but can also have direct interacLons with the architecture of the site.

T h e r e a r e s e v e r a l t e c h n o l o g i c a l installaLons though the journey. The materials and lighLng can also enhance and create an interacLve atmosphere, visual illusion of expression. Following the journey, the faciliLes are:

STAIRS The Stairs direct the users to the upper level of the installaLon.

Projector The projector projects the visual history of the producLon of the coffin fipngs on upon the surface of the glass, when exiLng the second floor.

Speaker & Smell Which when combined with the projecLon provide the smell and sound of NBCW.

Solar Panel This energy equipment which provides an independent source of power, for the part of lighLng. Self sustainability also explains the meaning of a Green Art InstallaLon.

LED The primary source of lighLng within the installaLon. Installed beside the aisle, and under the stairs, together illuminate the installaLon at night Lme.

Conveyor Belt This is the key to the ﬁnal part of the journey, the moving ﬂoor provides an interesLng, and unusual feeling.

4D Storybaord The User Journey The study model delivered conceptual ideas, which can easily demonstrate how the diﬀerent users get into the space and what route their journey will take.

When they arrive the level, the first interacLve point will face them, ader that there is a curved pathway to the second interacLve point. The memory foam interior wall that provides the semioLc breathing space. The third interacLve point is at the end of the wall, beside the illusion staircase. Going through the stairs sending the user down in level to the forth interacLve point. Thereader the end of the journey within the installaLon, the fidh interacLve point allows the user to follow the pathway beneath the installaLon. Ader that, the exit of the exhibiLon within the recepLon area which is the staff route, and also the entrance of the museum.

4D Storybaord Secondary Market The secondary market is tourists visiLng Birmingham, perhaps following a guide book to Newman Brothers Coﬃn Works Museum. At this point, it is possible that the tourists have no idea there is an event inside, and potenLally discovering the event in diﬀerent way. The journey is similar to the primary market. Ahending the event, but also their original purpose of visiLng NBCW museum. So as this point, they will also experience the NBCW tour too. The entrance is from the gate and then go up level, all as per the primary market route, ader the installaLon, they will experience the NBCW experience. Then conLnue the exhibiLon journey through the exiLng building and exit via the recepLon area.

The Top Level of The Route SECONDARY MARKET EXHIBITION ENTRANCE EXHIBITION EXIT

There are two diﬀerent levels of the route in the site, the top route is the engage journey which is inside the installaLon and it has up and down pathway to let the journey to be more interesLng.

The Down Level of The Route The down route shows the journey of outside the installaLon and also there is a pathway that go through below the staircase, it provides diﬀerent angles and views between the exiLng building and the installaLon.

The SoluPon of Disable Wheelchair It is possible that the visitor is a wheelchair user. Due to the historic nature of the site, wheelchair users are not included as part of target market, but sLll welcome. To accommodate, the route will change and make it more effecLve and accessible. On the other hand, they want to visit the factory for a ground floor only tour and thus unable to get into the installaLon. However some interacLve points are accessible. The entrance is sLll the main gate, where the wheelchair can access the site, they will need to turn right and follow the ramp between the installaLon and the exiLng building, then pass the pathway below the staircase. Ader that, they will find the interacLve exterior wall of this aisle, and conLnue to the end of the installaLon to see what is going on inside. The wheelchair has to follow this route back when leaving the museum.

Scheme of Design Design Mission Statement of

Dancing SensaPon

Inspired by Sodspace Architecture, a theory conceived by Usman Haque in 2002, this temporary installaLon is designed to have intersecLng spaLal pathways that lead to a range of digitally evenkul and interacLve faciliLes designed to create memorable and thought provoking architectural experiences for the user visiLng the Newman Brothers’ Coﬃn Works in Birmingham.

Beneﬁt by Design The use of Sodspace technology video mapping, materials and reﬂecLon will establish an architectural installaLon as a transmiher for the research, projects and values associated with the civil design acLvist group Umbrellium.

Design Outcomes A temporary installaLon to delight and inform arts users about the work of Umbrellium.

ENGAGING CHOREOGRAPHED REFLECTION TRANSMITTER

Scheme of Design Commodity

The route of the installaLon from upper to lower levels provides a different flow in the site. Users will have to go through the main gate then sent to the top by stairs. The starLng point, following the curve pathways to go through the installaLon. Ader that, users can walk through, around, and below the transiLonal staircase then leave the exhibiLon. The funcLon is to provide possibiliLes for Sodspace interacLon with users and exchange the experiences by the installaLon and exiLng architecture. The symbol of form is the reflected centre of human senses, and a working dialogue with the building and environment of the Newman Brothers’ Coffin Works.

Firmness The structure as two organic forms, supported by steel foundaLons and lightweight carbon fibre structure. The transiLonal staircase is made form steel, and can support the structure between two different levels, as well as it is using the shrink mirror as the exterior material reflecLng the scene of the site.

Delight This installaLon is like a flowing quicksilver, it not only has curved surfaces and shapes but also it reflects all of the scenes surround it. ReflecLon can represent views, scenes, lights, and also the mind. When people look at the mirror they will check their likeness or think about themselves and their own feelings. It is not just interacLng and exchanging the atmosphere by the Dancing SensaLons, it is also a key relaLonship between the s p a c e a n d t h e h u m a n b e i n g , communicaLng and forming a dialogue each other.

Design Principles

Form

Volume

Balance

The installaLon is an organic shape which evolved from a circular form, a symbolic centre of mind. Elevated parts enhance and create diﬀerent levels of the route.

This installaLon is divided into Part A , the raise level and Part B the second part of the installaLon which is based upon the ground ﬂoor. ConnecLng the two levels is a linking ramp of the exiLng building.

In this case, the balance is part of the dialogue which bonds the site and installaLon. As the image shows the flat exterior of the building and the curved reflecLve exterior of the installaLon. The contrast between the two is the communicaLon and the flat scene will be influenced by the curve reflecLon.

ProporPon The scale of the installaLon allows the space to become i n t e r e s L n g , a n d e v e n k u l providing the WOW during the event.

Movement Following the route through the levels, the ﬂow akin to a wave which oscillates upwards and downwards then across beneath it. Rhythm

The wave pathways inside the installaLon are curved, the reﬂecLon outside will conLnue its tempo of it.

Focal Point Users walk through the gate, their ﬁrst impression is a visually impressive reﬂecLve curved surface.

Hierarchy S i mi l ar to th e mo vemen t, diﬀerent levels of the route provide diﬀerent scenes and views.

The elevaLon shows different Lmes of scenes in the site. The exterior reflecLon of the installaLon will change the expressions by the Lme, as well as the dialogue between the exiLng building and it will also influence by the Lme.

Scheme of Design The StarPng Point of the outside route During the event, the users will have to go through the main gate. The space is effecLvely a Time Tunnel. It is historical, industrial architecture leading into a visually, stunning contemporary art installaLon. The image shows users entering the space, they have no idea what they will approaching. The first face of the installaLon is the raised level, which means users just can see the structure and a lihle reflecLon at this moment.

The First Impact Ader the Time Tunnel, users can raise their heads and take a look the ﬁrst face of the installaLon. The reﬂecLon at this point allows people see the wooden underside, exterior of the building which is over their heads. Users can also walk through the structure beneath the installaLon and feel free to engage with each surface of it. Pathways lead users easily to approach the stairs from the gate, into the installaLon.

The View as the Curve At this view, the relaLonship between the exiLng building and the installaLon contrast. Users are able stand and view the whole corner, as the ﬂoaLng silver circle connects with the angular corner.

The Pathways Below the InstallaPon As the image shows there is a ramp which users use to exit the installaLon. It provides the exit route and also allows disabled wheelchair users access through. There are two straight pathways, one being the ramp, and the other one is at the diagonal point.

Scheme of Design The Route Below the TransiPonal Staircase The different levels of configuraLon provide an interesLng route around the installaLon, not just internal, but externally allowing users to engage and walk around it. When users walk through this point, they can see the installaLon itself, and also the different reflecLve angles of the installaLon.

The Dialogue Pathways Following the route, users will be lead to this pathway, ader the installaLon journey. The reflecLve exterior surface of the installaLon, reflects the exisLng building and the visitors’ movement. The reflecLon change, dependent upon the viewed angle. Akin to a destroyed mirror, providing different widths and depths encouraging interacLon with the user, architecture and the environment.

The Exit Area of the InstallaPon At the end of the journey, there is the oblique angle exit that directs the users route.The space also facilitates the user Lme to reﬂect and consider the journey before looking around the rest of NBCW range of historic buildings.

A[er the ReflecPon Pathways A different view of the exit route, at this point, the reflecLon sLll encompasses the site, the buildings’ reflecLon can vary and is totally diverse. This area lets the users view the hierarchy between the installaLon and the architecture, as well as the proporLon of the lines, leading the users eyes to the upper level.

Scheme of Design The PerspecPve Structure The interacLve point of the installaLon overhead. It is the up view from the ground floor, demonstraLng the effect of perspecLve, coupled with different angles of view. The lines look like cross to each other and shows the rhythm of the line structure. The structure connecLng two objects, it represents the small scale part get into the exiLng one or in verse, both are possible depending upon the feeling and the Lme. During rainy days, raindrops will stop on the connecLng lines. The structure connects the installaLon to the exisLng building and is interacLve depending upon the condiLons of the environment.

The Way of the Exit The ramp as the image shows, however the view is totally different. The curved reflecLon ader the transiLonal staircase is the rhythm of the space tempo. It contrasts between the exiLng building, an impassive flat exterior wall and the installaLon’s curved surface. Providing a lively and interesLng expression. When the user walk through here, both sides of the scene will provide the visual flow as per waves.

SpaLal DesLnaLons – InteracLve Point A & B The InteracPve Point A Commodity When the users approach the installaLon, there is the spiral staircase that sends them to up and into the installaLon. Through the stairs, they can touch the exterior of the installaLon. Before the user enters int the installaLon they feel it, the atmosphere is simple, pure, interesLng and curious. Upon walking through the doorway, users will engage with the fist interacLve point A. At this point, the user stands in front of the exiLng window, there is the projecLon behind it which projects a short the film of a NBCW worker in the stamp room of the works that swap it from it’s original place to the raised level to represent the scene of NBCW works in different ways. It combines the sound and smell of the stamp room, whilst simultaneous a film is playing.

Firmness Following the spiral staircase, the first image of impact is the clear structure, it doesn’t have decoraLons within the point A, is as a balcony with the projecLon. The reason that use the glass being to provide the user the a view of the whole exterior. The speaker and the smell release system are inserted into the wall and beneath the floor. The speaker set at the same height of the visual level around 150cm. The smell system installed within the floor void, preprogrammed to releasing the aroma inside the installaLon, adding another sensory dimension to the users journey.

Delight The ﬁrst interacLve point is the second introducLon of the Sodspace. Inside the installaLon an inner tube combines with natural daylight, sensory equipment, the texture of the exiLng architecture, together with the curved form of the space that can play with the light at diﬀerent Lmes of day and weathers.

Projector & ProjecPon Speaker Smell System

The InteracPve Point B Commodity The second interacLve point is a long curved aisle, it deters users from seeing the end of the installaLon, also it has rhythm of varying natural light. The interacLve key is the wall beside the pathway which allows the user to touch, press on and lean upon. When users press on it, the curve of outside will be influenced, resulLng in a change of reflecLon. The interior is a symbolic breathing space, and the changing reflecLon of the exterior shows the architecture is performing and dialoguing with the environment.

provide a curious atmosphere that lets the space create interesLng interacLon.

The TransiPonal Staircase Commodity This is the transiLonal space between Part a and Part b of the installaLon. The stairs are going in a downwards direcLon and whilst descending, it provides the user with a visually distorted experience of the surrounding reﬂecLons which can extend the space and also reﬂect the light and scenes. It is the link by which the texture of the inside is mirrored to the outside.

Firmness

Delight

The stair structure is made from steel and provides a stable connecLon between the two parts of the installaLon. The connecLon is made using the zip to link Part a and Part b. Primarily, there is the track below the steel stair structure and the fabric has to ﬁt the down structure ﬁrst and then pull it to each sides. Zip it up on one side and Lghten it up to the other side then zip it up again. The purpose is to create the natural curve of the transiLonal pathways, it doesn’t maher that the ceiling will be lower than the head, as there is no structure present. the users will be required to push it up, adding to the interacLve element of the installaLon.

The lighLng is installed under the steps which lets the light through to illuminate the curve. The reﬂecLon inside the space creates a visual illusion allowing the user to engage with the space.

SpaLal DesLnaLons – InteracLve Point D & E The InteracPve Point D Commodity

Following the transiLonal staircase, the forth interacLve point is the OLED panel of lights. Sensors track movement and represent the users movements.

Firmness The oversized stair treads allow the user to interact with OLED wall, whilst the sensors track movement both near and far. The interacLve wall combines the technology such as; OLED panel, developed by Philips. The sensors track movement and switch the OLED’s on or oﬀ.

Delight The wall will change subject to the u s e r s m o v e m e n t . I t i s t h e performance stage for users to interact with each other.

The InteracPve Point E Commodity

The ﬁnal interacLve point of the journey is a suspended curtain, that the user is require to part to facilitate their exit.

Firmness The user next experiences the slow moving, conveyor belt floor which travels backward in 3cm per second. The user is unable to sense that the floor is moving before they step upon it. The hanging curtain is constructed from materials formerly used by NBCW, perhaps cohon fabrics with different paherns, tougher with metal pressings produced as coffin fipngs in the stamp room. The visitors have to push aside the hanging drops when they are going through here and their hand can touch the texture of it and the sound comes from the string of metal pieces strike each others.

Delight The atmosphere at this ﬁnal point gives the visitors the conclusion of the senses, even there is not combine all of them but also the main point is inside the mind of human being which is the centre of the senses and they will remember in their heart.

Design Details The DeconstrucPon of the InstallaPon The deconstructed image illustrates the exploded layers of the installaLon. Furthermore, it provides a simplisLc view of each of the interacLve points.

LAYER 1 -‐ The Solar Panel Allowing natural daylight to penetrate the interior space, whilst providing electrical power enabling self suﬃciency.

LAYER 2 -‐ The ReﬂecPon & Stretch Curve Skin The shrink mirror is the main material of this project, coupled with stretch fabric and interacLve memory foam material, allowing a curved structure.

LAYER 3 -‐ The InteracPve Points This layer shows the interacLve Point a & c are independent components ader the transiLonal staircase at Point d. The OLED panel leading to the hanging fabric curtain ion the ﬁnal part of the journey, the moving conveyor belt ﬂoor.

LAYER 4 -‐ The Route of the InstallaPon It shows the ground floor starLng point to the upper floor via the staircase, then following the curved aisle to the staircase from Part a to Part b. There are a small number of steps in Part b. The square space facilitates the conveyor belt floor, leading to the exit, and the end of the journey.

LAYER 5 -‐ The Carbon Fibre Structure This layer is easy to see how does the structure build. The structure of Part A is the costal carbon ﬁbre structure as the snake, and also the material is light and strong that lets the weight down. Furthermore, the structure of Part B is the circle as the tube or tunnel which support the curve skin can cover on it.

LAYER 6 -‐ The Structure of the FondaPon The structural element being it’s supporLng legs allow the raise in height to Part a. The structure is constructed from carbon ﬁbre layers, ensuring light weight upon the steel structure framework at its base.

LAYER 7 -‐ The Raise Base The base allows the structure to be constructed and also connects ensure the stability of the structure and correct posiLoning. In addiLon, it provides the space that can accommodate the cables and services, that keep the installaLon horizontal.

LAYER 8 -‐ The Ground Floor of Newman Brothers’ Coffin Works The original ground floor courtyard area retains it historic integrity. The ground surface will be reflected by the exterior of the installaLon. Thus the dialogue between the installaLon and historic architecture reflects and visually enhances both new and old.
