HISTORICAL NODES
The journey begins at the base of the WBPS, absorb and learn about the history and bring your knowledge to the next few spaces above to complete a fulfilled journey of remembrance and new memories.
Tubular circulation tunnels mimic the coal and energy production system, acting as a metaphor linking the past present and future. Welcome on board to the first stage of your journey!

Joinery pieces are designed in the way to represent the coal electrical generation process in a simple way that consists of 4 of the main process. You will be able to assimilate past knowledge in a unique way. The system will operate as the following:
Referring to the previous use of the site as a coal electricity power station, you will be able to experience an immersive spatial experience through this space. The interactive element within the tunnel allows you to have a metaphorical practical experience to activate the fog engine.
Use tunnel expression and nodes to connect spaces and increace chance of interaction.
Step 1. ‘Collect’ joinery - the first activation piece from the fog engine
Step 2. ‘Mill’ joinery the third activation piece from the fog engine
Step 3. ‘Rotate’ joinery - the second activation piece from the fog engine
Step 4. ‘Generate’ joinery - the last activation piece from the fog engine
The engine will operate when you press the start button and will release hot air through the tube which will create a chemical reaction of water vapour from the air, condensing due to the cooling effect of the carbon dioxide.
The combination of the fog engine and dry ice is a futuristic and sustainable way to generate fog to recreate the past spatial condition of having a smoke.
Being the bonding space in the newly proposed centre, it is designed to have diverse possibilities through the use of space. Without having any partition walls and enclosure, being a fully open space that is able to gather hundreds of people, makes the acoustic condition very chaotic. It uses a spatial way to mimic the mass spatial condition of being very hot and noisy.
