Abstract:

The purpose of the project is to design a conceptualized stress reliever
for weary travelers by introducing new materials and media in traditionally
dull context of airports. Travelers encounter long hours of waiting and
anticipating in the airports. The facilities that provide luxury currently
in the airports are only accessible to the privileged travelers. Each
traveler has customized activities, such as reading, to pass the time spent
in terminals, yet a space that provides privacy and comfort is almost non-
existent. To help alleviate the stress and discomfort of travelers, this
installation intends to incorporate sound, lighting and soft materials into
a rocking chair that would create an experimental interface of sensory
experience that allows travelers to customize the atmosphere of their waiting
/resting area.
