Breathing Space : London Design Festival 2017

  • Daragh Anderson
Working on a project for London Design Festival 2017 where a physical installation in a public square in shoreditch would raise awareness about air quality issues in Lodnon by displaying real time air quality data. We measured the main causes of detrimental air pollutants to humans and deployed a number of means including infographics and data visualisation of the data we had collected. These were featured to drive users to the site whoch was erected in parnership with ARUP and Hassell architects. The main takeaway from our findings was the sheer variance that taking a less congested route can make in the amount of pollutants you encounter, even within a busy city like London. We hoped this would encourage users to consider taking a little extra breathing space in their day to benefit their own wellbeing.
