Don't you find that bus stops are just so boring? Everybody is just waiting. That's all that space is used for. Waiting and anticipating. Noone talks to each other or takes any notice of the surrounding area. We wait there, all staring at the horizon in the hope that the 122 will come round the corner any minute.. now...hmm now? NOW?
This got me thinking. As I sit staring at, i mean observing, the people waiting inanely at the two bus stops I can see from my living room window, I notice other points only used for the purpose of waiting. The three pedestrian crossings for example. In fact the whole area I can see from my window is stale. Where's the excitement in this environment?
This is all in relation to a brief named 'Design Your Own Environment.' I decided I wanted to actively affect the behaviour of people occupying the area surrounding my house. In what ways can I cause some sort of change, some sort of way of affecting the way in which people use and interact with this environment?
