During
the air travel experience, there is a compression that the
traveler goes through as they move through the air travel
experience. They begin outside and as they step into the terminal,
through the concourse, to the gate, onto the jetway, into
the airplane and finally into their seat, their world has
become considerably more compact. The frustrations and anxieties
of traveling can be intensified by this experience.
Serene
Stream is an environment that lifts the traveler above the
chaos of the airport concourse and delivers them to their
gate on time and in a relaxing manner. The Serene Stream connects
the traveler with the outside world through large curved floor
to ceiling glass surfaces. The panoramic views perceptually
enlarge the travelers’ world before they spend the next
few hours in a small airplane seat, making the experience
more enjoyable. It is my assertion that by shifting the travelers
experience prior to boarding the plane, we can effect the
experience they have on the plane.
