Picture yourself now, in this mixed world; rushing to catch a plane. A wall separates some of you from others; no, the wall connects you. The material of the wall is a mix of mirror and transparency, in different gradations. You see yourself – you see a person on the other side of the wall – and now your head is on another person’s body. This wall doesn’t deserve the name ‘wall,’ it’s fluid – it swerves first into one corridor, and then, into the other corridor. The top of the wall curves over you to become a ceiling, which in turn curves down around you to become a parallel wall on your other side; it makes a cocoon, a tunnel. The bottom of the wall spills down to become the floor. This ceiling, this floor, this parallel wall mixes you with light. The transparent sections shoot out spots of light – as the material shifts from transparency to mirror. The separation wall corrugates; as the bulges enlarge, they make space for seats. Inside the bulge, you’re sitting within the adjacent corridor. The swells of wall, over you, get denser as you walk down the corridor – the swells turn, they veer off in your direction, they keep you moving down the corridor. </p> <p>This project view belongs to <a href="../../project/atlanta_airport/index.html">Atlanta Airport Transfer Corridors</a>, and is threadged with:</p> <ul> <li><a href="../../thread/2005/index.html">2005</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Airports/index.html">Airports</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Atlanta%20Airport%20Transfer%20Corridors/index.html">Atlanta Airport Transfer Corridors</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Buildings/index.html">Buildings</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Dar%C3%ADo%20N%C3%BA%C3%B1ez/index.html">Darío Núñez</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Eduardo%20Marques/index.html">Eduardo Marques</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Interiors/index.html">Interiors</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Lights/index.html">Lights</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Mix-Swarm-Multitude/index.html">Mix-Swarm-Multitude</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Peter%20Dorsey/index.html">Peter Dorsey</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Push%20and%20Pull/index.html">Push and Pull</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Reflective/index.html">Reflective</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Screen-Overlay-Camouflage/index.html">Screen-Overlay-Camouflage</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Seating/index.html">Seating</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Sehzat%20Oner/index.html">Sehzat Oner</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Transparent-Translucent/index.html">Transparent-Translucent</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Unbuilt/index.html">Unbuilt</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/United%20States/index.html">United States</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Wave-Ripple-Flow/index.html">Wave-Ripple-Flow</a></li> </ul> <p>(<a href="../../img/133/3.jpg">I</a>, <a href="../../img/133/3.jpg.large.jpg">L</a>, <a href="../../img/133/3.jpg.thumb.jpg">T</a>, <a href="../../index.html">A</a>)</p>
