Air Pollution Awareness center

Project revolves around the creation of an Air Pollution Awareness Center, a vibrant space designed to inform and involve communities in combating air pollution. Central to the design are pathways that serve as entry points, leading visitors to various functions within the center. These pathways are not only functional but also symbolic, featuring walls made from planting bricks that actively purify the air, thereby addressing air pollution at its core. Along these pathways, visitors encounter a range of interactive and educational spaces, including exhibition areas, gathering spots, workshops, and gardening zones. Placed strategically, these spaces encourage exploration and community engagement, providing diverse experiences aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of air pollution and its impacts. The design prioritizes fluidity and connectivity, with multiple entry areas ensuring accessibility from all directions. This approach promotes inclusivity and dialogue, inviting individuals from diverse backgrounds to participate in the center’s activities and discussions on air quality. Additionally, the design embraces the concept of impermanence by incorporating seasonal adaptability. The planting bricks used in the design can be manufactured during the summer months, assembled during winter, and allowed to degrade naturally during the rainy season. This not only reflects the transient nature of environmental challenges but also underscores the ongoing need for vigilance and action. In essence, our vision for the Air Pollution Awareness Center is to create a dynamic and engaging space that empowers individuals to become advocates for clean air and champions for a healthier planet. Through education, community involvement, and innovative design, we aim to inspire positive change and pave the way towards a sustainable future.
