Pub - Lighting - Tamesis Dock Lighting in pubs are always important to consider. Why? The atmosphere is mostly generated by lightings in the evening specially in the witner.

To me, the highlited area with colours showed the lightings positions in a pub was not appropriately positioned in the interiors but the ambience did feel relaxed.

Adoption - Tamesis Dock This pub experience, above the Thames River, was surrounding by panoramic lighting from buildings, reflections of the river and natural lights. It experiences the radical weather changing every day.

From yellow in the morning to dawn, I’ve observed, I felt getting colder outside but wanted to spend more time on the lighting skyscrapers.

Shared Living Room - Gloucester Arms Before walking in the Gloucester Arms, I felt it was just a pub with ornamentation and plants.

Getting inside the big door, it witnessed a warm house, seeing people playing their laptops and phones. Some even watching nowhere and windows. People went there just for relaxing, sports, chatting etc. The more duration I stayed there the freer I felt like. I started to be relaxed and took out my notebook and laptops working on my business. Therefore, I found another livingroom-like space outside my house.

Lights to Drinks, Dandelyan It is enjoyable that spending time just next to the Thames.

I did not focus much the variation outside but inside. The table next to me with candlelight shined particularly my drink. It was just because I moved my drink toward the candlelight. Without this movement, I felt these cocktails were not attractive enough to seduce me to drink. A little candlelight is powerful enough to enhance the appearance of drinks.

Vanishing UK.....?

I am disappearing seamlessly, but I remembered we shared the same past same history and helped each other.

We were a pie. When a pie is lacked a taste of sweet or salt, what does it taste like?

Circulation The Old Bank Of England People visited this bar must have been a journey which required passing through the staircase to get the beers. It is interesting that people getting a beer by passing through a staircase rather than having a little bar in their level.

However, in this journey, how to not to let people avoid walking the staircase and let then enjoy the time spending on it? To provide a staircase which could also let other people come and have a pint of beer is playful.

Furniture, The Gun The isolated furniture represents one of the elements of a living room but they are placed in a pub without any sequence. For itself, furniture in this environment provides people to feel the warmth and experience the temperature inside rather than being isolated by luxury interiors, chairs and tables.

Mind The Mat, this post-Brexit pub offers you a chance to show up your nationality through the beer mats. While drinking beers, you can observe what colour of the beer mats people are having on the tables or their hands. Do seek for your own colour partner to go to the top floor and good luck.

Yellow Brass / Copper -Patina Memorial traces was experienced and left by times, surroundings and variable spatial scope. People, the most influential elements to the rock band, were internatioly affceted by the fastic rock band, EW&F. This is how I witness and trance their rock core.

Patina - Traces The brass instruments are often polished after a term of using but the used traces were disappearing when being polished. I experimented the process of generating their usage and it is going to showcase to people my traced story shelf.

Thermochromic - Traces Traces, are highly important for the later generation to witness and understand the past experience, traces and time. How do we reveal the unforgettable past? How do we witness the history? Watching, feeling or touching?

I believed that the variable experience can express their own enthusiasm and visitors can engage with the objects, shelfs and displays to celebrate their own old time.
