This idea of the empowered 'breather' and the democratisation of the constitution of air is only possible under these ideologies. I wonder if we are not taking it too far.]]> Gabriel http://places.designobserver.com/feature/dangers-in-the-air-aerosol-architecture-and-invisible-landscapes/18918/#comments 2010-11-06T16:05:21-05:00

Another interesting tangent could be how the same socio-political mechanisms of control over the treatment of air quality evidence themselves in architectural space and building programs. For instance, an airport or border station function like a air/water filtration system, sequestering particulates and defining other discrete zones of differentiation within itself such as smoking compartments or pods for sleeping - each with their own contained atmospheric condition.]]> Jared Winchester http://places.designobserver.com/feature/dangers-in-the-air-aerosol-architecture-and-invisible-landscapes/18918/#comments 2010-10-22T01:11:25-05:00

From the project's website: "PUBLIC SMOG is a park in the atmosphere that fluctuates in location and scale. The park is constructed through financial, legal, or political activities that open it for public use.

Activities to create Public Smog have included purchasing and retiring emission offsets in regulated emissions markets, making them inaccessible to polluting industries.
