Project by Juyeon Park
Airports represent a critical threshold where human and environmental conditions are rapidly being replaced and restructured by automated systems. This thesis argues that these machinic viewpoints currently dictate TSA spatial organization, prioritizing throughput over human presence. In response, this project proposes a reconfigured waiting environment integrating benches and biophilic elements. By reintroducing human comfort, varied temporality, and sensory engagement, these architectural interventions offer a critical counterpoint, mediating the tension between the cold, binary logic of surveillance systems and the lived, experiential needs of the passengers within these automated transit zones.
