1. THE BIRDS

2. SPACE
A metaphysical resource that we
all use, and are slowly running out
of. Many areas require our own
personal space, which we are
denied on an increasing basis.

3. PRIVACY
The state or condition of being free from
being observed or disturbed by other
people.
As space becomes less and less, privacy
suffers...

5. ATM’S
A cash machine is a perfect example of a
public space where the need for privacy is
crucial.
The sense of encroachment from the line
behind is an uncomfortable one. The feeling
that your personal details are being stared
at creates unease and worry...

6. OPINION
‘People want some kind of barrier between
them and those behind, I don’t feel
comfortable otherwise...’
‘I’m always scared someone is looking over
my shoulder, it’s scary that they could be
looking at my details.’
‘I try to shield my pin, but theres always
some people who seem to encroach...’

8. OPINION
‘We want our ATM machines to give out
a positive image, we want them to be a
service people feel completely at ease at.’
‘We have put up barriers and bollards to
encourage people to give more privacy to
those at the machines in the past... but
they look imposing and ugly.’

9. OUR AIM
We wanted to use an object to create a
barrier between people when using the
machine and restore that sense of personal
space.
Unlike barriers and bollards, the pigeons
do not overtake the space, yet they still
manage to define it.

12. PIGEONS?
Pigeons invade people’s space every day.
They have become an every day part of our
environment, with many people wanting to
avoid them.
These pigeons invade your space in a
harmless way, so that other people cannot.
