Why you are doing what you are doing?

What I want from the beginning from my project is to design it for people and make a design that will have benefits for them. I was thinking about how people are live now days and how I am living. Lots of stress, hours in front of the screens at work, school, and then at home, sitting lifestyle, bad eating, no exercising, living in urban core with lack of nature. This everything have a very bad impact on our health and our well being.

At the start of the unit I was hardly stick with nature theme and to design installation/pavilion/structure that will bring nature to the urban core and will provide place for people to relax. I focused my research on connecting people with nature, and what benefits it have, I found out that the nature have big impact on us and our life's, and that this is a very important part of our healthy lifestyle, it have big impact on our body but also and mainly on our mind. So I was think more about my project and about the purpose of it and this lead me to do more specified research, about healthy lifestyle, how it affect us, and what actually healthy lifestyle mean and why people should to live more healthy.

I decided that my design will be about promoting healthy lifestyle and helping people to start to live that way. It will be about, to educate people and fully explain to them what the healthy lifestyle is and why people should chose this way of living.

My design will be a temporary pavilion, the purpose will be promoting healthy lifestyle and will provide quick and effective meeting (for free) that could help people to start live more healthy. I want to do this as lots of us don't care about their lifestyles or sometimes we don't know how to start or we think we don't have time for this. I want to create a place that will provide all information and help but also will encourage people to the healthy lifestyle and show them that this have matter.

I chose to do this as in the UK are lots of health problems that are caused by unhealthy lifestyle, like: Obesity, heart diseases, diabetes, poor well being/depression. Those problems are very serious and UK is very high in ranking for obese people, which then cause other health problems. My researches shows that healthy lifestyle have big impact on our physical and mental health. Which mean that it is very important and serious choice to make as it affects our whole body and mind.
