    Rationale
     
The tunnel upgrade seeks to ‘reframe’ the commuting experience so more people are encouraged to walk and use public transport through a revived level of enjoyment. The tunnel seeks to counter the production of pollution quite simply through the revitalisation of public space, challenging the current processes of building more roads as opposed to public spaces for pedestrians.
Environmental graphic treatment:

Through taking the clock face out of the preconceived idea of the circle with rotating hands and refitting the clock face to one entire rectangular wall of the 219m long tunnel time and the commuter experience is ‘reframed’. Additionally, the clock whilst relaying the hours and minutes of the day also displays the day and month of the year, this annual cycle intended to ‘reframe’ the journey through the tunnel itself through the act of retrospection. For what at times can seem like a very long journey through the tunnel is now shortened in its new annual context, where one would only see the full cycle of the clock in a twelve month period.
