This task involved placing the designed sleeping machine into the partial demolition space. My ideas stemmed from the current political situation in which the government will be responsible for the rise in student fees. At first my ideas revolved around the sleeping machine providing basic living for those who could not now afford a maintenance loan to cover living costs but I took this further by also making it something that students could use to get more for their money in terms of taking claim over the spaces they use which would therefore have an effect over the hierarchy of education with the students moving from the bottom to the top due to the amount of control they would now have. 

It also worked well that my original designing of the machine looked at the divide between public and private so this machine was now providing very private and isolated spaces for people to disappear into within a busy and public space.
