Tunnels
The title of this project is related strongly to the question of legend or history. Tunnels, pools and ghosts are often part of the lore that we tell as students and as a university. The tunnels are an odd part of this lore, most of us know they exist and yet few of us have ever been there. The tunnels exist creating an underground network of pipes and wires, they’re exciting but only if you’re a tunnel connoisseur. However, their name helps them grow larger than life; tunnels sound mysterious, exciting and have an adventurous element involved. The idea of the tunnels may be the most exciting part of them. To student’s they present the possibility of traveling on campus without stepping outside in the winter. In the winter the tunnels resurface because the idea of them is more appealing. Interestingly during harsher winters the idea of tunnels is more present because they are more appealing. The story of the tunnels is preserved because of the climate we live in and the mystery and potential surrounding the image of tunnels.
