Purification chambers

 Mid section of the Terminal is where the transformation of the visitors' begins.
Once the campers made their way through check-in they are divided by gender and directed to changing rooms.
There, cathedral-like lockers provide depository for the 'contemporary' attire before one showers and returns to claim their Luggage in advance Kit. Campers enter this Purification Cathedral clad in current fashion and leave as their 1950s alter-egos.

While each of the visitor showers, their deposited luggage is swapped for the Kit, by behind-the-scenes Dumb Waiter mechanism. The lockers are loaded with Kits at Lower Ground Floor Level, delivered to Ground Floor to be claimed, while deposited luggage is stored in Lower Ground Floor vaults, until the Person's departure. Luggage is claimed at Departure Level- First Floor Level, where reversal of the 'purification' process takes place.

Time and space signifiers have been removed as much as possibile to achieve a 'no place' aesthetic, preparing visitor's for the '50s visual galore.
