Friday tutorials and back to the drawing board…
At the time I am writing this, the concept of an interactive wall that rests on the existing brick walls and flower bed on the site is long gone unfortunately. Health and safety reasons do not allow us to place a 300 kg installation on a wall from where it could easily fall and even kill a child.
So after a long group brainstorming session, we came up with an array of different ideas…
We finally settled on a revised version of our original concept. We decided to create a group of stratified elements that would be placed in a crescent shape. The spaces between the individual bricks would direct people’s lines of vision with turf triangles on the ground to emphasise these. The reduced height of the modules meant that people would need to bend down to look through them, so we came up with the idea to make them double as a seating area.
We then continued to source materials and building formwork to begin making our bricks!

Second hand turf
We made a test and left it to dry in the girls toilets over the weekend…
Have a nice weekend everyone!
