The Big Day

Assembly and setting up:

We had to get to the studio for 8am in order to load the van for 8.30am!

Once the van arrived at the Moor, we unloaded the van and started to assemble our structure. It actually didn't take that long to set it up, I would say approxiamately around 10-15 minutes.

Attention to detail:

It was great to see that all our efforts in paying attention to detail payed off and it was very satisfying to see the all our hard work finally standing!

Interaction:

Many members of the public stopped as they were walking past and were intrigued by what we were doing.

It was refreshing to speak to different people and I feel that our structure definitely initiated conversation.

Lots of people were genuinely impressed with  our pendulum concept, although quite a few did mention that upon interaction, they expected it to produce a sound. 

People were also impressed with how the majority of our structure was constructed from reclaimed materials, and how we planned to recycle these materials.

The Review:

At 1.30pm the reviews took place, where students, tutors and the public were able to participate.

The tutors commented on the attention to detail that our structure had shown, as well as the innovative way we had used reclaimed materials.

However they did suggest that we could have explored our material a bit more, as well as looking at sound (just as members of the public had said).

Disassembly:

At 3pm it was time to call it a day (after 7 hours which went past surprisingly fast).

Just as quick and easy as it was to assemble, our structure took 10 minutes to disassemble.

All the metal that we had sourced from the scrap yard and the skip, were bagged and returned back to the scrap yard.
