Design Competition

As every two groups were assigned one material, a design competition was held (14th Feb) to see which group's idea should be completed for the final installation.

Our team won the design competition!

So.... that means our idea gets to be made for the installation!

Our tabletop presentation for the design competition

Our idea

Our idea is uses a  pendulum mechanism, only lots of them on a horizontal bar and we're looking to use the frame partitionings as part of our design.

We came up with idea to vary the heights of the partitionings and these would correspond to sound levels at the Moor ( which we will record).

The Mechanism

How it works is that they will be weights at the bottom between every two frame partitionings/ rectangle metal pieces (or whatever you want to call it), and this will stop them from swinging all the way round.

At the moment we're thinking that the swinging motion will be started by someone giving one frame partitioning a push, and this would trigger the others. This would work by us threading all the frame partitionings together by a single wire at the bottom.
