Here are most of the models & maquettes I made this week to test out ideas and just plug away at the ideation phase.

One of the design points I have settled on is the predominant usage of wood in the design - bamboo, plywood (1-2 ply), pine. Things I’m still undecided on include whether or not to use gravel/stones in the final design, as well as deciding between using a projector or a CRT (cathode-ray tube monitor) to display the video interviews.

Design points which I need to figure out next week include how to ensure that the bamboo behaves - i.e. remains upright; and whether the “weave” effect of the plywood & bamboo can indeed be achieved (even 1-ply is quite stiff). I’ve decided against making furniture for the installation as well - I do not believe that I’ll have the time. The exception to this being the plinth that will house the projector & speakers - this I will need to design as well.

Additionally, the video interviews still require editing. Mhm. I still have an awful lot to get on with, and we’ve only got 2 weeks till the Easter break. Ho-hum. I miss having objective, precise, criteria in a project.
