Evening MAD followers... a very productive afternoon and lots to report!
At the start of the day we had our timber panels ready to go...
...and our recycled blue overalls cut up (int0 50,000 pieces) and ready to attach... and how, may you ask, is this going to form our public realm space?
Well, we've had numerous groups touring the competition and there's Nate below, trying to explain our design, with no form to demonstrate it as yet...
So, let us tell you hows its to be done... this is the first of our pods being constructed by Zac, Taylor and Ben, whilst another touring group gets an explanation of our concept design.
Two sides of each pod will be treated with the blue overall cuts... this process is taking us 2 hours per side (with 8 to do, that's 16 hours to complete this phase alone)... !
By 4pm, we had the first side treated with the recycled overalls and when we got it outside we understood the simplistic beauty that the form has in the wind...
Following completion of the second side of the first pod, we marched it down to our site from Shed 4.
Once on site, we played with sides of the first pod to understand how our pathway would look and feel... this soon attracted lots of attention from the locals, who were keen to try it out...
We then began to move the pod into position...
We got back to the Shed for dinner and had a visit from our bosses, who were enthusiastic and supplied with a box of beer to see us through the night... (thanks Simon and Tony)
As you can see, we have been treated to the most spectacular firework display, by the organisers and competition sponsors, which lifted our spirits and given us the motivation to continue into the night...
14 hours to go!
Keeping voting MAD followers
MAD out.
