Final Concept Before Production of Presentation

We intend to use similar diagrams in our final panels. Showing pedestrian movement and some others showing access and egress. 

Explorations of tectonics and structural capabilities. These ideas were not continued. 

Need to consider relationship diagrams, metaphor, perspective and narrative. Using above digram in final presentation. 

Looking at how to make the structural stable. Discussed encasing the opaque perspex in large  structural members that mimicked the bridge. These were decided to be too heavy looking and would ruin all attempts at the structure being a ghostly memory or reminiscent of this. The structure is now to be uncased within two lighter opaque skins of perspex, the shadow of the structure will still be visible.  

The folds are edgy and sharp - as is the bridge and the bunkers. The floor, walls and roof  are terms not applicable to this space. We ask instead, what is a floor? What is a wall? What is a roof? By employing tectonics and pushing this material we use it/manipulate it so that it acts as a type of walking area, wall area and shelter area. 

Silhouettes within the folie are integral to the concept of the space. Must be visible from bridge, city and cliff. Projections will occur from folie onto cliff. Will be people shadows as they pass though space. Will flicker onto cliff for a moment then disappear as the person passes through the projection field. This is what makes people want to come back to the site. Makes them want to engage again and again. We can see children especially taking a liking to playing in this projection field and encouraging therefore other families also to participate.
