Well I had my first formal review of my project on Friday...It went very well, Rod was impressed with my progress so far and felt that the project has good potential.
My current proposal is to take a 6m shipping container and to split it into three pavilions with each pavilion taking on a different role within the installation. The purpose of the installation is to engage the public into communicating about climate change using the governments 'Act on CO2' initiative.
As previously mentioned, the container will split into three pavilions. Once split the container sides fold down to create walkways, which will be used to join the pavilions together. The installation will be placed in town and city squares around the country and I want the pavilions, especially the walkways to become an extension of the street. This will result in a open relationship between location and installation, as shown in the image below.
I have a very strong philosophy that runs throughout the installation, from its purpose, materials and transport. The philosophy 'reuse, recycle, dissolve' means that every decision made regarding the scheme must meet one of the requirements.
There are three pavilions, with each one providing different information for the public. Pavilion One is designed to be an information centre for the 'Act on CO2' initiative, Pavilion Two is a communication area where the public can post tips and leave comments about climate change and Pavilion Three will provide a visual display denoting key events in the history of climate change.
