Component: Base design



This is what we were thinking for the base. In the centre, there will be a podium for the rockets to be put into their sockets, the central podium will also act as a light box. On the floor, there will be 4 pumps that are dedicated to the rockets, the rest that are distributed on the floor will act as air pressure pumps which re-circulate the feathers that have fallen, back into the space. On the perimetre we put a 300mm perspex panel on each side to encase the feathers within our 2x2 space. 

The critique of this design is that the central podium draws too much attention to itself, steeping back, what we initially wanted was for people to experience the effects of the feathers falling, therefore, we might not need the central podium at all. Will keep you guys posted...
