INSTALLATION DAY
This was the big day! We crammed all the nets into a taxi, which drove them to Piccadily, where we had to carry them right across the centre, gaining much needed attention. We then began setting up and instantly drew a crowd of people! There were old, young, very young, men, women, smart, scruffy and even a news reporter from the Evening Standard! :D The day was a great success and I had a lot of fun, and im pretty sure the Piccadily public did too!

DAY - 8
This was just a quick meeting at 2 to finalise plans for the installation tomorrow. I looked into hiring a man-in-a-van but it was too short notice, so we decided on booking a taxi. We also talked about taking cameras and recording the process as best we could, and then looked forward to the experience we would be having tomorrow!

DAY - 7
This was the final build day, which I spend the morning mind-mapping FUN concepts and the afternoon making those concepts a reality. This involved making stencils for draughts and letters, buying blackboard paint for some of the sides and choosing fabrics for the cubes. We went back onto the balcony to spray onto the nets that we had ready.

DAY - 6
This was finishing off the wind chimes and continuing with the cutting out of the cardboard nets for the cubes. Fortunately it was a nice day and we were able to use the balcony on the 4th floor! The whole group was there and we worked together with a system that meant we got through the cutting asap.

Day - 5
On the final day of the week me and Rosa began building the wind chimes that would be placed inside the sound boxes. The morning involved researching and designing the chimes, with the afternoon consisting of a metal workshop induction and the actual cutting and filing of the chimes themselves. This posed many problems but was quite therapeutic at the same time!

Day - 4
This was spent cutting out the cardboard boxes!!! Initially we just made one large box to test is structurally and to allow an understanding of the design. As soon as this was confirmed we cracked on with building the other 59 boxes...

Day - 3
The idea that I presented to my group was the concept of a playground based around used tyres. I decided on this as it meant tyres could be recycled and used in a positive light. The tyres would be turned into rope swings, seats, flower beds, sound boxes, smell areas and anything else that could be conjured up. The undertone of the idea was to bring adults back into using all 5 of their senses, and to enjoy the fun you can have with them!

DAY - 2
Day 2 we met up and decided that we would spend the rest of the day and morning of Wednesday coming up with our own individual ideas and schemes. I spent the afternoon in studios with Rosa and Elliot working together and bouncing ideas off each other, until I reached my own conclusion.

DAY - 1
Day 1 was just spent learning each others names and getting to know the other members of the group. Very little was done, of which even less was productive. But we did set up a plan for the rest of the week and decide upon what we would get up to in terms of development!
