Day 05 – Liam Kelly

Discussing apparatus layout

In the morning we had a very productive design session.  After three days of development the active/ adventure area, it’s apparatus and their arrangement are nearly finalised. Utilising the daisy wheel to underpin the setting out and overall form of the design has led us to produce an interesting and individual play structure.

After a visit to the local timber merchant we have been advised that Manilkara zapota or ‘Sapodilli’ and pine heart wood rounds are the most suitable species to construct the playground. We can now start our cutting list to be sent to the local saw mill. 

Now looking forward to taking the detailing forward and designing a reciprocal roof structure for the centrepiece of the active/adventure area.
