Design Competition (B2)
Idea 1: THE JIGSAW
This idea was put forward without much consideration before the day of the design competition and although at the time it was embraced for its encouragement of interaction after only a few minutes deliberation it was deemed unsafe and binned!
Idea 2: THE WISHING WELL
The concept of this idea was loved amoungst the group members, however it is unfeasable for a rubble built stone structure to hold the water that was integral for the design, so this too was abandoned.
Idea 3: …THE EGG!!
The design was firstly inspired by the idea of leaving a thought/wish behind in some way, much the same as prayers are left behind in the ‘wailing wall’ Jerusalem. The form of the structure was chosen to represent the rebirth of Barnsley (of course!!) and was loosely based on several designs by Andy Goldsworthy.

i really like your piece of art. actually i came to know about you through my princepal. he teaches us arts and designe in school. i am in taktse international school in india,sikkim,gangtok. you art of doing things are really cool+awsome= i like!!
Even this art is really really awsome. No one really htinks of doing such things. People tend to do pretty art ans gooddy one. But one thing I’ve learnt from my teacher is art doesnt mean pretty or plastic. Its the way how you look at it. Which doesnt prove that your art isnt pretty its excellent, atleast for me. thak you once again Noami.
