Due to the non-uniform shape of the blocks that we were to use to construct the sculpture any developement had to be done through a vernacular process rather than a drawn. From this we quickly discovered that the egg shape was not possible as the overhang/bulge could not be created safely. The design changed and adapted through many different styles and techniques until restin on the final design as follows:
Design 1: A simple cylindrical design with a slate roof.
Design 2: A tower consiting of layers of dressed stone and rubble stone separated by rings of slate.
Design 3: A spiral of slate cutting through a rubble built mound.
