- I was talking with Course Leader recently, and she suggested a project which I think is a good idea.
- Some of the interiors could be to assemble & paint the Tower Bridge project - the Pause bench.
- We would need a small team of people (6-7) and it would take 1-2 sessions to get the bench up and painted.
- It would be even better if we can have this up in time for RIBA visitation on the 18th of September.
- Do you, can we include that in the curriculum?
- We shall fit it in, but make an educational opportunity out of it?
- I can envisage once students have seen their design and technology tutors and if they do not wish to learn from others crits then they could do something on the bench.
- I think there should be some discussion about timber finishes and choices and the aesthetic of reclaim and reuse.
- Whose design was it? Ilona or the Construction team?
- They will be in the year above so may not be available to ask.
- Will anybody have a view about it being done and are there any limitations or risks?
- Is it exposed to the weather now and does it need protection?
- Is the species suitable for paint, stain or none?
- Should it be painted and covered up or should it be left to weather, or stained to emphasis the variability of the reclaimed timber or stained to make it consistent?
- Or painted in numerous colours? like deckchairs?
- Is it to be used outdoors or indoors?
- Have the profiles been designed/made for outdoor weathered use?
- Do profiles need to be changed?
- Will it be dismantled to ensure good coverage and will it go back together again?
