Tuesday meeting

Our tree evolved greatly since the last model we made! (before and after shots below)

I used the negative shapes from the smaller tree we had previously cut out to make two structures which were to protrude out from the walls

After discussing this with the group we decided that there was a health and safety risk involved in having structures from walls that people could build onto as heaps of people moving around and touching it at once could cause it to topple. 

As an alternative placing the cut-offs on walls, we could attach them to the light-box that the tree would be sitting on top of. This way we are still using up our waste and adding another element for our keen tree builders to utilise.

I particularly liked the shapes that were able to be hung from other shapes.

This photo shows the scale of our tree (but it can be built much bigger!)

One important issue we must resolve before the day is how we attach our tree base to the box. This could be done with glue. Also, the parts on either side of the slots start to come apart (shown below) when the tree is built up a lot. These will also need to be fastened.
