THE CONCEPT...
The concept behind the final design was abstracted from our initial sketch models, resulting in a performance piece that was overtly spectacular...
THE SHAPE...
The shape was derived from the bottle neck concept of the transition from the tight, narrow streets around the High Street to the wide open expanse of space on the seafront.
THE PROPORTIONS...
Along our journey, and also Portsmouth, the thing that stood out as most overt was the Spinnaker tower, even though not directly on our journey. The proportions of our piece, being outside of the 2m x 2m x 2m boundaries was a nod to this.
THE ROPES...
The ropes were our streets, the way they intertwine with each other is representative of the urban fabric of Portsmouth. The ribbons were capillaries off of the streets. The key words that are stuck onto the streets and capillaries are our feelings of the journey, when laid in a random fashion some would be faced down giving a different experience of the journey every time.
THE MUSIC...
The music played in the background is a piece of Jazz that starts off slow and gets more intense as it progresses, something that is mirrored in our experience of the journey, as we started around the university, it was quite peaceful but nearer we got to the sea the busier it got.

DIPLOMA MODEL...
Orientation... from every node along the route the spinnaker tower is visible, just like Portsmouth's own 'North Star'.
