We have been progressing with our designs and making of Joshuas model.
We created many mock ups with card to try work out the angles for this complex shape we took from Joshuas drawing. Working within the workshops we had to simplify the shape to a box, however we kept the angles mirrors in the corners to bounce the light round the box at all angles anytime of day. We also took Joshuas ingenious idea for water tubes to water the plants, and included holes for the oxygen. Through lots of research we have also developed a logo using the letters UV and the idea of space as well as the vibrant colours of flowers.
