Change of Plans

Our group had a huge problem in the middle of the project. We would not be able to build the structures in that short amount of time, not to mention our island looked nothing like the other groups either. We then selected a few people from each group to be a SUPER group, to decide what ideas would work and which ideas could not be used. All the groups needed to show progression throughout each island. We decided on circles and squares because of the circular and liniar forms in the surronding areas that the parking lot is in. There was also to be no color, solid walls, or lettering of any type. This completely wiped the Mirage groups slate clean.
Our group had to rethink what we wanted to achieve with the concrete and how we could play with circles and squares in our island. We looked to oasis and desert group for verticality heights so we could remain consistant with their groups. We also took into consideration how tall our pole was as well.

Our idea then became six pillars going in a pattern of circle square circle and have a progression of stepping stones in the island as well. The height of the pillars was like the other surrounding groups, but went up in height eventually reaching the talk button on the pillar. This was to draw a persons eye to the light pole.
