Week 3 (Exp 2)






Disasters: Earthquake and Tsunami

Reference images from H.I.A.T




What parts of the building will break? 
Bits of concrete walls would break apart at areas (concrete cancer) or fall down completely and the steel supports would rust and could collapse.

What will grow / spread across the building's remaining surfaces (moss, mould, cracks, stains)? 
 Mould would grow around the cracks of the concrete left from the tsunami. There would be rust spreading around the steel supports and there would be many cracks to the concrete of the building.

What would be cool to make the process of decay interactive? 
As you walk past bits of the building, some concrete pieces could fall off. Also showing materials age overtime could be added.

What evidence of the building being lived in will you carefully reveal to the viewer? 
There would be chairs in the building that reveals it was once inhabited.

 Will you leave evidence of what disaster caused the building to be abandoned (eg, newspaper about nuclear war, used up fire extinguisher left on the ground, sandbags piled up to try stop flood water getting in, etc)?
 The moss on parts of the building would reveal there was a part tsunami where fallen pieces of slabs of concrete and slanted supports can suggest an earthquake.
