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.
