Water Fountain Design
In this task, my class was set in groups of three. We were required to design a functioning water fountain from scratch. First is our design defense slideshow in which we had to present our design to a panel in order for them to critique our work. This PDF displayed material costs as well as design views (exploded, orthographic and 3) and out 1:3 functioning model.
Then we moved on to creating the actual fountain. We started off with a functioning 1:3 scale model out of styrofoam that meaures 1 ft. tall and 1 ft. wide (seen above). After the critique our group decided to elongate the design giving the half spheres a more elongated shape. The first steps in our process started with a chicken wire cyclinder folded into a spherical head. Then a paper machet mixture was applied.
