Design concept shown in a fixed pose. The 3D view explores the form; effects and mechanisms are illustrative.
FROM ACTION TO DISCOVERY
How the interaction works
Move a figure
Compare a figure in the open with one placed beneath a roof.
Follow the runoff
Watch where intercepted water travels along the roof and gutters.
A CLOSER LOOK
Perspective render
Explore the arrangement of two open shelters, movable figures, rain streams and roof gutters.
LEARNING THROUGH PLAY
What visitors can discover
This concept brings shelter, runoff and observation into a shared water-table setting. Visitors can explore the idea at their own pace and compare what they notice with a partner.
Everyday engineering
A roof changes where rain lands.
Water paths
Sheltering one area redirects water somewhere else.
Comparison
Visitors can compare covered and uncovered positions in the same scene.
PART OF A BIGGER WATER TABLE
Planning Rain & Shelter
Provide access to both shelters and figures. Plan gutter discharge, splash control and figure storage while keeping the roof interiors visible.
The arrangement can be developed for a museum, science centre or play space as part of a custom water table. Final dimensions, materials and operating performance are established during design and engineering.
