Float with the Flowers
Beam Camp is a 5-week summer program for boys and girls aged 7-17 in Strafford, New Hampshire, USA. The camp cultivates hands-on skills in the fine and manual arts while exploring innovative thinking, design and the creative process. Each summer a Project Master is commissioned to design a unique large-scale collaborative endeavor that campers produce and enjoy.
The project 'Float with the Flowers' was designed for the particular location of the 'Beam Camp' within a deep forest and next to tranquil lakes. Derived from nature the idea combines two elements - water and earth. Inspired by the water lily and the rose of Jericho the approach suggests a self built toy that transforms from a 'land use' towards a floating 'water occupancy'. Due to basic gravitational rules the structure opens once it is pulled into the lake.
When the 'flower' rests on shore it is closed and the leaves form a protected introverted sculpture. Still the vehicle can be pushed around and being played with but might also just wait on some designated spots to be torn into the lake. Inside the water it revives. Like a water lily that catches sunlight in the early morning hours it slowly opens until it's leaves touch the water surface. Now the structure works like a big airbed or float and can be used as swimming islands.
Lego Delights
Daniel chose and bought this with a gift card he received for Christmas. We kind of ignored the 7-12 age range, for this inquisitive almost-five-year-old. But he did need help building it.
