EXHIBITION DESIGN & ART DIRECTION
Architects and town planners make use of models to demonstrate 3d structures and examine whether their height is compatible with their surroundings. These models are sometimes computerized. Engineers also employ computerized models to test durability under extreme conditions.
In this exhibition visitors are presented with challenges and invited to build models and locate the strength of materials. Knowledge of basic scientific principles facilitates intuition and helps solve everyday problems. For example: How should you put up a ladder? How thick must a rope be to hoist a pail of water from a well? And how would you use a tent cloth, pegs and ropes to put up a tent on the seashore?
