Water Table

Water Table is a potential architectural facet. This version is approx 1m high and 50 x 50 cm wide and deep. 

It works on the principle of horizontality, or perhaps the fact that water likes to find a level.

Net curtain and water will fuse together if both are horizontal - however I am not sure how much volume it will take,  so I have made two layers, thinking that some might come through.

Depending on the angle (horizontal) of the net, water will hold in the tiny spaces in between the threads or (if vertical) it will quickly disappear. This happens as if by magic - It is not apparent where it goes it seems to just 'pop' away. Actually it is just draining down to the bottom, by 'popping' rather than flowing. The closer it is to some sort of object in the net, ie. a bit of embroidery pattern - the quicker it disappears.  

It may be that a tiny tweaking of the angle will allow a fusion and a bit of movement, so that water can go on its way - I need some rain to find this out. 

                             

The structure tries to embrace water, and asks questions about ones desire  to be completely protected from it when dwelling outdoors. It all looks very delicate, and it is quite a precarious thing, but really it requires a certain hardy-ness. Although the chances of getting soaked are slimmer, they are definately still present.

I left some net hanging, this is some kind of wall, it means if water, the wind, the net or I adjust the angle away from horizontal, water has something to flow down. 

The net curtain could of course be interpreted as signaling the desire to be shielded in ones dwelling, to be able to look out  but not have others look in. It works differently outside though because light is all around it, it is not one-way at all, it is just a fragile boundary. 

This has given me a rough idea for a structure.
