CARD NINE
Perspex
-Formally called a Poly(methyl methacrylate) / PMMA, is a transparent thermoplastic.
-It is also called as acrylic glass and therefore is an organic glass at room temperature.
-When heated up, it can be moulded into desired forms and shapes. First, the perspex can be heated up so the molecules connections become loose. Next, it can be bended and formed into a desired form with a supporter and be cooled down til room temperature.

Polystyrene
-Made from the monomer styrene, a liquid petrochemical.
-It is a form of plastic.
-Its weakness in heat allows it to create curvatures easily.
-Low cost and easy to use, easy to get.
-it provides the ability to create a sculptural form which extends further from the laser cut panel volumes.

CARD ELEVEN
Projection screen-tensile structures.
For the Dome stairs, we thought it would be interesting and interactive to use the material of a projection screen where less human contact is made and shoot imagery or movie with sound in order to create a desired atmosphere and experience. Thus, an art-exhibition-like experience can be achieved. The imagery or the movie can be altered and changed into different settings creating a wide variety of experience which can be also actively used in events.
-White or grey screens or spaces is needed.
-Coating the stair structure with fabric will create a similar effect of a projection screen.
