This past friday the group came to a consensus on a structural scheme that was simple enough to be accomplished and graceful enough to work with the canopy. Rather than trying to think our way through where the poles should occur on a piece of paper we went straight to the site for a full scale mock up. It was instantly apparent the impact this structure was going to have in creating a gathering space on the site. My only concern was the density of the poles creating an artificial forest on the site and getting in the way of performances, but it was not too bad. Returning to the site on saturday many of the poles had fallen and their were curious looks coming from all over, with the broken bamboo not doing much to assuage the doubts. Still, there was a lot of positive feedback and finally we feel like we have something that may just get built.
