One interesting observation or surprise? I hadn\u2019t fully anticipated that people would view the disks and the creations as fragile. In fact, first thing in the morning, some of the maintenance staff were quite worried about people trashing the creations, especially kids barreling through and jumping on them. Quite to the contrary, although people were totally mesmerized and attracted by them, they treated them as if they were made of eggshells\u2026..typically asking permission to touch or play and generally being extra careful. I\u2019ve seen this happen before on a number of projects such as this one (click here), where although the end structure might be excepti strong and durable, because it appears fragile and perhaps even lovely, it somehow taps into people\u2019s best instincts and avoids the very worst doom and gloom predictions of how people are going to treat it. Yep, sometimes the appearance of fragility coupled with a dash of disarming beauty can be an excellent design tactic, especially when \u2018testing\u2019 public spaces.
