In nature, interacting with the elements often allow you to feel a sense of connection with it. My structure allows one to enjoy the element of wind by feeling the breeze and watching the ceneter-piece (dreidel) spin. The translucent pillars in the cardinal directions allow the audience to see the spinning dreidel from anywhere they want to stand.
My structure welcomes anyone. It allows people of the jewish religion to make a connection with the spinning dreidel. As well as the people not of the religion to make a connection with the nature and feel the breeze of the spinning center piece.

WATER
At rst glance. My space doesnt look like much other than some tubs of water and haning poles, but it is much more than that. Not only does it serve a function. It also allows one to be enhanced by the element water. Say youre walking home from work and it starts to rain. You spot my structure to your left and decide to stand under it to be covered from the rain. As the rain starts to pour down heavier, you notice that the water starts to pour into the tubs from the hanging tubes and a stream of water that forms a wall comes from the slits in the roof. Youre worried youll get wt but then realize that the tubs catch all the wayer. You peacefully listen to the rain ow through the structure while you wait for the rain to stop. when it nally stops, you walk away and look back and have a full understanding of the structures purpose
