Large Scale Prototype_3 (Scale 1:2)

Water Movement Analysis

Prototype_Physical Erosion Test As erosion happens only at 1:1 scale, the prototypes had to also be of similar scale to fully understand the erosion effect, surfaces changes, patterns formed, creation of openings and water distribution. The prototype consists of a curved wall with a designed water path at the micro level. Water source is located at the top as point positions. The two sides of the wall have different floor patterns to guide the water in a way that people can walk on the floor without stepping on water. The model was eroded for a period of 2 months to analyse the erosion effects at real scale.
