    I can't stress enough how a Rhinoceros 3D would look like with the sections, elevations, axonometric and the grasshopper 3D code would look like. It would simply be a tour the force in architecture and design. This is simply outstanding.

    An amazing piece of engineering. So very clever. The concept of mounting all of it in a ball on a floor to ceiling pole makes it a real artwork.

    The sheer magnitude and complexity of design, planning, angle calculations, mathematics, construction time, and the emotional investment of blood, sweat, and tears involved are beyond my imagination.

  • @davisfamily3201
    @davisfamily3201 7 лет назад +3

    Waaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! 100% Awesome! The aesthetic of the sphere is fantastic - and absolute genius to place it near the window and stairs. The lighting is so interesting - like you have stripped away the shell of a planet and we are looking at its inner working...and as you go up the stairs you must get all these interesting new perspectives. The fact that you can spin it as well is just the icing on the cake. Inspiring!

    2. Every lane has a diferent collorful ball..
    3. U can make epoxy ball using resin, and give some fosfor to make it glow..

      I want to try, I'm all thumbs when it comes to anything requiring manual dexterity (last time I tried to wash a tea cup I burnt the house down) but i'd still like to give it a go!
      I'm guessing you use stainless steel rods and form them into the intricate trackwork. Do you solder them together with a normal electronic soldering iron?

    Fine ! I have a friend who makes same ones, but with golf balls and nessarily less intricate and long. And he puts them on the sand in flying kites festivals. Some balls "disappear" from time to time but chidren never break them. They often gather the balls to let them go together and see how they separate according to switch points and meet again at the lower point.
