kalifire Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Still no idea where Arcadia are going with this. The symbol on the map is circular - is that a clue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Chris Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Never mind dressing the other or the pyramid. Looks like the urinals at the back of the pyramid field are soon to be dressed! The welcome sight for us weak bladdered old hippies who still think we can down pint after pint of cider and smoke anything wrapped in a rizla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbreaker Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Some digging action beginning at the pyramid! Beginnings of the speaker stacks maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The symbol on the map is circular - is that a clue? The blurb says it's going to be 50m tall and will incorporate an old RAF radome cover - i.e. those golf ball radar things. The radomes at RAF Fylingdales were 40m high before they were replaced with rectangular things. If, for example, they had got hold of a Fylingdales-sized radome, and mounted it 10m off the ground, that would be a spectacle to match the spider. (I doubt they'd be able to do anything on this scale though - a more realistic project would be a smaller radome mounted up high with other stuff mounted below it.) They're complicated geodesic constructions, and at that size they're going to be heavy. It would definitely need something like that crane base to keep it supported in the wind etc. I don't reckon they'd want to mess around too much with the golf-ball for structural reasons, so perhaps they're going to stick a spherical projector inside it, and maybe have a few flame throwers or stage electricals sticking out of it? That would tie in with the other theme in the blurb - they claim it will be available for young artists to express themselves in future years, (i.e. putting together projection displays?)

tarw Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Could the radomes be on the ground with stuff projected from the inside? And other stuff suspended from the crane. How about a stage hanging from the crane with all of the flame throwers and gubbins underneath swooping over the revellers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madyaker Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 A stage hanging from the crane doesn't sound realistic ? Big heavy structures like a stage being dangled over a crowd by a crane sounds a like a no no to me in terms of health and safety. I'm very curious to see what they come up with though, it's impressively massive already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely the crane tower is a support for something or if it used for suspending anything it will be cordoned off underneath. 50 metres high is massive though. Sure it will be amazing but I get the feeling that it's going to grow into something special over the years. Surely the main body of the crane will be a permanent fixture on the site now with all the foundations that have gone in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought the eagle eyed would have spotted that by now though if it were needed and becomes a permanent structure I must say I have absolutely no idea but yeah I'm sure somebody would have picked up on a planning application having gone in by now. I always thought planning was required over a certain height but I guess that would change for a temporary installation or block 9 etc. would have to have permits and stuff in place too. And I guess it would only be a case of removing the bolts to dismantle the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
