Interactive Space

Vishalla - The site which I chose for the project. This place has a utensil museum as well as a resturant which serves traditional Gujarati cuisine. The place has a very rural look and greenery all around.
Model of Vishalla resturant area made in 1:50 scale.

The interactive screen made for shadow puppetry as well as hand shadow puppetry. The space will have 3 such screens, one in this scale and two smaller one. The bigger one will be used by the puppetier and the smaller one can be used by kids at the ame time for their own entertainment or if they want to learn the craft. 
 
Structure - A teflon coated antidust and anti stain polyester will be used as screen stretched over a wooden framework having very simple structure. The screen will also have melamine sprayed over it to make it water proof as well as a fire retardent spray for safety because the place will use lantern light for the puppetry. 
 
The actual size will be 6ft X 9ft.

Details of the structure.
Look of the interactive screen during shadow puppet show.
These screens are the information screen for the kids who would like to try the hand puppetry may or may not know the simple hand gestures which is used to cast interesting hand shadows.
So these screens which is actually screen printed hand gestures panel will guide the kids about the gestures.
These are of 3ft X 1.6 ft having a wooden frame. 
Info Screen
 
These lit coloums are made to enhance the light in the space also to attaract the visitors to this new performance area.
This tripodal coloumn will have three different cutouts on all the three sides and a source of light at the centre of it. So there will be three different kind of shadows that will be casted on all the three sides. Also when somebody will stand near the coloumn there will be interesting shadow formed on the body.
The idea is to used the stamped metal waste to construct these tripodal panel. It can be placed in either tripodal way or in zig-zag manner depending upon the crowd.
This panel will be of 2ft x 3ft.
