Group 1- Umbrella Ra m
Concept: When a normal umbrella opens, it disconnects us with nature, by blocking the sun, wind and rain. Group1’s umbrella will reverse the traditional role of a umbrella, by opening the umbrella, it will allow us to reconnect with nature and when closing it, it will create shadows on the users bodies that informs them of the particular health propoerties of sunlight. Function: Solar Shading,health shadow body projection, encourage more people to use the courtyard. How it Protects Nature: Group 1's umbrella protects nature by two different ways. firstly the umbrella is fabricated with fully bio-degradable natural materials that are environmentally friendly to the planet, and secondly, by making us more aware of the health benefits of sunlight, we will be more positive about nature and be more aware of the damages we are doing to nature.
