radio waves during WWI On land, voice commands have always been used to direct operations. Radio became essential to communication in the trenches during WWI with the advancement in the ability to transfer a voice rather than code. Radio waves were first transmitted through the AM radio frequency in 1916.

design
based on radio-waves The symbol of radio waves and sound is perceived as a series of concentric waves, in this case, circles. This familiar form is translated into the design as set of layers, a series of messages in one structure. Very often communication had to occur very quickly on the battlefield in enclosed, sometimes claustrophobic spaces. The smaller section represents the beginnings of a communication in a tight space, then becoming the vocal widespread transferring of the message to the receiver.

the mount site
The site that was selected was the mount due to the views that it could provide toward the lake, the shape of it that can better accommodate the c-shaped design but also due to the fact that is a historic site. The visitor can sit and relax enjoying the wildlife around him while he learns about WWI.

fabrication manufacture
The main aim of the design fabrication was simplicity. The structure requires no bolts, screws, pegs or any other equipment apart from the CNC milling machine. The waffle structure can support itself using only one material; 1.2mm recycled sheets of timber.
