P O T E N T I A L D E S I G N F E AT U R E S : PIPE
Varying levels of wind could produce harmonious sounds with differing width of the pipe structures FORM
The twisting structure gives depth and volume to the overall experience for the user COLOUR
A dark space to emphasise the idea of a space which can bring the user to another world where they can contemplate and reflect
