Poll: What Details of the design do you think needs to be improved?

• "Let's just build it - there is no time to change the design"

• "The arms, there is a lot of work to do"

• "Really like the design, it shouldn't be changed"

• "The bells - the friction would wear the cord and the cords might get tangled as they all come out of the same point"

• "The density of the bell - trying to use smaller pieces and save material"

• "The arms - the connection between the bell and the arms"

• "The arms need to be more streamlined and might just not work"

• "Thinking about the seat and possibly replacing the layers with one support and possibility of veneers to save material"

• "Making smaller parts for tessellation on the sheets to save material"

• "Foundations - damp proofing so there is no rotting and the construction can be used after"

Funding Update:

The main funding group have sub-catergorized themselves into six groups. One group is currently looking into receiving sponsorships off local architects and smaller architectural companies.

Another of the groups is spending their time researching music shops and other instrumental companies to enquire upon the musical element within the pavilion.

The "Eco lovers" group are in communication with environmentally friendly companies and recyclable materials groups who may be able to help us with gathering materials and advice on how to use the materials after disassembly.

Fixtures and fittings are being researched by another group, discovering where we could possibly find a supplier for the insert nuts and bolts needed for our pavilion.

'Marketing and advertising' are creating brand awareness through advertisement in magazines, newspapers and posters around Manchester.

The 'Wood' group are looking into other options for the main material of the pavilion, due to the price of marine plywood. The other options are other timbers or plain ply sheets. Currently on the phone to Travis Perkins and other Manchester timber suppliers.

To start the construction process a donation of £10 has been made by every single member of the Super Group.

Documentation:

The Documentation group has split into much smaller sub-groups who are then following the main groups around and documenting their every move - including written, photographic and video media.

The use of Social Media to make people aware of the project has lead to the creation of a Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Blogspot accounts.
