wood?

 ok, so we are going to need drift wood.

LOTS of wood

 road trip to walk on beaches?

hell no.

just look at satallite maps...

(oh, that would have been nice)

this is all near taranaki but other areas may be good too.

hear there are some good beaches near welly too!

waiongana stream - brixton

possible? trouble with finding road to beach unless we all get wet feet.

waitara river - waitara
massive loads of wood long sand beach

onaero river - onaero
easy access limited wood

urenui river - urenui - wow good one - pic
huge beach, lots of wood, really good access, like realy realy good access.

Mimi river
medium for wood spread out, no public access but open looking farm land.

next step is contact the right people in these areas to see if we can collect driftwood on their beaches?

ideas?

finished marquette

construction series

This is a quick marquette I made so I could get a feeling for what this would really look like in 3d. It also helped me get my head around how one would go about building it in the real world. Essentially one starts with a large well reinforced archway and then runs outwards from that building shorter and shorter arches. These would then be linked with a skin of lateral lengths of driftwood. As the wall is curving it is inherently quite rigid but I would not want to get too cocky about this until a larger drift wood marquette has been tried.
