It’s always inspiring to hear from our various ‘I’ve got an Idea Fund’ projects on challenges they have faced and progress they are making in developing and testing their very different technical ideas. Turning ideas into reality is never straightforward! This past week, I’ve heard of encouraging steps forward from the melodica sound project in Ireland, the collagen fish waste extraction for contact lenses in London and lastly the geometric inspired collapsible accommodation on the Isle of Arran in Scotland. Alistair on Arran has now got a set of 1/10th scale architectural style models showing the frameworks relative to lifesize – the collapsed structure being towed by a bike and then the stages of unfolding to the final size.
