FROM ACTION TO DISCOVERY
How the interaction works
Release the shower
Water arrives through the mast and falls beneath its rounded canopy.
Compare the two
Activate the second cloud and follow where both showers land.
A CLOSER LOOK
Perspective render
Explore the arrangement of two rounded rain canopies on stainless masts with independent push-button controls.
LEARNING THROUGH PLAY
What visitors can discover
This concept brings rainfall, cause and effect and comparison into a shared water-table setting. Visitors can explore the idea at their own pace and compare what they notice with a partner.
Cause and effect
Each control has a clear, visible response.
Comparing systems
Independent clouds let visitors identify which button supplies which shower.
Water collection
Falling streams collect in the receiving table below.
PART OF A BIGGER WATER TABLE
Planning Rain Canopies
Keep the buttons close to the rim while positioning the canopies over a receiving basin. Develop spray distribution and drainage to suit the splash zone.
The arrangement can be developed for a museum, science centre or play space as part of a custom water table. Final dimensions, materials and operating performance are established during design and engineering.
