A wide range of sensory encounters
The project at Glasgow Science Centre was driven by the client's desire to make the outdoor area more exciting. After attending Timberplay Scotland seminars and visiting Richter Spielgeräte GmbH in Germany, Glasgow Science Centre equipped the project with a range of interesting sensory 'exhibits' in the space. The elements, including a spinning stone, a stone xylophone, a dancing chime, conferences, a walk-through kaleidoscope, rotating disks, a ring-sound disk, a water vortex and sound sheets, have been carefully selected to provide visitors and passers-by with a wide range of sensory encounters.
By interacting with the devices, visitors can playfully create music, experience visual phenomena and explore the physics of water and rotation. Carefully considered interpretations for each exhibit help visitors to deepen their understanding of the individual objects.
