A tunnel for protecting pupils on school trips to a ceramics workshop
The video shows the arrival of a pupil who is immediately ushered into the tunnel which probably looks like a strange giant umbrella to kids.
The company Ceramiche Artistiche di Montanile Antonio of Brusciano (NA) organises educational workshops for schools, where pupils are taught how to work with ceramics, encouraging concentration, deliberativeness and precision as well as promoting free choice and creativity. The students arrive at the factory by coach and then have a long walk in order to reach the workshop. In order to give a warmer welcome to their young guests, the company Ceramiche Artistiche di Montanile Antonio of Brusciano asked us to supply them with a portable protective shelter. We therefore came up with a special tunnel which is 4m long, 2.2m wide and 2m high and is set on swivelling nylon wheels with brakes allowing the tunnel to be moved in all directions simply and effortlessly, due to the light weight of the material used to make the profiles - aluminium. The canopy is raised about 70cm off the ground, so that children feel in no way claustrophobic. In order to further facilitate moving the tunnel, two handles were inserted, one on each side, on both the front and back arches. The tunnel is decorated on both sides with the company logo.
