Tensegrity-structure arch
Let’s try creating with the concept of weaving as the process! I’d like to introduce an idea for an arch using a tensegrity structure.
A tensegrity structure appears to refer to a pin-jointed system composed of compression members that do not touch each other and continuous tension members under tension.
In the video, a gate designed around the themes of connections between people and with the environment is presented.
From design to fabrication, you can also sense the warmth of not only the students but the many people who collaborate and lend their support.
Neuschwanstein Castle
A level of realism that feels like you’re actually traveling! Here are ideas for Neuschwanstein Castle.
Neuschwanstein Castle is a very beautiful castle located in Bavaria, in southern Germany.
Its white, gleaming walls become even more stunning when lit by the sun.
The tall, towering chimneys are also one of its distinctive features.
Aim for a quality that makes visitors to your school festival feel as if they’re sightseeing, and give it a try!
Mist Arch
Create a fantastical atmosphere! Here are some ideas for a mist arch.
Mist paired with colorful lighting can produce a breathtakingly beautiful space.
It would likely become a popular cool-down spot on hot days, too! It’s a great fit for rest booths or any area where you want people to relax.
You can craft a special space that soothes visitors.
How about setting up a memorable mist arch for your school festival, a truly important event?
Otemon Gate of Miyazu Castle
Let’s create something while tracing back through Japan’s history! Here are some ideas for the main gate (Otemon) of Miyazu Castle.
The Miyazu Castle Otemon is said to have been located in Tsuruga, Miyazu City, Kyoto Prefecture.
How about recreating this historic main gate as the entrance to your school festival? In the video, a wooden bridge and signboards are installed.
Near the recreated gate, it would be good to place boards written by the students who made it, explaining its origins and history, and why they decided to build it.
A stylish sign made with alphabet objets from the 100-yen shop
An easy way to create a stylish, good-sense look is with a chic sign that uses alphabet ornaments from a 100-yen shop.
Cut wood to make the frame that forms the base of the sign, then arrange a message using alphabet letters painted in your favorite colors.
With some creativity in letter placement and color combinations, you can shift the impression from natural to pop.
Hang the frame on the wall with a string, and it becomes a refined decoration that seems to float in the space.
It’s easy to set up both indoors and outdoors, takes little time to prepare, and lets you make a highly polished sign—an idea we highly recommend.
SDGs sign made from 100% scrap materials
SDGs signs made entirely from scrap materials let you balance environmental consideration with individuality.
By using discarded wood, cutting out letters, spray-painting the pieces, and attaching them to a board, you can create a design that combines warmth and impact.
Highlighting the texture of the wood produces a natural atmosphere that conveys kindness and reassurance to customers.
By being selective about the materials from the start, you’ll create a one-of-a-kind piece with a strong presence that will leave a lasting impression on visitors.
