Circus Ring Kerb Segment (Travelling Circus and Big Top)
One eighth of the ring kerb: a 8 m diameter red kerb 300 mm high with a white capping, curved through 45 degrees. Eight of them attach end to end and close the circle.
Tent Stake (Travelling Circus and Big Top)
A 700 mm steel tent stake driven at a rake, with a burred head and the churned ground round it. Two dozen of them hold a big top down, and the same stake anchors rigging, fencing and a safety net.
Tent Guy Line and Tensioner (Travelling Circus and Big Top)
A guy line as stiff geometry: one straight 4 m rope from the wall head down to a raked steel stake, with a two block timber tensioner on it. Static by design, because a rope that hangs and stretches is not reachable with a rigid node transform.
Big Top King Pole (Travelling Circus and Big Top)
A 4.6 m quarter pole: a timber mast on a spreader plate with a cross head, a rigging ring for the roof lines and a gold cap. Four of them carry the cone between the centre pole and the sidewall, standing where the roof still has the height for them.
Big Top Scalloped Valance (Travelling Circus and Big Top)
A 4 m run of scalloped valance, five gold tongues under a red band with a white bob on each point. It hangs at the eave over a canvas bay, and fourteen runs skirt the whole tent.
Big Top Centre Pole (Travelling Circus and Big Top)
The 8.9 m king mast that carries the crown of the tent: a tapered timber pole on a steel spreader plate, two rigging rings and a gold ball with a pair of pennants over it. It stands in the middle of the ring.
Showground Ground Tile (Travelling Circus and Big Top)
A 4 m square of trodden showground, 6 mm thick, with four low humps rolled into it. Edge ports on all four sides tile a whole field without a seam.
Big Top Canvas Bay (Travelling Circus and Big Top)
A 4 x 3.4 m red and white sidewall bay with a laced batten on each edge and timber hem and head rails. Fourteen of them close a 17.5 m ring, edge ports landing on the polygon's own vertices.
Big Top Entrance Bay (Travelling Circus and Big Top)
The same sidewall bay with a 2 m doorway cut through it under a rolled canvas head on two timber jambs, for the one bay of the ring the crowd walks in through. Ports and height are unchanged, so it drops into any position in the ring.
Big Top Striped Roof Cone (Travelling Circus and Big Top)
The tent's roof: fourteen red and white gores rising 4.2 m to a gold crown ring, 18.6 m across the eaves so it oversails the sidewall. Set it on the wall head, over the centre pole; the gold crown ring caps the point where the fourteen gores meet.
Lotus pond pavilion (Imperial China Palace and Garden)
One corner of the pond on its own at working scale: four water modules inside their coping runs, the open pavilion on its stone piles with the tea table, the cushions and the zither on the deck, the arched stone bridge crossing to it, lotus clusters and floating lanterns on...
Walled palace courtyard and lotus garden (Imperial China Palace and Garden)
A complete walled palace court laid from 4 m paving on a 32 m square plot. The double eaved ceremonial hall stands on its stone terrace at the head of the court with a bronze cauldron on each side of the steps, the gate tower closes the south wall on the axis with a pair of...
Ceremonial Parasol (Imperial China Palace and Garden)
A tall processional parasol in a floor socket: a fringed lacquer canopy on a long pole with a bronze finial, 3.2 m overall.
Bronze Brazier Stand (Imperial China Palace and Garden)
A shallow bronze brazier on a three legged stand with a pierced rim, holding a bed of charcoal and a pair of tongs.
Ancestral Altar Table (Imperial China Palace and Garden)
A long altar table with upswept scroll ends, carrying a bronze censer, two candle stands and an offering plate of fruit.
Floor Cushion Set (Imperial China Palace and Garden)
Three square floor cushions with corded edges and tassels, in silk red, celadon and cream, laid out for a low table.
Scholars Writing Desk (Imperial China Palace and Garden)
A hardwood writing desk with a recessed top, a shallow drawer rail and cloud shaped spandrels, 1.4 m long at standing height for kneeling work.
Lacquer Storage Chest (Imperial China Palace and Garden)
A red lacquer chest on a stand with bronze corner plates, a hasp and carrying handles, and a lid that lifts on its back edge.
Bronze Bell On Frame (Imperial China Palace and Garden)
A cast bronze bell hung from a carved timber frame with a swinging beam beside it, and an invented band of raised bosses round the waist. The bell swings.
Ceremonial Drum On Stand (Imperial China Palace and Garden)
A large barrel drum in a carved timber cradle with bronze hoop studs and two beaters on a hook. The drum tilts in its cradle.
Polearm Weapon Rack (Imperial China Palace and Garden)
A hardwood rack of eight polearms: spears, halberds and a pair of broad bladed staves standing in a slotted base under a pierced top rail.
Training Dummy (Imperial China Palace and Garden)
A padded training post on a weighted timber cross base, with three striking arms and a bound straw torso. The post rocks on its spring foot.
Guardian Lion Pair (Imperial China Palace and Garden)
A pair of carved stone guardian lions on moulded plinths, one with a carved ball at its paws and one with a cub. An invented beast, not a copy of any existing carving.
Pennant Pair On Poles (Imperial China Palace and Garden)
Two short parade pennants in a shared timber stand, their triangular flags carried on cross arms with bronze finials.
