Megamurmelbahn Workshop
Album

In the Megamurmelbahn Workshop we used a greenhouse frame as a basic structure to build a large, collaborative marble run. / CC BY Kati Hyyppä & Tristan Biere

As the workshop took place at Theater an der Parkaue's open day, we made also a proper sign for the workshop. / CC BY Kati Hyyppä & Tristan Biere

Pipes of various shapes, sizes and textures were the main material for the marble tracks. / CC BY Kati Hyyppä & Tristan Biere

Here's a selection of the available balls: glass marbles, steel balls and plasticky balls. The salad bowl is a landing area for the balls. / CC BY Kati Hyyppä & Tristan Biere

We also made some landing areas outside the greenhouse for extended trajectories. / CC BY Kati Hyyppä & Tristan Biere

Building tracks on the lower level. / CC BY Kati Hyyppä & Tristan Biere

Higher-level building. / CC BY Kati Hyyppä & Tristan Biere

Loads of strong tape, tie-wraps and cord were used for keeping the structures in place. / CC BY Kati Hyyppä & Tristan Biere

There were several entry points for the balls. / CC BY Kati Hyyppä & Tristan Biere

Some entry points were labelled with the desired ball type in order to avoid blockages. / CC BY Kati Hyyppä & Tristan Biere

There was even a small cable car for transporting marbles up. / CC BY Kati Hyyppä & Tristan Biere

Catching the marbles. / CC BY Kati Hyyppä & Tristan Biere

It was crowded at times... / CC BY Kati Hyyppä & Tristan Biere

The final creation, which we admired for a little while before dismantling. The parts can be recycled for a new marble run! / CC BY Kati Hyyppä & Tristan Biere
