Princess Diana Memorial + Sunset
Tower Bridge via Southbank
I absolutely LOVED our walking tour today and seeing how my understanding of the map actually came to life while exploring the city. My favorite parts of today were seeing & crossing Tower Bridge which was so much more colorful than I thought. Tate modern was another favorite of mine today. Not only did we get to go on swings, but it was really cool to know the purpose of the swings- that the more people that combine effort, the more work gets done. Lastly, the Princess Diana memorial was stunning as well. I loved how the movement of water was used to depict her life.
I also loved the swings at Tate! The 1-2-3 effect really helped me appreciate the chance for community the designer created. Being in student life, it is often hard to bring students together for floor activities because they don’t see the fun in it. But this is something I could see being implemented on college campuses and work places. Google probably already has swings! Tate is a fabulous way to groundbreak these innovative pieces because of the expansive space it hosts. I only wish other places could recognize that advantage and do it too.
