Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, welcome to the Tcharan! Circus. A great science experience in the pavilion of science and technology, Centro Ciência Viva, in Lisbon. Children between 3 and 12 years old discover these experience in a park environment where a circus is settled. In these context are several of science phenomena to discover. Bruns, in cooperation with NorthernLight, has realized a lively and colourful exhibition. The exhibition consist of a various of exhibits and interactive elements, such as an exhibit ice-creams shooting, a life-size kaleidoscope, a gigantic mechanical ball machine with slide and a 3,5 meter high clown doll with moving arms to discover how high you can pull yourself up when you are sitting on his hands.
Bruns was in this design & build project the direct partner of Ciência Viva. NorthernLight has create, in a unique and very close cooperation with Bruns, a beautiful and very interactive design. Within a tight 7 months is everything designed, engineered, made and built on location. Our engineers and technical employees needed the total focus for these challenging exhibits.
There are several moving hobbling animals with sensor technology that register how fast you go and then pass the measurement to a path of LED strips via a control. Also there is a cube fully made of glass with balls that can be sent in all directions. Furthermore there is a very complex ballshootingmachine, a moving wheel of 5 meters high that spins around when you walk in a smaller rad and there are colourful sound making and smelling bulbs trees. After the completion of the total concept, we received the following response from our customer of Lisbon: “Our children and families from the environment and also a lot of tourists are already very enthusiastic.”
