PAPER TOWER !

Today, a new lesson about the paper work.

THE PAPER TOWER

We have total 45 minutes to build a freestanding structure that is as tall as possible.

We don't have any helper such as tap, glue, bluetac, stickers and adhesive. Just using the paper given build up. The height of tower minimum hit at 1 meter high.

GROUP MEMBER MATCHING ARE RANDOMLY

Our group have 4 members and obtain 10 pics of magazine paper.

First, we simply discussed the structure we wanna build, and the method we want to use on it. We choose to fold then paper into triangle shape as our structure base.

Initial concept is from here
thin and tall

We were all believed that it can be a good stable base at the very start...

Soon, our believe was doesn't happened.

On the triangle base, is a roll of paper stacked together to reach a very height. Rolled paper were put into a hole which at the center of the base. But the taller the height of the structure, the lower the stability it has.

So, we added another 2 pics triangle paper on the base and still...

There was a limit. We got the problem on how to stack it more higher.

NOW - 92 CM

STILL 8 MORE CM TO GO

After a few time brainstorming in many kind of stacking and slotting but still never works. Then, I suggested to give up getting it high instead of stable the middle part of the structure.

Because there is no reason to rebuild our structure, it was already 92% nearly complete. ( I won't tell other because of lazy make us don't want to rebuild )

5 more pics we can use. I put 3 pics rolled paper into the interface make it fit, and add the rest paper into small roll ( like a straw ) stacked on the top of the structure.

Finally.

114 cm

completed

VERSION 2.0 , Respawn !!

STABILITY IS GOOD ENOUGH?

At least our structure still standing while our lecturer purposely poked it for testing its capability. Although we are not taking risk to touch it.

BE THE FIRST TEAM ACHIEVED

No any reward or something??

ANY THOUGHTS, FEEL, OR IMPRESSION??

Our structure is quite different with others...feeling weird or unique maybe?

LET'S SEE OTHERS TEAM'S STRUCTURE

THE EAST.

THEY REBUILD MANY TIMES "THE UNDEFEATABLE REGENERATE TOWER"
TURT

THE SOUTHEAST.

LIKE A PEACEFUL TOWER

THE SOUTH.

SIMILAR DESIGN WITH US!! LIKE A POTTED PLANT. IT CAN CALL
"THE JACK'S BEAN"

THE WEST.

MOST POWERFUL STRUCTURE! BEAUTIFUL~~

THE NORTH WEST.

ONE STRAIGHT TOWER

You might realized that MOST of them are on the table and are in the box shape.

Ours is most like in triangle shape...cool, and on the ground.

So, our structure named

"THE LEMON JUICE KING ON THE GROUND"2.0
