3D Design Weekly Review

I really enjoy exploring 3D Design week. I think this was for a number of reasons. I enjoyed how hangs on we worked through out the whole week, I also liked how we where always trying to solve a problem, we where practially trying to think of a way to do something and also trying for it to look attractive. 3D Design exciting me from the begining as we began by drawing common and usual shape then try to create to turn them into something different, this lead me to be more creative when through out the rest of the week and think of shapes and space differently.
From this we had to build a structure that had to support a water bottle only from a few sheets of paper and tape. I wanted to take insperation from our visit to the surpentine gallery the week before. However my structure as not strong enough to support the bottle, i think this was because of the matirates I was using, although I tried to roll the paper up so that the tubes where strong they still where not strong enough. Learning from this when our next task came to up a structure we could sit on from four sheets of carboard. I knew I should think more carefully about I biuld my structure.
I decied to slot my sheet together as I through this would off the most support and is contributes the weight. I was happy that this worked however in a rush I slot the carboard in the opposite direction and this lead the chair to be crushed.
On the second day we had to build bridges. First of all we had to experiment with paper to create bridges, this was intresting to explore shapes and structure. From this we then had to build a real bridge between two tables strong enough fro a toy car to be driven across. It was fun to work as part of a team as we all came up with different ideas and this lead us to come up with something that worked well. We took insteration from a wooden string bridge and build a structure which was supported at ether side rather than through out.
Finally on the third day we had to build a structure which could support three plastic balls all at onces with out them touching each other from only 20 pieces of spaggetti and glue from a glue gun. This was really challenging as spaggeti is not very flexable and 20 pieces is not a lot. I also wanted it to look actractive and intresting. After this we had to protect our structure as best that we could. As my structure was quite small I decided to surond it with tubes taller than it take the weigh, I also decied to cussion it with scrunched bits of paper at the base.
