First Year Competition

Given a sheet of Bristol and a 1/2″ diameter dowel rod and a choice of one other material, all first year students had to “make a 3D construct no longer than 8″ in cubic volume” that demonstrated

• relationship of interior to exterior
• structure versus non-structure
• how materials connect

With a week to build each design, I started with test models that I thought represented the 3 main criteria.

The final model,  in the gallery below, uses sewing thread as the 3rd material to hold the Bristol in place on the dowel.
