Construction Process:
In order to create a tower that had reasonable height and was structurally sound, we decided to waffle the cards. Interlocking them would stabilise the tower when enduring the "blow test". Consideration towards the tower possibly toppling over was combated by having a base and as the tower of cards grew taller, the structure grew thinner.
Observations:
During the blow test the tower was successful due to the wider base and thinner tower. The base allowed for wind forces to push the body of the structure and still stay standing.
Dimensions:
Height: 450mm
Base dimensions: 150mm x 150mm
Connection details: Waffling/ slits
Height/Width of Base:
450/150 = 3
