3DCP : Practical structure building
Prior to creating any building its important to consider the basic factors such as the design,budget and quality attributes . Evaluating the needs and goals of the construction is also vital before committing to a particular material ;with each one having pros and cons. For our project we were given 20 pieces of spaghetti to create a practical structure building using the conventional supporting techniques and principles, which would eventually hold 3 plastic juggling balls.
Advantages of spaghetti constructions over conventional constructions is the renewable nature of spaghetti, cost and easy availability. However, it quickly became obvious that spaghetti was easily breakable therefore I had to work effectively and had to adapt to solve unexpected works.
Ensuring that the measurements of the spaghetti were equal and fitting according to size of the plastic balls was important, as this enabled them to be held upright rather than falling through or off my structure.
Overall,it was an enjoyable learning process and it became obvious that there was no right or wrong answer, as everyone created unique and unexpected outcome.
