Prototypes of Prototype

 

1. What actions have you taken in order to figure out what your final design might be?

We really like the initial design of your mini model. We made the measurements and put together a list of materials that we think would be best for our building. We added more to our prototype by looking at other building designs that we liked.
2. Explain your design plan.

We are going to have the 16×16 base that is given to us. Then we are going to put a 10×10 for the building base. On top of that, we were thinking of putting some sort of sponge to help absorb the impact of the brick that is going on top and what would be the waves. Then we would put another 10×10 but with springs instead. After that, we would put another 10×10 but in a way that we would be able to start bracing. On top we were thinking of attaching a pole type thing so that the roof would collapse as easily.
3. What factors did you use to finalize your design?

The design isn’t finalized yet, but that is what Levi and I were thinking of in class today and trying to figure out the details for.
4. What challenges might you encounter? How will you solve these challenges?

The gluing process may be hard because we would need to glue the skewer type thing to a block of wood so it isn’t hanging. We will work our way around it and find other ways to make our building successful.
