Second Day Reflections

Today, we managed to build and complete our water tower in 4 hours. We discussed the different designs and possibilities of the tower failing. After that, we actually came up with a plan but decided to change the whole design. After wasting half a bottle of glue, wood and peeling off dried glue from our fingers, our hard work paid off as our tower managed to come in second with the ability to withstand 51kg of weight. The activity that we did today was quite interesting as we were able to design and test out our ideas. The project has made me understand the difficulties that an architect has to undergo before being able to build those magnificent towers/buildings that we see today. They have to design a building that is not only able to withstand a specific amount weight-load while being able to ace the aesthetics part of the project.
