Paper Tower

Instructions:1. Find an A-4 size (8”x11”) sheet of paper

2. Try and fail multiple times to build the tallest free-standing structure your creative mind can come up with

3. Share on our Social Media groups and/or discussion forums your best design

I will show my main attempts in next slides.

Attempt 1

The most obvious! The sheet was folded in its greater length and was placed against the floor.

Attempt 2

If you say that something is the highest, it is the highest in relation to something, then I can say that my structure is higher than towers of chess!

Attempt 3

I changed the referencial of my system and now the new vertical is the old horizontal and vice versa. So my brother is standing looking at the horizon beside this very high structure!

Thanks for the attention!
