3DD-Making a object that hold's human wieght (seat)

For this challenge I was asked to create a object that would hold up the wieght of a human for atleast 30 seconds. This task involved me only using four sheets of cards and masking tape. To do this i paired up with a friend and the firth thing we decided to do is sketch different structures; to get the idea of the different shapes, structures and forms that we would need to create in order to make this object. We realised that we had to focus on a systamatic stuctuture for the inside of the seat, in order for it to hold up a person. Next thern started to measure and cut the card. To do this we folded the card and let it take its own shape, which turnt out as a hexagon. From there we knew that we would have to measure each and every piece of card that we cut. All  the pieces os card had to be 30cm high. Afteer doing this we put the first to pieces of card as a cross shaped a put a slit in the middle of them so that they where both attached to one another. From there we decided to add four more pieces of card that was the same size, to fit in the hexagon base; this was the base structure that we relied on to hold up the person. Finally we cut out a top for the person to sit on.
