Assignment 5: Reflection

Group Work:
Group dynamics challenged me the most. Working by myself I’m able to make my own schedule and change gears when a conflict comes up. Syncing up our group’s schedules and work habits forced everyone—especially me—to learn how to be effectively flexible.
Material:
We made the decision to use only wood. Our joinery varied in material but we challenged ourselves to create a uniform structure solely of birch and pine. Learning the limits and characteristics of these two wood types happened as we went along with the construction process. It would have been nice to know that birch ply likes to curl and pine splits within a 1/2in of not being reinforced (without fail).
Structural Integrity:

Shooting in the dark- I still don’t know what exactly is holding it up.
