This project lends a whole new meaning to the term “community building.” Up to 100 members of the school community come together to build, photograph, and eventually dismantle improvisational 3D structures produced with low-cost recycled materials. This group exercise in project creativity, collaboration, and compromise incorporates geometry, spatial reasoning, design principles, and elements of engineering and architecture. The final result? A satisfying hybrid of folk art and contemporary environmental sculpture.
