Today we assembled a two meter length of our 9-crate-long sheet, to test how it would respond to being stressed. We were pleased with the shape it took, which was also comfortable to lie in. However, the shape was not as strong as we had hoped. We believe that it can be strengthened by adding another curve in the middle of the structure, and this is what we intend to try next.
The form which the crates took has also led us to reconsider how our final structure will look. We discussed creating three distinct pods and connecting them centrally. Continued experimentation in the coming days will hopefully help us decide what to do.
