• The base was well fortified to prevent reasonable tipping over
• The middle structure was constructed using two cards that had slits within them to help with efficiency and structural integrity at each floor.
• This helped to minimise the amount of cards needed and get height.
• However what we found in the end was that it was too weak and when it went through the wind simulation, it was easily blown down.
• What was needed for this model was additional bracing through the use of string connecting the height points to the base
• The base and its connection to the tower could have been improved also.
• If the interior was developed more, the possibility of the tipping can be reduced
• The slits connection was efficient yet meant the whole structure was modular and so resistance would be compromised.
• In designing a tower, it should start with high surface area on the bottom and gradually reduce surface area towards the top.
