project summary

Completing this chair project has made me realize several things.  First when we started exercise 1 I thought that there was no way of building a chair out of that little cardboard and not being able to use anything to attach the piece, let alone cut any pieces out.  But then I learned that with the right design everything is possible.  You just need to learn how to manipulate the material you have to get what you want.  The cardboard also gave everyone a lesson on craft because you had to make really clean cuts to make your edges looks good because the cardboard would mess up and look bad if you didn’t.  Also it helps me get a better idea of how strong things can be, especially if you use them the right way, like if you put the cardboard going the right way.  I enjoyed the project the most when we were actually building our chairs, I only wish that I could of made it however I wanted and not had to explain myself with a relation to the duality thing.  I did not really enjoy that part.
