5. tasks: (Put up a sign-up sheet!)
Group 1: get the reeds (as soon as possible; calculate how many you need, and bring more, and cut them as long as possible!)
Group 2: adapt the floor plates from the round Gherkin plates
Group 3: build the 10 story high column/beam structure supporting the tower
Group 4: build the façade of the ‘old building’ using foam core, wood(?)
Group 5 : Modify the foam floor spacers to the right floor height (13.2 ft)
Group ‘all’: construct the building using elastic bands, paper clips and the floor plates and reeds; erect the old façade around the tower at ground level.
When done: party!
