Seating in Context Project Summary

I must say that after finishing this project, I may never want to see cardboard ever again. However, despite my hate for cardboard, I was pleased with my outcome of this project. It was definitely challenging to figure out how to support your own weight and not use tape or anything of the sort. At first the idea of accomplishing a supportable chair was really overwhelming and stressful. If we were to do this project again, I would have gotten started sooner. I should have started playing with cardboard right after it was assigned. I figured out what I wanted to do through my hands-on experimentation. I sat around and thought about ideas for too long and that really held me back and put me behind. Once I figured out how the cardboard could support me, I then could figure out a plan for execution and then everything seemed to fall into place. The project became a lot less stressful and a lot more enjoyable. I learned a lot about cardboard, that is for sure. How it folds, cuts, tears, bends, rips, and ultimately, paper-cuts. Even through the battle wounds, I enjoyed this project and I am very pleased with my "anchored" chair.
