Chair Charette
After some convincing from my architecture studio instructor, I found myself in a creative adventure with two random students: a chair-making competition, but with a twist—it was all about cardboard and in only 24 hours. As we tossed ideas back and forth, my chair design—simple yet sturdy—won the group's vote. We buckled down, surrounded by piles of cardboard, and in a creative frenzy, crafted a chair that was not just functional but also a bit of a masterpiece.
