The struggle of the project was probably in the beginning
when we all had so many different opinions and ideas and just basically defining it into one solid idea
Yeah, you need to compromise a lot. Sometimes you might think that your ideas are getting lost.
We had to come up with one's for Team Kim and Team J, but when we all decided to meet up together
we wanted to combine it into one thing so it wasn't a separate floor piece and tomb piece, it was one that flowed together
so that's where we came up with this swoop and we wanted something that came along on the floor and
kind of made an upward motion up towards the tomb and then it kind of climbed up onto the catwalk
and descended down the column and back into the beginning of the swoop, so it was kind of a continuous motion.
How do you think we worked as a team? I think in the beginning we had struggles with like coming together
as a team but once we got like a cohesive idea and everyone understood what was going on
everyone got really excited for the project.

What was your favorite step of the process?
Probably right now, just seeing it get all built up and just seeing it all come together, it's really cool.
So from like seeing it from a starting model until like now it's awesome to see the difference.
I'm recording, say hello. Hi! What are you doing? I'm cutting slits. Excellent, looks good.
What are you doing? Doing to the same thing.
Overall, I think the templates were pretty successful.
(Music Playing)
What are you doing Comiskey? Making connections. Making connections, excellent!
How's it going Tohru? What are you doing? Cutting out pieces.
Are these the pieces that attach to the railing? Yes. Ok, just like templating and then cutting them out? Yeah.
I think that we came together really well with the assembly line. Doing assembly was awesome.
People were cutting, people were doing notches down in the woodshop. And I was gluing a lot of the time
and I know a lot of people were laminating, so I think that worked really well.

Tohru was actually I think the one who I think came up with the strongest connection. He's like the connections master.
But, for the stars it uses three different sheets, these small strips of cardboard and they're all the same length
and two of them are identical with two notches, or with one notch cut into them and there's a middle one with
there's a middle one with one notch and you kind of just slide all three of them together.
So you worked on the seating, can you explain that?
Basically, it's a lot of pieces of hexagons laminated together to create the seating.
It's about 16 inches off the floor and it can hold you standing and because they are also modular you can
put them together and make a bench.
(Music Playing)
If you could do one thing differently, what would it be?
Make the notches bigger.
(Music Playing)
Hi! Say hello. Are you coming to work on the project? Yes? How's it going for you so far? Great! I love this! Great!
(Music Playing)
(Cheering!)
(Music Playing)
Hey Carol. Hey.
(Singing)
Sensing some tension. There is no tension. What time is it? We are one team. One team!
Maddie, what time is it right now? It's 5 o'clock. In the morning.
Explain what we're doing. We don't know. We're playing.
And when is it due? Tomorrow. Laughter.
(Music Playing)
We have an estimate of about 50 on the floor place and about half for the tomb. After the first production we
had about 200 solid hexagons made and 125 of the boards made and 150 short hexagons made.
After we started the assembly of the hexagons we realized we needed 100 more short ones to finish.
(Music Playing)
To put them in, you take the star and you align where the arms come with the scores on the hexagon then you would slide it in there.
It helps to support it from the inside.
We created, or made blocks of corrugated cardboard to absorb the sound from the stairs so that the
corrugation would absorb it and then the side that faces the atrium
would reflect sound from critiques and stuff like that and then we chose to put some of the
blocks on that side as well just to create an aesthetic connection between the two sides.
What was your favorite part about this project?
Tohru. Working with Tohru was fun.
What was your favorite part about the project? Oh, did I just ask that? Yeah, yes you did. Laughter.
How it looks from the Cage Gallery. Like looking upward and when you're coming from the basement
stair and you're going up you kind of begin to see it.
It actually has to work with the acoustics of the building.
I think it is also interesting that we are using recycled materials.
We really wanted to connect the floor piece and the tomb piece together visually.
We practiced piecing them together until we had a smooth curve and they don't actually slide together,
they're just put together with sheer tension.
My favorite part is hanging out with all of our people.
It was fun to work with people. It was different.
What is your favorite part about this project?
We get to hang out with each other.
I have an idea. How about you do the questions before you turn on the video?
Anything else you guys would like to add?
If you could do one thing differently in the future what would it be? Have a boyfriend. Laughter.
And now it's recording. Yeah. Cool. I never figured that part out.
Tell us when. Now.
You can go. Laughter. Nailed it!
Ian? Not much.
Awesome. I love it. Awesome.
Did you like it? Was it fun?
Anything else you would like to add? Umm... Sorry I'm so awkward.
Stop, you're so annoying. James, get away.
We're gonna be in your group. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah, Chase?
West side, East side. Laughter.
Any other input? The East side is really a lot better than the West side.
