This project challenges campers to work in groups to create a cardboard lounge table device. Each team will be given multiple sheets of cardboard.
Before you make the finished device, each team will produce three 1/4-sized study models and one full-size connection detail.
By working through this process of design, the devices will be more thoughtful and coherent at the end of the project.
The cardboard lounge table device must support at least one person from the team as well as perform one other task determined by the group.
Architects use detail drawing as a means of communicating physical conditions. Detail drawing is also a tool for working out design decisions. Learning to use detail drawing is an important skill for any architect.

The instant environment puts you, your teammates, and your instructor against the rest of the camp in designing and constructing a life-size enclosure on a pre-selected site.
