This night's construction started with an idea that Sarah had for the first night and grew into a beautifully precarious piece that was mostly held together by chance (but again, cudos to all of you since chance was legitimately designed into the system).
We began be infilling a recessed, boarded-up, doorway with panels. The larger panels were used in this area to get a nice pressure-fit dimension that held the assembly snuggly into the doorway's arch. With that done as a stabilizing base, smaller panels grew into towers that linked suitcases on the ground with the doorway up above.
Matt was building a very tall tower, and when his reach gave out, Donovan climbed up a ladder to keep the momentum going. I think the plan was to pull the tower down into an arch (similar to some of the small towers seen in photos from this even), but when we moved it slightly, the tower seemed to slump. Luckily, instead of falling, it looked as though it positioned its shoulder against the wind and froze in a state that allowed its curved connections to place each panel in a state that counterbalanced all of the other panels. ... our own leaning tower (of Adelaide).
