This week we chose which structure we would like to model. After watching the presentation, we decided that the Shukhov Tower would be a good structure to emulate. It was unique, plus we wanted to learn more about it after discovering that it was going to be demolished. It is not a bridge, but is an interestingly designed structure.

It would be challenging to make such a structure that is light in weight and tall. We plan to create a model that is lightweight too, to accurately imitate the real Shukhov Tower.
