On Tuesday 21st March, approximately 30 members from the IStructE YMG & ICE GS Midlands participated in the annual Make & Break competition hosted at the University of Birmingham’s Civil & Mechanical Engineering Building.
The brief was to create a stadium venue for a rock concert which would support a hanging stage that could only be supported by the supplied foundation base. Teams had 15 minutes for planning and 60 minutes for construction where they were judged on the breaking load, sellotape used, inventiveness, truth to their sketches and plans and aesthetics.
Teams were mixed into students and graduates. The Teepee of Doom team claimed first prize winning Lego Architecture kits!
