In a traditionally reliable sign of approaching spring, teams of third-year students in Architectural Design Studio V were assigned the design and construction of functional chairs using up to 50 sheets of 4-by-5 double-wall corrugated cardboard. "This year, the students were challenged to use the least amount of cardboard possible," said Robert A. Wozniak Jr., associate professor of architecture. "And they were asked to try not to use steel or wooden dowels, as had been done in the recent past."
