Initial ideas for the box with one open end...dovetail joints were an intitial possibility. This sketch shows some of the process of where I started at.
The sketchbook doodle that emulates my final model.
Our assignment for my environmental design class was to suspend a bristol board cube (with one open end) four inches above an 8x8 base, using joinery for both aspects. After experimenting with a dovetail joint of sorts before actually constructing the box I realized that bristol board is a bit too thin of a material to join the edges together. I was inspired by a box that had no gradual change in the inflated box joint that you can see on my final model's edges. I thought that bringing varying sizes of straws in a repeated pattern that gradually got smaller for the cube's support would tie the two objects together in an example to joinery.
Very nice pictures of your objects. Don't for get to include process sketches and models. Seeing them will help us to grade your work.
