Toilet Paper Roll Challenge

Here it comes…the Toilet Paper Roll Challenge! After 3 weeks of collecting and crafting, your cardboard rolls collection is completed. Congratulations!

Thanks to the Japanese architect SHIGERU BAN, we discovered how cardboard can be used in architecture buildings and design objects. Are you ready to do the same?

Testing unexplored materials is an exciting phase in the architecture process! So, take your 20 ROLLS and do your best to build the highest possible tower. You can even join them to create more complex structures and shapes. How far can you push this material in your creations?

This is SHIGERU BAN.

In 2010, he realized the museum of modern and contemporary art,

Centre Pompidou-Metz.

He is an ARCHITECT.

WOOD is one of his favourite materials !

And he is from JAPAN.

Would it be possible to build the Centre Pompidou-Metz with PAPER ROLLS !?!
