Post + Lintel Structure and Challenge
The document provides instructions for a buildfest challenge to create a sturdy seating structure using lumber and ratchet straps by applying basic structural principles such as post and lintel and span and support. It also discusses 18th century architectural philosopher Marc-Antoine Laugier's "Primitive Hut" theory that classical columns should be free-standing rather than embedded in walls and should not be placed on pedestals.
