Initially, the group were building an arch made of spaghetti. The spaghetti however wasn’t strong enough and the supports kept collapsing.
They then decided to start again and took their inspiration from the Hulme Arch Bridge. Something they spotted outside the lab window!
After abandoning the spaghetti, they switched to cannelloni to use as supports as it was lighter and stronger. They continued to use spaghetti as suspension cable and included a wider base for better balance.
