For most architecture students, a model malfunction won’t land you in the middle of a river, but one group of Buffalonian risk takers at the University of Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning, under the direction of Associate Professor Jean La Marche were up for the challenge. Students Troy Barnes, Stephen Olson, Scott Selin, and Adrian Solecki designed and installed half of a bridge—made of cardboard—cantilevered over the Buffalo River, and invited people to step out over the water. The frightening experiment worked, challenging conventional notions of material constraints.

小结构是由本地生产的纸板管建造的，并使用滚筒，皮带轮和绳索固定在现场上被废弃的轨道。该团队的发言人在一份声明中说，一条用于将结构定位为“借给整个操作的操作，适合现场的操作”的船上的支撑架。“当我们一个人坐在木筏上，一个人骑着绳子，两人被竭尽全力，一次将悬臂一次推出六英寸。四十五分钟后，结构掉落到位。”
