I definitely agree with Danger here. My group held the record in our class and we used triangular beams. The only difficult thing about this is the base, since you need to conserve as much paper as possible.

Re: Tall paper tower?

if you're allowed unlimited tape, cut the paper into thin strips, wrap each strip with tape a few times to add stability, and then go cube base, then a pyramid on top, then a series of pyramids on top of that pyramid each with progressively smaller bases.
