Paper Tower II
Paper Tower, by Shigeru Ban with Sonoco (London Design Festival)
Japanese architect and designer Shigeru Ban has worked with cardboard manufacturer Sonoco to create a 22m high tower, constructed from hundreds of compressed cardboard tubes. In the most skillful of hands a material used to create the humble box becomes something quite extraordinary.
I came across this outside the Royal Festival Hall in London (UK). You can see the full structure here, but I was more interested in the paterns created when I was inside the sculpture.

Really liking the angle here, super work :o)

Thanks Mark, I like the fact that it’s a bit of a spiral, but then it isn’t! And it curves, but with straight lines only… :-)
