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.

    Thanks Scott, I assume you have red/cyan glasses? It’s probably better when viewd large, as RB introduces some ghosting when smaller.

    I don’t have 3D glasses :( But this is still cool even without them :D

    Thanks Shelly, you really need the 3D glasses (bmail!) :-)

    This is an amazing structure, I just wonder if it will hold up to the weather. Excellent 3D perspective.

    Thanks JP! Actually “Paper Tower” is a bit of a misnomer… Inside the carton tubes there are steel braces which are then bolted together. It’s pretty solid!
