Installation at Royal Festival Hall by Shigeru Ban.
HINT: structural strength of weak materials.
"Japanese architect and designer Shigeru Ban has been working with cardboard manufacturer Sonoco to create a 22m-high cone-shaped structure out of compressed cardboard tubing. As many of Ban´s previous projects have proven, cardboard has a structural strength and this installation shows what can be achieved. It is possible to stand inside and look out up through the structure."*
