Flat Pack "Origami"


This project leaves a lot to the imagination (e.g., how is it origami?), but it flat packs, touches on the ever-topical emergency relief housing, and takes on a "molecule" form that glows by night:

  1. Or, how does it flat pack? Unless you ship its waste material along with it as it is still in the original flat full sheets of ply, the most efficient way to bundle the pieces is exactly as it is shown here, but perhaps without the alternating insert layers. The inserts have a lot of potential in their placement and size for privacy, patterning, and structure, though they seem to be somewhat random here. What do others think?
