Fresh out of Fabric one saturday morning me and Chris stumbled on this beautiful structure by St. Paul's cathedral (Paternoster Square). It's simply an air vent by Heatherwick studio that was ingeniously derived from an A4 sheet of paper scaled up to this magnificent size. Each tower is constructed from 63 8mm steel identical isosceles triangles which due to their folded nature wholly support the structure itself. For me the beauty of this construction is the thought of the original A4 paper model being sat in Heatherwick studio, on a shelf. That I find fascinating, something of this scale being conceived in the way it has been, the beauty of folder paper.
