Made by Benjamin Rollins Caldwell. Building Composite Structures with Cardboard Or... How to build arbitrary structures cheaply, using corrugated cardboard, hot glue, and a few simple fiberglassing techniques © 1991, 2004 by Steven K. Roberts Nomadic Research Labs Have you ever wanted to build a custom enclosure, oddly shaped structure, waterproof canopy, camper shell, or special box -- only to be frustrated by the cost and effort involved in fabrication? This is the mode I was in back in 1990 when designing BEHEMOTH's trailer (or WASU, for Wheeled Auxiliary Storage Unit). I described the whole problem to David Berkstresser one evening. "Build it with cardboard," Dave told me, taking a sip of beer. "No, seriously," I replied. "I am serious," he insisted. The elegance of his suggestion was instantly obvious. And garden-variety corrugated cardboard is a close analogue! Needing a name for this wonderful discovery, Dave and I puzzled for a while and finally came up with CSPC... or Cellulose-core, Silicon-matrix, Polyester-filled Composite. Cardboard Construction
Postage Stamp Bowl - by Amanda Hone from Repurposed art exhibit Postage stamps - I love them. In the UK, we have two different types of stamp in general use. Commemoratives which are issued every other month or so and as their name suggests are used to commemorate important events and anniversaries and Definitives. These stamps are the regular every-day stamps issued in a variety of different values so that any combination of postage can be made up from them. They are also known as Machin stamps after the artist who originally designed the queen's side view portrait used on them. Since they first appeared they have been issued in a huge variety of colours and I have always been very attracted to them for use in mosaics and papier mache.

Cardboard Columns (French) Heyyyyyyyy ! Je suis toujours là sisi !:-) Bizarrement c’est à la veille de mon déménagement que je trouve enfin 5 minutes pour animer un peu ce blog :-)(Le calme avant la tempête sans doute… ) Je viens de découvrir le travail incroyable de Michael Hansmeyer avec son projet qui s’appelle: Subdivided Columns. Visez un peu ces colonnes ! Crédits : Michael Hansmayer Présentées en 2011 à la Gwangju Design Biennale. Crédits :Michael Hansmayer Le travail visait à créer des formes complexes à partir d’un procédé de subdivision calculé par ordinateur… Je suis peut-être un peu simpliste ou trop synthétique par rapport à l’explication donné sur le site de l’auteur. C’est quand même fou cette multiplicité de formes et de détails …Vive la découpe au laser dans ces cas là :-) Bon j’espère que vous allez bien ! Bonnes vacances!

Beautiful Examples Of Cardboard Architecture : Ecofriend We all know (or at least should know) about of the subtle impact of Japanese tea ceremonies on the Japanese culture, and clearly alluding to this great tradition, eminent architect Shigeru Ban has contrived the Paper Tea House along with its furniture, composed entirely from recycled cardboard rectangular tubes. The spatial element also incorporates a main room and a waiting area (with a customary bench). What better way to market sustainable products than showcasing them in a sustainable environment? And that is exactly what designer Pedro Campos Costa has come up with in his interesting conception called the LOW, which is a combination of a store (used only for sale of recycled products) and a bar. The Cardboard House – modern architecture floor plan: Cardboard Sound Installation: Other than its fire retarding qualities, corrugated cardboard also has sound mitigation attributes.
