Wall from units



I had the arch on display at the OSN 1992 convention.  Half a year later I

talked to a friend and said: "I'll never build a thing like that on my own

again.  But it would we nice to do something like that with a group".  She

replied: "Next year we have our 10 th anniversary, can't we do something on

that ossasion?".  Someone else joined us and got enthusiastic also.  So I had

to make a design. 



I adapted the units used for the arch so that all vertical units got square

fronts.  And the filling (wall) units became rectangles of 1:2.  So all units

are folded from different sizes of paper.  Some of the units are colored. 

And some of the rectangles are even half in color and half white.  So I could

design a mosaic on the wall.  That was the swan logo of the OSN including the

letters OSN. 



The wall is built from about 2200 units.  It stands free in the air (only

paper!) and is about 2 meter high and 2 meter wide (7 x 7 foot).  The units

were folded by about 380 people at the weekend convention of the OSN

inLunteren (Holland) in April 1993. 





You may see a picture of it on wall.gif featuring also myself.
