Made from cardboard tubes, the Paper Tower by Shigeru Ban is articulated by metal joints, a system similar in design to the system used by Ban in his construction of a bridge, boathouse and various pavilions around the world. This 22m structure has been commissioned as part of Size + Matter, a London Design Festival initiative in which this year also features a metal sculpture by Marc Newson, also located beside the Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank. The aims of this project are to challenge the perception of the everyday materials used, by creating dramatic temporary installations outside the Festival Hall which will be on display from 19 September, the opening date of the Festival, until mid October.
