Here we have, for the first time, applied our process of building minimal structures to architecture. The wood is only 5mm thick, and the entire set would fit inside a suitcase, yet it produces a remarkably strong and stable structure. It is intended as a gazebo and we have developed a waterproof covering for it. The dome is built in six sections which can be taken apart for easy transport. A timber floor, made from the same material, can also be supplied, and a fabric cover is under development.
