The Packed Pavilion is a pavilion made entirely out of cardboard and tying straps that bears an uncanny resemblance to the Death Star.
The Packed Pavilion was built by three design students: Min‐Chieh Chen, Dominik Zausinger and Michele Leidi who set out to show how digital design could be used for architectural purposes. The students used CAAD (Computer Aided Architectural Design) to design the 409 cylinders that make up the Packed Pavilion. Check it out above before it becomes operational and starts destroying planets. Watch your back, Alderaan.
