And surprisingly (though I find this beautiful), not even on beauty. A huge part of the value is what is called in the auction and art sale business "aura" - I am not kidding. It is only called that because the art world can't bring itself to say, "brand". Shigeru Ban is an awesome architect, and his projects that can be possessed will fetch a premium, so analyses like, "it won't even go outside" are as well considered as "mine goes to eleven". That said, I LOVE this...anyone know where I can get the paper square tubes? Not to proud to knock-off as I do not have 20-30k pounds laying about my bricks and mortar house!

And as a peice of art it's OK. Just not original though, so I don't understand the hubbub. It's just a giant paper model. That idea/hobby has been around for centuries.
