HuaHui House frames for cube, instructions

For detail instructions how to make a frame (6 frames for one cube) here:

One avatar raised the question, how will the cubes hold together? Wouldnt they collapse under their own weight?

Good question, the cubes will be hung onto a metal rod frame work. The volume of the Mobile HuaHui House has been determined but the structure itself is an interesting question.

I would like it to be flexible - tansegrity structure - the weight could be shifted to spread along the whole skin when pressure is applied to any point of the structure.

I also want the structure to be as thin, as light as possible.

This structural problem is very interesting to solve.

Just get the cubes in and i will post the chosen structure in due time.
