Number 44 for 114 in 2014: Cube
This is one of those seemingly simple games where you tip the pieces out of the box and 'just' put them back in!
A rare use for that 'Glowing edges' filter in Photoshop.
The Cube has 6 different colourful mosaics on its sides and combines a lot of the things that I love: Lego (obviously), geometric shapes, colours, mosaics and patterns and finally some logic and maths.

It was a very fun and satisfying build and it makes me so happy just looking at it.

This weeks project folded mainly while commuting. One layer is used for the connection, which is quite stable. Nonetheless I will probably glue it, to make handling safe an perhaps a hanging decoration out of it.

A former four inch cube of clay some microseconds into its eventual destruction.
This one was really violent. I had to spend an hour after this shot replacing nails with wood-screws because all the nails were either removed or loosened.
Lexan, though, is amazing stuff. The cube is sitting on an 1/8 inch thick piece and it came through unscathed.
Going to be a hot one today, so I am shooting in the morning.
Cheers.
An addendum : As I am working around the garage, chunks of drying clay are slowly raining down from the ceiling. Pretty funny.

Ahhh, the 80's.
Although the Rubix Cube was invented back in 1974 (the year I was born), it wasn't really until the 1980's that it went HUGE.
My older brother had one. Thankfully, it didn't melt.
Another band who were quite big in the 1980's in the UK, were "Madness", who were a English ska/pop band.
Thought their song, "House of Fun" was an appropriate song/video to accompany my melting rubix.
Listen/Watch Madness: House of Fun
The video always reminds me of Monty Python.
More about the song/band here.

Based on a 7 × 7 grid, which I folded by using a 5 cm sheet as a template. The method in the book relies on pleating the paper in 3:3:1 in one go ... however one can do that decently precise is a mystery I have yet to solve.
Edit: Replace photo by a better one.
Made with processing.

"Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest.
The houses in Rotterdam were designed in 1977 in a plan of 55, of which 39 were built.
The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak Subway Station. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
As residents are disturbed so often by curious passers-by, one owner decided to open a "show cube", which is furnished as a normal house, and is making a living out of offering tours to visitors.
The walls and windows are angled at 54.7 degrees. The total area of the apartment is around 100 square meters, but around a quarter of the space is unusable because of the walls that are under the angled ceilings.
In 2006, a museum of chess pieces was opened under the houses.
In 2009, the larger cubes were converted by Personal Architecture into a hostel run by Dutch hostel chain Stayokay."
