Four embodiments are disclosed, one in which legs extend from the central triangle portion, and two embodiments in which a six-sided sheet forms the basic building element. In the fourth embodiment, a basic building element is disclosed which embodies a plurality of portions corresponding to the six-sided forms in a single element.
