ABSTRACT:
A system of construction comprising a plurality of modules. The modules have a plurality of struts and pivots joining the struts so that they are moveable between a collapsed condition in which the struts are bundled in generally parallel relation and an expanded condition. In the expanded condition certain of the pivots define face pivots lying in a planar array at one side of the module. The modules are arranged such that pairs of the face pivots of adjacent modules are adjacent to each other. The adjacent face pivots are joined by removable connectors. The connectors join the modules to form a three dimensional structure and simultaneously define corner recesses. At least one panel is held in place by a plurality of the corner recesses.
