Guess What This Building Is Made Of

Cardboard!

This building made entirely from cardboard boxes was designed by French artist Olivier Grossetete and is part of the Novum Summer Festival in Newcastle, Britain.

After the event ended, local folk are invited to assist the demolition.

After the structure is pulled down, locals are asked to trample and jump all over the boxes.

'This is an integral part of the project,' Olivier Grossetete says on his Web site. 'This symbolic moment is fun.'
