Summary:

A glance at the multiplicity of suggestions to be found on this toy's design sheets renders it all the more impressive when one considers its components: four pure white pieces, all of a uniform size and configuration. Deceptively simple in appearance, the four U-shaped elements can be arranged in unexpected ways to express divers features of modern architecture and design.
