You can’t judge a book by its cover. This is why the boxes in the structure should be all of similar appearances; in this way you may not know what you are expecting and what surprises it may bring to you. Exploration takes time. The function of these boxes includes: storage shelves, movable cubes, light boxes to introduce light into interior as it would be covered up entirely, mirrors and “books” whereby it functions the same way as a book by indicating what the content of it just by its spine, I would use 10mm thick transparent acrylic for wordings and images. The users are in a sea of boxes, like in a library where one is surrounded by books. For the materials of the prototype, I would use plywood for the main structure, doubling the thickness of it, thinner ones for the boxes as to be light enough for the skeleton to support, all these would be held together with heavy duty metal brackets. However, the main structure of the vertical supports seems to be a little too thin, when it is all attached together it starts to warp. There should be an increase of brackets onto the base to be able to strengthen it.
