It is time for a new building toy. Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid have revolutionized architecture with curved forms. We need a toy to match.

The Description
Traditional building toys like Lego and K'NEX don't allow for the creation of highly-curved shapes. Many of the CAD programs used by architects and designers use triangulated irregular networks (TINs) to model curves. With the very simple hub and spoke approach proposed here it is possible to create a building toy that is also based on TINs and supports the creation of wonderfully curvaceous structures.
The Customer
The same customers who buy traditional outdated building toys like Lego and K'Nex.
Key Features
- It allows for the creation of structures similar to those made possible by modern computer aided design programs
- It also allows for the creation of artistic sculptural forms
