If you want to completely appreciate aztec constuction by ~thegherkin, you must watch this video. It's amazing where we can reach with team work. Look to all the details and the lighting design. It is an outstanding scenario from Theatre Design Gallery. I recommend you to watch the video again! (Featured by ^NunoDias)

Looks fantastic! This shot in particular
I want to know more about it, both the how and the why

ah thankyou :) we basically had to create an aztec themed installation for our black studio at uni using nothing but corrigated card and brown paper...and masking tape...and light. we wer'nt allowed to use paint...except we did cheat a bit on that one for the floor because we used paint and sand. we created a lot of the stuctures by simply rolling the paper from corner to corner really really tightly so that there is hardly any gap in the middle....this makes for a really strong stick of paper...but it takes quite a lot of practise to get the hang of keeping it tight....and then we built out bulks with scruched paper....made boxes and wrapped them, paper mashed things like the skulls and the figure... its being left open for people to wonder through for 2 weeks and then its being ripped down...altho apparently it has been requested that some parts of it be saved and moved as a more perminant exhibition in a different part of uni...altho in all honesty i dnt think this will be a very easy task.
