Abstract:
A building system comprising:a first group of generally triangular shaped plates, each plate having first and second opposite facing surfaces, a first edge folded-over toward the first surface and two second edges folded-over toward the second surface, wherein the first and second folded-over edges define first and second channels, respectively; wherein each given plate in the first group is configured to connect with any other plate in the first group by interlocking a second folded-over edge of the given plate with a second folded-over edge of the other plate such that a portion of the second folded-over edge of the given plate is received in the channel defined by the second folded-over edge of the other plate, and a portion of the second folded-over edge of the other plate is received in the channel defined by the second folded-over edge of the given plate; and wherein the first and second channels are dimensioned to provide a friction fit between the folded-over edge of the plates upon receipt of the folded-over edges within the channels.
