A panel and a system for use in building a lightweight structure are provided. The panel, made of a film or a sheet capable of being curved or bent with fingers, includes a body in a geometric shape circumscribed by straight or curved edges, and at least one joint formation along the edge for panel connection. The joint formation has tabs separated by at least one gap. Each tab expands bilaterally and proximally from the body at its base, and each gap is positioned along the edge so as to accept the base of the tab. The joint formations along the edges of varied curvatures are alignedly, hingedly, and detachably interlocked with each other by twisting the panels with fingers to individually hook the tab at the gap. The panels are assembled into geometric structures having flat or curved faces.
A panel for use in building a geometric structure, made of a substantially planar and flexible material, namely, a film or a sheet having a thickness of from 0.10 to 0.75 mm and a weight per area of from 0.01 to 0.15 g/cm2 and capable of being curved and bent with human fingers, the panel comprising:
A system for use in building a two- or three-dimensional geometric structure, the system comprising at least one panel made of a substantially planar and flexible material, namely, a film or a sheet capable of being curved and bent with human fingers, the panel comprising:
