Not many floors can support such a weight. Nor can many indoor cranes lift it.<br \/>\nThe object is a 4 metre cube. Except this means it was slightly over the target weight. For this reason a corner (top right) needed to be trimmed to reduce the final weight to exactly 500,000 kilograms.<br \/>\nAssembling in sections would spoil the smooth look of the sides and a hollow cube wouldn\u2019t sound right. That\u2019s the challenge.<br \/>\nStrangely finding a location wasn\u2019t hard. The Great Hall of the old Science Museum, now abandoned, was perfect. It has a solid floor and would support a great weight. Already derelict, there would be no danger of further damage.<br \/>\nI also thought of getting everyone involved to sign NDAs. That\u2019s the really easy part.<br \/>\nJob almost done&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 330px;\">Like many pointless endeavours it has a life of its own.
