Whether you choose to accept it or not, this reality affects us all in one way or another.

Designers Spin Spidey-Worthy Webs From Packing Tape
Packing tape has gotten MacGyver out of many a jam, but he never managed to make an entire home out of the stuff. So he could probably learn something from Viennese/Croatian design collective For Use/Numen. The team uses nothing but packing tape to create huge, self-supporting cocoons that visitors could climb inside and explore.
