Another take on ephemeral architecture Tape was an installation at Federation Square, created by the revolutionary Viennese/Croatian design collective mavericks Numen/For Use [link]. Tape Melbourne was a temporary work made entirely of regular packing tape, a self-extinguishing tape and multiple layers of the transparent adhesive. Looking like a more angelic alien hive [link] that H.R.Giger  [link] would be proud   

The installation ran from the 13th to the 24th of September 2011.
