Gravity Constructs — card & block structures, no glue, no fixings · 7 Guinness World Records

1. Live build — the working process

Shot during an actual construction. The structure rises level by level; the builder works on a ladder. This is what a public build looks like.

As a street or stage act, the build itself is the performance: audiences watch a load-bearing structure approach its limits over hours, and the tension is real.

2. Finished structure on stage

A completed pyramid displayed against stage drapery — the kind of centrepiece a festival or venue programme can present.

Tallest house of cards: 2.91 m (34 levels), Guinness World Record, 2025.
