The frame of the structure is built out of 1/2" diameter PVC pipe. The structure will be suspended with straps over my shoulders and covered in painted fabric. The unpainted portion of the fabric will allow light to filter through the cloth, whereas the painted portion will be opaque.
The images below are of the panels that will be constructed out of cotton fabric and covered in latex paint. It is essentially a depiction how the building is intended to look after being internally illuminated using battery operated fluorscent and LED sources.
Here is a photo of one of the patterns being cut out of paper that I will use to transfer onto the cotton fabric shown below. I intend to paint all of the fabric panels tonight. I'll post tomorrow with updates.
