A system of construction comprising a plurality of modules. The modules have a plurality of struts and pivots joining the struts so that they are moveable between a collapsed condition in which the struts are bundled in generally parallel relation and an expanded condition. In the expanded condition certain of the pivots define face pivots lying in a planar array at one side of the module. The modules are arranged such that pairs of the face pivots of adjacent modules are adjacent to each other. The adjacent face pivots are joined by removable connectors. The connectors join the modules to form a three dimensional structure and simultaneously define corner recesses. At least one panel is held in place by a plurality of the corner recesses.

A three dimensional modular structure which comprises the combination of: a plurality of modules, each comprising a plurality of struts and pivot means joining said struts so that the struts are movable between a collapsed condition in which the struts are bundled in generally parallel relation and an expanded condition in which certain of said pivot means define fact pivot means lying in a planar array at one side of the expanded module, and the modules being arranged in a pattern defining first, second and third intersection axes in which pairs of said face pivot means of adjacent modules are disposed in adjacent relation; connector means removably received in said pairs of face pivot means of adjacent modules for joining said modules to form the three dimensional structure and simultaneously defining corner recesses with their associated face pivot means; and at least one panel having means received and held captive in a plurality of said corner recesses.
