Builder a glass structure connecting over 2000 random points

This a large installation over than 2 meters high. The challenge is to made it in glass only, and need be self-supported. I use lunchBox calculated a four-layer structure. The team first welded nine glass bars together to form the core. We failed couple of times, as the glass node always crack. Finally we master the glass welding skill and use thinner glass bar, because thick glass has annealing issue. We have been worried about structure, but it turns out surprisingly strong. We built it on a temporary base, and then hang it on air continue adding rest modules.
