A typical elevational module emerging from three nodes that sprouts into three inverted pyramids. The three inverted pyramids form the base that multiplies three dimensionally to create an elevational module that forms half of each face of the truncated pyramid. The geometry accommodates the triangular openings formed naturally on each side and corners of the elevational module.
