This is your last chance to view the leaning tower of styrofoam.

Built by around 50 flying drones, the structure stands constructed out of 1,500 styrofoam bricks at a height of 20 feet high and 11 wide.

The Swiss architectural firms Gramazio & Kohler and Raffaello D'Andrea took the initiative placing an array of specialized sensors on each of the drones to carry out the building tasks with millimeter precision.
