MASAHIRO CHATANI ORIGAMIC ARCHITECTURE
Book of beautiful paper sculptures. Comes with templates and instructions on how to make the models. "The development of origamic architecture began with Professor Masahiro Chatani’s (then a newly-appointed professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology) experiments with designing original and unique greeting cards." "Origamic architecture involves the three-dimensional reproduction of architecture, geometric patterns, everyday objects, or other images, on various scales, using cut-out and folded paper, usually thin cardboard. Visually, these creations are comparable to intricate 'pop-ups', indeed, some works are deliberately engineered to possess 'pop-up'-like properties. However, origamic architecture tends to be cut out of a single sheet of paper, whereas most pop-ups involve two or more. To create the three-dimensional image out of the two-dimensional surface requires skill akin to that of an architect." - from Wikipedia |
