Origamic architecture involves the three-dimensional reproduction of architecture, geometric patterns, and everyday objects, 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.
Origin
Like origami, origamic architecture originates from Japan, but has tentatively spread to other countries. Tokyo Institute of Technology professor Masahiro Chatani is credited as the art form's creator, a practitioner of it since the 1980s. The dutch Ingrid Siliakus is well known all over the world for her designs of buildings and her book Papierarchitectuur, van gebouw tot kaart.
