Information

The concept of Origamic Architecture (Origami Architecture) was originated from Professor Masahiro Chatani of the Tokyo Institute of Technology in the early 1980s.

There are several different styles of Origamic Architecture, the most popular one is the 90^o "Origamic Architecture". This basic Origamic Architecture involves simple cutting and folding procedures of a piece of paper. When the paper is opened (unfolded) to 90^o , a 3-dimensional pop-up structure is formed.

           

Another type of Origamic Architecture, which is also popular, is the 180^o pop-up model. Usually, a few pieces of papers are required for the cutting procedures. Different paper parts are then put together and attached to a piece of "base sheet/card". This base sheet/card can be opened up to 180^o. The ultimately model is magnificent!

           

Kirigami is a Japanese paper art form that involves cutting and folding paper to create intricate designs and shapes. It is similar to origami, but in kirigami, cutting the paper is allowed in addition to folding it. This allows for a wider range of possibilities in terms of patterns and structures that can be created. Kirigami is often used in creating decorations, pop-up cards, and even architectural designs.



Basic Tools:
Art Knives, a steel ruler, tweezers and a cutting mat; bigger is better, preferably with grid-lines.
