Check out the origami* city that took a Japanese art student four years to make. All paper, apart from the lighting.
*I think its origami, anyway. The story calls it ‘Paper Craft’ (with caps), which I’m guessing is origami transliterated.
Actually, this would make an awesone Gormenghast.
Hey Walden - you better get busy!!!
I can make a crane out of a piece of paper.
Wow! That’s some project!
BTW, that type of papercraft is called origamic architecture.
I just misread that as origasmic. 
Doesn’t really sound like something I would usually say.
Oh, stop it - you make some fantastic things out of paper and you know it!!! 
Hmm. Doesn’t that fall under kirigami, not origami?
…not to nitpick, but…
It’s papercraft, in English, at least. Origami is folding, maybe with a snip of a cut or two, although purists frown on it.
The most complicated origami I’ve ever done was a Jack-in the box (that really works!). My daughter was trying to fold one a few nights a go and gave up, although she has managed it before.
But beautiful stuff, for papercraft!
Origamic architecture is kind of a combination of the two, and is the same sort of thing one finds in pop-up books… just usually more elaborate.
I couldn’t help but wonder that if so much time was spent on this project if revisions weren’t made because of a vision change or because the artist revised techniques.
