DescriptionFrank Lloyd Wright Paper Models by Marc Hagan-Guirey invites enthusiasts of architecture and paper art to explore and recreate the timeless designs of one of America's most iconic architects. Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is celebrated for his innovative and striking designs which include masterpieces like Fallingwater and the Guggenheim Museum in New York. This extraordinary book offers a unique way to delve into the world of Wright by constructing paper models of 14 of his most beloved buildings through the intricate art of kirigami—cutting and folding paper.
Each project in the book is meticulously outlined with step-by-step instructions and includes a detailed template, which can be easily removed from the book for your convenience. By following the lines on these templates and employing precise cutting and folding techniques, you can create stunning, three-dimensional models of Wright’s architectural wonders. Essential tools for these projects include a scalpel, a cutting mat, and a ruler.
The book provides clear, expert cutting tips to assist you through the more challenging phases of the projects, complemented by photographs of the completed models to guide you towards the final design. To simplify the construction process, especially intricate sections of the templates have been pre-cut, allowing you to focus on the finer details with ease. Once completed, your paper models can be beautifully displayed to admire your craftsmanship and Wright's marvellous designs.
Whether you are an experienced folder or a beginner to kirigami, Frank Lloyd Wright Paper Models caters to all skill levels.
