Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Great American Buildings: Origami Cutouts of Everybody's Favorite Landmarks (Paperback)

These models are beautiful - in the photographs. I am pretty crafty and math-oriented, but these were quite difficult. I had intended to use this with my students (grades 4-6 "gifted" art and math) but most got quite frustrated, quickly! I might be able to simplify some of the designs to be more student-friendly; for now I am back shopping for a simpler version of the same idea.

Great book of Origamic Architecture diagrams. All the buildings you'd expect to have plus one or two skylines.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly What I Wanted!, July 9, 2009

J. Harper - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Great American Buildings: Origami Cutouts of Everybody's Favorite Landmarks (Paperback)

I was looking for a way to create a city scape wall hanging for my office. I had purchased a shadow box frame with a hinged door and after some thought, felt that creating some form of an oragami city scape inside the frame would be unique and interesting. I went to amazon to see if I could find a book on how to create an oragami city scape and immediately found this book. It is exactly what I was looking for, it is very easy to follow, is in great condition, and arrived very quickly!
