5.0 out of 5 stars If you like OA and are a USAer, you'll love this
Great book of Origamic Architecture diagrams. All the buildings you'd expect to have plus one or two skylines.

3.0 out of 5 stars not for kids
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...

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes magic out of paper!!!, February 12, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Great American Buildings: Origami Cutouts of Everybody's Favorite Landmarks (Paperback)
Anyone who has seen intricate architectural modeling will certainly be fascinated by the origamic architecture method! It makes short work out of an extremely complicated looking result. If ever there was a true aphrodisiac, send your date one of these and tell her it's the first of a collection. Your patience will be rewarded!
