Frank Lloyd Wright Paper Models: 14 Kirigami Buildings to Cut and Fold (paper folding, origami) Review: Great gift for an architect. - Bought as gift which was enthusiastically received. Review: Fantastic models for a rewarding hobby - Marc Hagan-Guirey has managed to improve on his excellent "Horrorgami" book and set a new bar for Kirigami models. First off, the pages are 11"x14", almost twice the area of Horrorgami's pages. This results in some very impressive models with details that may have been harder to pull off at a smaller scale. Secondly, this book comes with many of its most intricate details pre-cut. While this might sound like "cheating" to some, anyone who has struggled through cutting dozens of rectangular windows can tell you that this can be incredibly tedious and challenging. Having so many small parallel lines next to each other magnifies every little imperfection, and no matter how skilled you are, there will probably be a couple imperfections among dozens of tiny cuts like that. There is still plenty of challenging/rewarding work to do with those cuts eliminated, and I'm happy to see them gone. Kirigami is pretty easy to get into, requiring just an X-Acto, a metal ruler, and a cutting surface. As a total novice, I was able to make good-looking models in around an hour or so. However, there is always room to improve your technique, and when you combine this with the sense of relaxation and focus that you feel when cutting out these models, it makes for a really rewarding hobby.

Fantastic book! I absolutely love all the Wright buildings ...
Fantastic book! I absolutely love all the Wright buildings included in this edition. The instructions are clear and the cut-outs well thought-out. A great purchase for fans of F.L. Wright, model makers and those keen on learning how to make their own kirigamis.

Me parece un gran libro para cualquier arquitecto y más si es fanático de Wright, es muy entretenido hacer las maquetas. Además la calidad es muy buena, es muy claro como debe armarse y quedan muy lindas. sin duda una gran compra y sería un gran regalo.

Amazing paper quality for the kirigami cutouts. The popouts are already laser cutted. You just need to cut some edges which are mentioned in the instructions and then straight away fold them
