Ingrid Siliakus : Paper Architecture


This piece of paper architecture is by a designer called Ingrid Siliakus she is very well known for her breathe taking paper sculptures. She started out creating famous buildings out of paper while also manipulating their form; she then grew to create her own architecture styled pieces. Her work is considered to be the product of marrying two paper art forms together, origami and pop-up. I have chosen this piece of work specifically for its precision. The cleanness of each cut is amazing and adds to its perfectness. The layering and intertwinement intrigues me into the piece, for me this is what design craft is all about. The way Ingrid lights her piece is important too because shadows emphasize folds. She has put subtle light in from both sides of the piece adding shadow. The piece itself has shadow because of the imprinted cut out left where the layers have been raise from forming a double shadow. Ingrid Siliakus produces he work by cutting into paper and then manipulates it so that it rises up from the surface, almost like a pop-up book. Ingrid produces 20-30 prototypes before her final draft is completed to make sure all the problems with her designs are solve before beginning the final outcome.
