Kirigami - Building Designs

A kirigami model


Kirigami (japanese: kiru - to cut; gami - paper) is a variation of the Japanese art form Origami and involves cutting of folded paper to create different shapes. It is a good way to create free standing 3D models, frames, stencils and decorative items.


For my model, I am planning to use Kirigami models alongside the basic hard board layout to inculcate a more rough (intentional) and cut out kind of a feel. The kirigami models are easier to maneuver and bend as compared to a harder material model and thus will make filming much easier and give a more organic appeal to the model.

Model scale

Found the scale and style I'm going to be working with. Since I haven't made my model yet, I have a visual reference from the internet which would describe roughly what I'm working with!
