Oops…I thought I had posted this yesterday. I wanted to finish up the week by showing something that is not traditional brick and mortar, but nonetheless indicative of outstanding architectural skill.

Ingrid Siliakus was inspired by Masahiro Chatani and began creating her own paper sculptures in the 1980’s.

She has done international buildings, inspired by actual structures.

Some are “abstract” buildings:

Others involve reflection:

Ingrid states that working with this art form has given her personal means of expressing. Her designing skills have grown over the years. Her specialties are buildings of master architects and intricate abstract sculptures. Her source of inspiration by these abstract sculptures are works of artists like M.C. Escher. –Source

Well this certainly trumps my childhood pop up books:

Have a look at her galleries.

Many beautiful sculptures in her flickr sets as well.
