Origamic Architecture
As wikipedia describes, ‘origami is the ancient Japanese art of paper folding.’ The idea is to create an object using geometric folds without the use of gluing or cutting the paper.
But in 1981, Masahiro Chatani, a professor of Architecture at Tokyo Institute of Technology demonstrated that paper cutting could produce some wonderful pieces of art.
Along with Keiko Nakazawa, Chatani developed Origamic Architecture: a variation of kirigami (which is a variation of origami where small cuts are allowed), where you only needed an x-acto knife and a ruler to create complex 3D structures out of a single sheet of paper.
Sort of like 3D pop-up greeting cards, but way more complex. Here are some examples:

Origamic architecture
Type of artform
Origamic architecture is a form of kirigami that involves the three-dimensional reproduction of architecture and monuments, on various scales, using cut-out and folded paper, usually thin paperboard. Visually, these creations are comparable to intricate 'pop-ups', indeed, some works are deliberately engineered to possess 'pop-up'-like properties. However, origamic architecture tends to be cut out of a single sheet of paper, whereas most pop-ups involve two or more. To create the three-dimensional image out of the two-dimensional surface requires skill akin to that of an architect.
Origin
[edit]The development of origamic architecture began with Professor Masahiro Chatani's (then a newly appointed professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology) experiments with designing original and unique greeting cards.[1] Japanese culture encourages the giving and receiving of cards for various special occasions and holidays, particularly the Japanese New Year, and according to his own account, Professor Chatani personally felt that greeting cards were a significant form of connection and communication between people. He worried that in today's fast-paced modern world, the emotional connections called up and created by the exchang
