2. The Gallery of MOMO Origami Architecture

We are launching the MOMO Origami Architecture project on the SNS platform that was originally planned coinciding with the DOCOMOMO2020+1 International Conference. We will post a new Origami Architecture once a week on Facebook and twitter.

Origami architecture was started in 1981 by the architect scholar, Masahiro Chatani (1934-2008). 3 dimensional architectural form is expressed from one piece of paper being cut out. Influenced by Japanese traditional paper folding culture, his Origami Architecture is a contemporary craft that reveals sensitive but grandiose pieces of art. Among numerous Origami Architecture pieces, the current project is featuring worldly dominated modern architecture created around the 1970s because it is made possible by the collaboration with DOCOMOMO International who is dedicated to document architecture depicting the modern movement (MOMO). Weekly online exhibition will be accompanied by the special comments describing the main elements of the Origami Architecture piece of the week. They may jump or fly occasionally. We would like you to pay attention to why we introduce that particular Origami Architecture at that time. Please enjoy the MOMO Origami Architecture series.
