The King of Pop up Architecture (Athens Parthenon)

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

It took approximately one year to design this spectacular magical art. 
You can't find any pop up architecture more awesome than it is in the world.
It is made with paper entirely. The building design is base on Athens Parthenon. It has 58 complete columns when it is opened. It uses a unique designed interlocking system that no glue is applied (except two pieces are glued onto the baseboard).
When you open this pop-up creation there is wondrous movement and a structure arises which is so interesting and fascinating that it captures your attention. The dreamlike scene created by light and shadow invites you to a fantasy world. The unfolding process is unforeseen and even if you try to draw a diagram or think about it, you may find it difficult to comprehend the mechanism. 
Why it is white?
It is not essential to color the paper used to make pop-ups. The play of light and shade over a plain surface can look beautiful, and clearly informs the eye about the structure of the piece. By contrast, a colored surface can be confusing because the eye sees the two dimensional decoration dominating the three dimensional form, which creates the illusion of a flat surface. Leave your pop-ups plain. They will still look stunning.

Dimensions: 22.35 inches in length / 14.5 inches in width / 6.6 inches in height
