★ Origamic Architecture Instructions & Free Kirigami Templates ★

Architectural origami is the art of paper cutting to create 3D buildings – from just one sheet of paper! The designs range from the simple to the exceptionally intricate, and the subject matter can be anything from a whole city to a famous landmark or even your own house. This page will focus on 90° pop-up buildings and detailed shapes, where the 3D design emerges and is fully visible when the paper is folded to an angle of 90 degrees. Below you will find inspirational examples of origami artist’s work, advice for creating your own artwork, plus free online downloads. If the lines are straight, use a steel ruler alongside your craft knife to get neat, perfectly straight cuts.
