Paper Architecture is a photo collaged book that juxtaposes the meaning of paper architecture as speculative architecture along with full-scale images of buildings wrapped around construction projects. Space is compressed as facades and schematics layer over each other.

Photography and design by Karen Wirth, offset printed by Brad Freeman at the Center for Book, Paper & Print, Columbia College Chicago on the Heidelberg GTO, 2017. Published in conjunction with JAB (Journal of Artists’ Books) #42.

Images from: Ayvalik, Amsterdam, Florence, Istanbul, New York City, Rome, San Diego, and Venice, Italy. Paper Architecture was originally an architectural installation that included a large-scale book.
