Artist Is Making a Wonderfully Intricate Paper Architectural Miniature Every Day in ‘Paperholm’ Project

Paperholm Miniature Paper City by Charles Young

Since August of this year, Edinburgh-based artist Charles Young has been creating a wondrous paper architectural miniature every day for his ongoing project, Paperholm. The models–of windmills, houses, carnival rides, and more–are hand-crafted from watercolor paper, and many of them feature complex moving parts. Young, a trained architect, says the models are part of “a growing paper city.”
