Paper modeling encompasses the use of paper, cardboard, and folded materials as primary mediums for designing and prototyping architectural spaces and objects. This approach bridges craft traditions with contemporary design practice, offering tactile methods for exploring form, structure, and spatial relationships.

The community examines paper's potential across scales, from furniture design and pavilion structures to urban interventions and speculative architecture. Work ranges from origami-based pavilions and folded installations to cardboard prototyping and paper-based explorations of waste transformation and sustainable design.

Rejecting traditional closed rooms, it eliminates forced routes in favor of fluid, non-linear circulation. Strategic galleries dissolve boundaries, allowing users to experience the space freely at their own rhythm while staying connected.
