Title: Cardboard architecture/paper architecture: rethinking the load-bearing capacity of the model
Author/Creator: Ostwald, Michael J.; Chapman, Michael; Tucker, Chris
Institution: The University of Newcastle. Faculty of Science & Information Technology, School of Architecture and Built Environment
Description: Historically, the term "cardboard architecture" has had a range of often-pejorative meanings associated with it. In the 1960s it was used to describe various buildings which had facades that resembled flat planes and which had been punctured by simple orthagonal holes to create windows. This was literally a form of building which resembled a cardboard model and which lacked ornament or a sense of materiality.
