Architek, Paperback

An introduction to architectural creation, the 95 precut cardboard elements in this book can be combined in an infinite variety of ways to build all sorts of fantastical structures. Follow the full-color idea diagrams to create more than 20 unique projects, then disassemble them and try something different. Developing direction-following skills and 3-D creativity, this kit allows young architects to both learn traditional design rules and break them. Alternate the color and black-and-white facade graphics to customize your creations--no glue or fasteners needed, just slot into place The vibrant cutouts increase spatial visualization skills while giving future architects first-hand experience with color, form, and pattern.
