I found this over at Makezine the other day and it just blew me away today. Simon Schubert uses nothing but folded paper to create these stunning architectural drawings. How incredible is this? Not only because of how much time this artist must have on his hands, but also just how incredibly talented he must be to do something like this!
Simply, stunning.

Simon Schubert arranges areas of paper, up to whole dwellings from wrapping paper. Completely with a derangierten, inhabitant only suggested in its shape and some material lamps everything consists in these areas of folded paper: the jacket on a handle at the wall, a bed, a picture. In a subtle shift of the material one Schubert contents of Vergänglichkeit, disappearance and open to attackness analyzes and translates these into a physically erfahrbare reality. Going beyond it he negotiates the conception of one in the consciousness crisis of the modern trend fragile coherency of identity and world, become. From this for instance a Portrait Samuel Becketts came out, which Schubert, likewise on paper as image carrier, drew by filigrane foldings. In the folding carries out itself a form of the physical registration, which threatens and forms the image carrier at the same time. In hardly noticeable interaction from positive and negative folding thereby, depending upon line of sight, a plastic Portrait, which is able to become again invisible however in the next moment, develops. This Portrait, schillernd between two and three-dimensionality, design and relief, object and picture draws above all out by the reduction of formative elements. It seems again and again to tilt it in the nothing, shows up variably in the change of the light or the viewer position.
