collaboration ideas

I have been talking to Fran and we both thought along the lines of making a paper city, think this has been heavily influenced by our jobs at paperchase and love of science of sleep. as far as the paper city goes we've thrown ideas back and forth, there have been a few paper cities made before.



Now what has been playing on our minds is what to exactly do with paper city once it has been made. Building it we consider a celebration of the every day mundane so do we went to destroy it and how? personally i wanted to set the place on fire but there is not real theory behind this other than my destruction side.

Furthermore we have been looking into other paper structures and ideas. i am quite keen on the idea to make obscure objects out of paper and actually place them in the city for example if we are celebrating the mundane, we fashion telephone boxes, trees anything boring out of paper and place it on the streets. my reasons to this though are for personal fun. i actually physically want to build something playful for this project as the city to me is so dry and drab. anyway need to look further into these ideas and actually produce something tangible. we have found a few designers who have played around with this medium before. few links and pictures of work below
