I've blogged before about architectural models that I wish came in dollhouse sizes (360 Winnett and MC finds), but mini2b sent me this really cool link to an architectural model on Court1616's Flickr page called A Writer's Tower. Oh how I wish this was a real dollhouse in 1:12 scale.Thanks for the link mini2B!
Your email reminded me of a paper model of Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye made by Paperlandmarks. It is 1/200 in scale and is sold in printed, pre-cut, or fully assembled.
On my never ending list of things to do, I had wanted to build a 1:12 version of Villa Savoye, but the sheer size of it was so daunting that I moved towards the Case Study Houses instead. Sadly, only plans on paper now, but I hope to start building one later this year.Note: the pre-assembled Villa Savoye is $75 at Paperlandmarks etsy shop. They also sell a lot of other historical buildings but of modern interest are paper models of SFMOMA and Le Corbusier's Notre Dame du Haut, Ronchamp Chapel.

I too purchased the Villa Savoye (and a few other models) with every intent to build it but after opening the package decided I was not that ambitious yet!! I did not realize it came assembled; heading to the Paperlandmarks store now.
ReplyDeleteWow! I admire your ambitions! Can I pre order now? C
ReplyDeleteHi mini2b,
ReplyDeleteI think the assembled version is the way to go! :) Thanks again for the great link to the Writer's Tower, that model is gorgeous!

Hey C, you are first on my list, but it will be awhile. I think installing the floors on the Antrim is going to take longer than I'm guessing. :D
like you I have a "todo" list that grows longer and longer....
