"Want a challenge? Most people are familiar with folded paper origami cranes or napkin swansSome paper folders have graduated to folding elephants, crabs or geometric shapes. Then there are true papercraft artists whose creations are above and beyond a hobbyist's skill. In this case, you have Yee. Origami Architecture is for anyone who aspires to be the type of artist who is meticulous, exacting and fascinated by complexity." —McClatchy Newspapers
"What's notable about these paper replicas is how much detail that plain white paper can illuminate. When you strip away the model's materiality, the simple interface of light and shade highlights the striking beauty of the buildings' architectural outlines. That such intricate crafts can be folded flat only adds to their mystery." —Architect magazine
