The Paper Architect Hack is a hands-on workshop where participants transform flat sheets of paper into a 3D pop-up model of an iconic structure. Along the way, they explore design, scale, proportion, and storytelling - while also practicing focus and creative flow in an age of constant distraction. More than just an art activity, this workshop creates a shared experience of making, reflection, and engagement that’s perfect for teams, nonprofits, schools, government groups, and faith communities alike. If you’ve experienced the Hack yourself, consider bringing it to your office or organization - it’s a chance to fold, cut, build, and connect in a whole new way.
