Collective Paper Aesthetics



Noa Haim (Jerusalem, 1975) master of advanced architecture, designer, journalist and contributing editor, based in Rotterdam is the creator of this project called Collective Paper Aesthetics, a play in design models. The work is expressing in a playful manner the notion of architecture as a framework. It is a participatory activity and construction toy, initiated in a site specific installation made for London Festival of Architecture 2008. See more;


In the format of Participatory Installation Collective Paper Aesthetics are hosting Laser engraver on site. This set-up is allowing CAD/CAM experience for visitors and supported by Epilog.com distributor in Germany, Universal Laser distributor in Japan and Coreldraw. The installation format customers are cultural institutions like Arcam, Amsterdam Triennale Bovisa, Milano Danish design centre, Copenhagen and organizations as imm cologne, Köln and Euromold, Frankfurt.

Our Cconstruction toy comprises re-usable paper building blocks. Similar to Meccano, it enables the building of working models. Unlike Meccano, the basics connect one to another by ‘click’, no glue, nuts or bolts are needed. Products are available in La Biennale Electa c/o Corderie dell'Arsenale bookshop, NAI Rotterdam, and Marta Herford museum bookshop.



Collective Paper Aesthetics was of the entry winners in Dezeen x Tokyo Design Association environmental container competition organized by dezeen.com and tdwa.com. Previously, the work received an honorable mention from Seoul Design Festival 2009 organized by design.seoul.go.kr and seouldesign.or.kr along with runner-up in Recycling design prize 2009 organized by recyclingboerse.org and Made in Macef organized by macef.it
