SANAA's Kanazawa Contemporary Art Museum in toy form

By Sam Dunne - January 11, 2010

in Object Culture

Vincent Vergain, student of the Malaquais School of Architecture in Paris, created this model in a workshop entitled "City in a Suitcase". Vincent created this playful 3D representation as a critique on the passive, 2 dimensional way in which we absorb famous architectural works through images in books and magazines.

The model turns the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan into something of a child's "shape sorter" toy. Why just nurture your kid's spacial awareness when they can be an architecture connoisseur too?!
